Laurel Javors never felt totally comfortable getting a haircut. Javors, 30, started taking testosterone 3½ years ago and noticed that while barbershop employees were always polite and accepting, the shop itself didn’t feel totally relaxing and safe. Then Javors started going to Bee Sweet, an inclusive hair space in RiNo where no one makes assumptions about identity and haircuts are priced based on complexity and time involved, rather than gender. Javors immediately felt more at home there. “I felt like the masculinity of some of the (barbershop) clients was pretty problematic, and while they accepted my queerness and they were very gracious and accommodating, I don’t think they understood the importance of hair to a queer identity,” said Javors, who lives in Denver and works in politics.
