Welcome to

Cherise Atkinson

salon & Apothecary

 

I am CHERISE ATKINSON (she/her) originally from the Bay Area Peninsula. I am now a proud part of the Plumas County community, in the charming town of Quincy!

As a stylist & a herbalist I bring a passion for holistic self-care to each head spa ritual, wellness treatment & haircut I offer. I believe quality, non-toxic ingredients & intentional details allow your haircare services to become profound self-care rituals.

While most stylist offer a standard service with a big salon blow dry, I view my roll as your stylist a bit differently. I enjoy creating haircuts that do the work for you & won’t require a salon style blow out to have you looking & feeling your best. I work with your unique hair type, texture, density, growth patterns & desired maintenance routine. I prioritize offering creative shapes that are high style & easy wear in a clean air salon space.

I have been a stylist for 20 years, specializing in precision haircutting, with a dedicated focus on helping folks express themselves authentically & care for themselves boldly. I am a lover of medicinal plants & how they influence our external & internal wellbeing. The salon and apothecary is filled with the subtle scents & profound energetics of many of my favorite botanical allies. Come in, have a cup of tea, soak up some plant magic & tap into the kind of self-care that allows easy access to authentic visual expression.

I can’t wait to meet you!

xoxo, Cherise

 


 

Salon & Apothecary VALUES


HAIR HAS NO GENDER!

Welcome to a safer-space, Dresscode Project, alliance salon!

Dresscode Project is a global alliance of salons/shops committed to providing positive, gender-affirming services for LGBTQ2S+ clients.

Dresscode project offers education & empowers hair stylists & barbers like me to give people haircuts that help them look the way they feel.


ALL BODIES ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Welcome to a body positive space. All bodies are considered & respected here!

Salon details intended to increase comfort:

The waiting lounge includes one plush boucle bench with a low back.

The salon chair measures 23 inches armrest to armrest. The armrests sit high & are designed to give some additional wiggle room at the seat for comfort.

The backwash station is an ergonomic electric recliner that extends into a bed like lounge. It has no armrests at the seat. The wash bowl offers support at the back of the head, relieving the pressure & strain on the neck often experienced with most standard wash bowls.

Please connect with me if you would like to discuss specific accommodations to ensure a comfortable service experience. Your comfort matters.


RESPONSIBLE LUXURY ETHOS

Responsible luxury is luxury with a soul. It is an ethos that is expressed through an integrated & seamless experience of intentional products & services, delivered by the committed & sensitive, striving to serve both people & planet. Responsible luxury is a core value of mine & is thoughtfully integrated through every product choice in the apothecary. When receiving hair services or shopping the apothecary you can trust that all products align with this ethos.
