AS Services: Hair Cuts with Jessica

This service is for transgender, gender diverse, and nonbinary people.

About the session:

Experience the empowerment of a fresh look with our free gender-affirming haircuts! Whether you're exploring a new style or embracing your true self, Jess will provide supportive and affirming services tailored to your needs. Enjoy a personalised haircut that aligns with your identity and helps you feel confident.

About the facilitator:

Jess has been practicing hairdressing professionally since lockdown as a switch up from using art as a medium to help audiences see themselves, now using fashion and styling to achieve the same result. Jess gets great joy from helping facilitate people to realise themselves and see the person who's always existed in their mind's eye finally reflected in the mirror.

Jess' early career was in theatre and film production, a highlight being touring their solo cabaret Gender Spanner to fringe festivals worldwide. Their drag king persona Jezza Bellend brings masculine femininity to the forefront, exploring a true blend of gender to the absolute extreme.
