Meet Apprentice:

Mason

Hi hi! I'm Mason and while I only got licensed to do hair in 2025, it's been a passion for me since I was in middle school doing my mom's roots touch ups and my fellow emo friends hair color and cuts. Throughout my life my hair has been my biggest confidence but also my biggest struggle, especially as a non-binary person. There is no better feeling than empowering others to feel like their hair truly represents them, and it is always my goal for you to be listened to and feel autonomous throughout the whole salon experience. 

I originally moved to Gaineville to study natural resource conservation, but I couldn't deny myself the excitement of a creative and social career. Then I completely fell in love with the Gainesville community and small buisness culture here, and Goldenrod Parlor is shining example of how ecologially minded and inclusive buisness can be.
