Our Space

Where You Can
Simply Exist

Seraph & Stardust is a community-rooted, queer-owned salon in Cleveland, Tennessee. We built it from the very first day to be a real safe space, and we mean it.

In our chairs you'll find care without pressure, without judgment, and without a single raised eyebrow. Whether you're here for a fresh cut, a bold color transformation, or a set of nails that feels like wearable art, this room was made for you to breathe.

We're a home for independent artists, too. Each stylist runs their own chair and their own books, and everyone here shares one rule: every person who walks in should feel like they belong.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming An inclusive space for every identity and expression. No exceptions, no asterisks.
Sensory Friendly A calm, unhurried environment built with neurodivergent kids and adults in mind. Patience is part of the practice.
All Ages & Families We love the little ones. Bring the whole crew. Nobody gets left at the door.
Service & Support Animals Welcome Your service and support animals are family, welcome in our space and right by your side.
Pay What You Can

Feeling good shouldn't depend on what's in your wallet.

Our owner Asher offers pay-what-you-can haircuts. Everyone deserves to leave the chair feeling like themselves, whatever their budget allows, and there is never any pressure or awkward conversation about it.

Our People

When my child came out to me as trans, I knew the first person I needed to talk to was Asher, and he got us a private appointment in less than 24 hours to give my child the haircut they needed to feel more themselves. My kids and I won't go anywhere else. ❤️

Asher was so welcoming. He was encouraging, lifted me up, made me laugh, and gave me great advice. He makes sure his clients feel at home and loved, and gave me a haircut that makes me remember who I really am.

Tori S. · Cleveland, TN · Verified client

His “pay-what-you-can” haircuts have genuinely been a lifesaver for me. He's very intuitive about what works for different people and helped me develop a more signature look. I now have the confidence I used to have around my hair! He's created a space where everyone is welcome.

Asher did a first haircut for my 4 yr old neurospicy child. He had a kind and patient attitude and let her take the lead on comfort level. The whole salon has a very calm vibe. We will definitely be back!

There are not words for how happy I am with my hair. Gray gave me the vivid flames of my dreams. Even better than my dreams, because my hair glows! A million stars. Book with her, you will not be disappointed!
