Level 6 Stylist + Owner

Jamie DiGrazia / She/They / Gemini / @jamiedigrazia

I’ve worked with hair for… over twenty years.

I’m an expert in… sculpting short barber-inspired hair and working with textured hair of all lengths—the bigger/longer the better when it comes to curls!

I chose to open Logan Parlor because… I wanted to have a space that I could feel safe, seen, and celebrated in, and I didn't find that anywhere else. I wanted to go to work every day and be my authentic self so that my guests are comfortable enough to be their authentic selves as well. I’m inspired by… interesting shapes, other people, and especially the colors and shapes found in nature.
