Hi Brad + Justin! Can you introduce yourselves and how you became the owners of Three Cutters Salon?
Brad and Justin, the current owners of Three Cutters, followed the path of the previous visionaries, Suann and Joseph Brehm, who originally opened Three Cutters on Pearl in 2001. Justin (he/him) started his career in the beauty industry at the Aveda Experience Center in Cherry Creek back in 2002. While working at Aveda, Justin decided to obtain his esthetics license and was immediately offered a position at Three Cutters on Pearl, not only because of his skill, but because of his ability to connect with the community and his drive to grow business.
Brad (he/him) started his career in the beauty industry in 1996 and quickly fell in love with educating others on all things beauty, wellness, and personal development. When Brad and Justin met in 2005, they had a vision to continue to elevate the industry of beauty— the industry that had already given them so much joy. The journey of constant development came full circle in 2011, when Brad and Justin bought Three Cutters on Pearl. Now Three Cutters Salon and Skincare, Brad and Justin have expanded the brand to two neighborhood salons offering simply excellent hair, skin, and body care services.
What makes Three Cutters Salon unique?
Three Cutters has been a non-tipping salon since 2001. Simply put, this means we do not accept cash or credit tips. But it goes so much deeper than that. We view our service providers as professionals as they as highly training and specialized in their field. We believe in taking care of our team members from several different aspects, which is why we offer higher commissions, paid sick time, health benefits, vision benefits, dental benefits, and IRA matches. We offer education dollars to continue our team members professional development and host team member events that promote personal wellness. We believe that wellness can exist in the service industry.
We are proud to have created a space where everyone feels that they can show up with their best and most authentic self. Three Cutters is an Aveda concept and Organic Way salon, where we believe in treating ourselves and the planet with respect. Delivering on our mission of simple excellence, at Three Cutters we strive to minimize waste and excess while providing every guest with their own moment of wellness.
What types of Services does “Three Cutters Salon” have?
Three Cutters Salon and Skincare features scalp to soul experiences with a team of highly trained stylists and estheticians. We provide full-service hair services, as well as skin and spa services. Of course, we offer the basics like cut, color, facials, and face and body waxing. Many of our team members are skilled in high performing treatments, so we also offer mirconeedling, light therapy, scalp treatments, and other specialized services. As we value education and personal development, our service providers are encouraged to continually train in updated techniques and services that contribute to our guests wellness.
What neighborhoods can we find Three Cutters Salon? Why were these neighborhoods chosen?
Three Cutters has been in the Washington Park neighborhood since 2001 and has recently moved further south on Pearl. Our new location is located on the first floor of the living community The Aston, nestled between the charming Washington Park and Platt park neighborhoods. We also have a second location in the heart of the Capitol Hill neighborhood, near the beautiful Cheeseman Park. The locations were specifically chosen because of the community. Not to mention, both locations are extremely walkable, with access to several RTD stations and bike routes along the way.
What challenges have you had to face along your journey?
The biggest challenge that comes with owning a business comes from aiming for success while minimizing our impact on the environment. Partnering with Aveda and OWay supports in our mission of creating beauty in the delivery of services while remaining conscious in the decisions we make. We find it important that we bring attention to causes that are close to our heart— personal and environmental wellness— so we raise awareness yearly around Breast Cancer, LGBTQ affairs, and sustainability efforts.
How would you describe the personality or “Vibe” of Denver?
Denver is a laid back, yet environmentally conscious city. We believe what makes Three Cutters and Denver similar in their vibe is that we recognize inner beauty is as important as outer beauty. Denver is a city of extreme beauty and we are honored to be a part of keeping the city and individuals who reside here simply beautiful.
