The Clothing Swap is a community event where you can donate gently used items and “swap” for new-to-you finds. Our clothing swap events happen twice a year, seasonally. Any remaining items after the event are donated to Diversity Thrift and VCU Professional Attire Donations.

On Sunday, March 30, 2025 we hosted our first annual Trans Day of Visibility event and we provided gender-affirming services for our community. Instead of payment, we encouraged donations to the amazing local organizations listed below. We also donated a portion of salon profits from services on March 31, 2025 (TDOV) and we matched employee contributions. We are so grateful for the trust our clients place in us every day, and for the trans and nonbinary folks who joined us for this incredible event.

Black Lives Matter protest with a large crowd, people holding signs, and one person standing on a structure taking photos.

We stand in solidarity with the protestors that are demonstrating across our nation against systemic racism and injustice. Times are hard for everyone right now, and times are harder for our Black and Brown Brothers and Sisters. Racism is real. Implicit bias is real. To be silent is to be complicit. Black Lives Matter. Our team of stylists are committed to making a difference. We will be donating a portion of our services to the local organizations below. Some stylists will also be donating a portion of their tips and Circle Square will be donating a match.

Girls For A Change

Blue Sky Fund
