Steven 

Steven Champine (he/him) is a seasoned (not stale) stylist with a dynamic 15-year career in the hair industry. Known for his creativity, he has transitioned from a focus on cut and color to specializing exclusively in cutting. Steven's mastery spans all hair textures and tools, but his razor cuts truly stand out for their ability to maintain their shape over time, minimizing the need for frequent trims.

Steven's pricing philosophy is refreshingly modern: he charges based on time spent rather than gender, promoting fairness and transparency and does not accept tips. He emphasizes a straightforward and inclusive service, providing gender-affirming haircuts that make clients feel confident and authentic.

Beyond the salon, Steven's talents extend into the world of music. He studied jazz performance and music business at Wayne State and has been DJing for over 19 years. When he's not shaping hair or playing music, you'll find him delving into bad 70s and 80s horror films and episodes of Columbo or Murder She Wrote with his girlfriend and their two cats.

Lindsey

For the past 15 years, Lindsey has been behind the chair as a hairstylist—a career that began right after high school and has become a defining part of her identity. Her clients have become family, with some loyally following her through every salon move across Oakland County. That connection and support mean the world to her.

​

Interestingly, Lindsey’s clients have also embraced her other passion: the dog training business she and Chad have built together over the past seven years. Many have trusted Lindsey and Chad with their beloved pets, referred friends and family, and cheered them on at every step. That level of trust and encouragement has been a constant source of gratitude.

​

So, what’s next? Lindsey isn’t leaving hairstyling, but she is making a meaningful shift. Starting soon, she’ll be running independently behind the chair at her new location, KINFOLK in Royal Oak, working two days a week—Mondays and Fridays.

This change allows Lindsey to focus on the services she loves most while creating space for her second passion: dog training.

​

While the transition comes with a mix of emotions and a bit of imposter syndrome, Lindsey is ready to embrace the challenge. She’s excited to grow in new ways and pursue what brings her the most joy.
