Located in the heart of Historic Federal Hill, Providence, Salon Bianco is an award-winning, inclusive salon founded in 2007 by stylist and educator Bethany Wood. Known for our creative artistry and commitment to client care, we offer a full range of hair services in a welcoming, affirming space for all identities and hair types.
Our team of highly skilled professionals specializes in precision cutting, barbering, hair extensions, creative coloring, keratin treatments, and full-body waxing. We’re proud to offer a genderless service menu, ensuring pricing is based on time and technique—not gender. Whether you're looking for a sharp fade, vibrant fashion color, or a transformative new style, you'll find thoughtful, tailored service every step of the way.
Salon Bianco is a proud LGBTQIA+ affirming, gender-inclusive, and neuro-inclusive space. We provide masks at reception for those who request them, have gender-neutral restrooms, and offer a private room for guests who require additional privacy or sensory accommodations. Above all, we do our best to accommodate any and all situations our guests may need—because comfort, safety, and respect are non-negotiable here.
