Indyanna is a gentle-hearted instructor therapist and hairstylist with a gift for connecting with children exactly where they are. With over 10 years of experience in hairstyling and a deep commitment to neurodiversity-affirming care, she specializes in creating calm, respectful, and sensory-aware haircut experiences for neurodivergent children—including those with Autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and anxiety.
After witnessing how traditional salon environments often overwhelmed children with sensory sensitivities, Indyanna saw that a haircut could be something more than a routine service—it became a relationship, a ritual, and a moment of trust. Her approach is slow, flexible, and deeply attuned to each child’s comfort. Whether that means cutting hair on the floor, allowing breaks, or simply starting with a hello and no scissors at all, Indyanna works from a place of patience and compassion.
Trained in trauma-informed care and sensory integration principles, she partners closely with families to honour each child’s unique needs and preferences. Her space is not just a salon—it’s a sanctuary where meltdowns are never met with judgment, and every small step is celebrated.
When she’s not behind the scissors, you’ll find her creating visual supports for her clients, teaching in the Second Nature classroom, acting as a respite worker, or advocating for more inclusive services for neurodivergent kids.
