After stylist Angi Snodgrass opened her salon, she dubbed it the Cass & Company Salon to foreground the importance of her entire team. The tight-knit crew, designated Level 5 to Level 1 stylists, hone their techniques at workshops held across the country and even teach new talent on site.

Within the chic space, the stylists cut, color, and retexturize locks, fortifying strands with Reference of Sweden, Aveda, Eufora, and Gage for Men products. They do their work next to the salon’s sleek grey walls and under a ceiling lofty enough to allow someone to fly a kite beneath it. Elsewhere in the salon, technicians perform Aveda facials, body waxes, eyelash enhancements and massage therapists administer deep-tissue massages in private rooms.
