Meet Tess.
Hi, I’m Tess Bradley – a haircutting specialist in Ferndale, MI.
In 2000, after being told not to go to beauty school, I did what any determined 16-year-old would do—I enrolled that same day. I instantly knew I’d found my people and my passion.
I spent 10 years in East Lansing focused on haircutting, developing a love for custom shapes, face-framing fringes, and razor cutting techniques that bring movement and softness to the hair. I work with all hair textures, from coily and curly to ultra-straight, and specialize in simplehealthy hair routines that embrace your unique beauty.
After moving to Ferndale, MI, I expanded into hair color—think lived-in blonding, funky color blocks, and gentle, damage-free glazes. I’m now proud to be part of Mint Hair Crafting, an inclusive, affirming salon proudly listed on the Strands for Trans map.
In addition to haircutting and color, I offer headspa treatments at Melt Headspa by Mint Hair Crafting. These relaxing scalp and hair rituals are designed to help you unwind, reset, and support your overall well-being.
My chair is a no-judgment zone where all races, textures, sizes, sexualities, and gender identities are welcome and celebrated. If you're in Ferndale, Detroit, or Royal Oak and looking for a stylist who gets texture, honors your natural hair, and creates a calm, affirming space—you’re in the right place.
