Neuro-Inclusive Hair Salon at 138 Burr Rd, San Antonio, TX 78209

Hi, I’m Cari (She/They)
I started The Crescent Salon because I believe everyone deserves a “safe seat” in the stylist’s chair. As a queer person, I know how intimidating or overstimulating traditional salons can feel. I’ve traded the social pressure for a space that celebrates neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folks looking for a hair salon near me.
While I’m dedicated to making you feel safe in Alamo Heights, I’m also obsessed with the art of hair. I’m a Master Stylist specializing in vivid pink and red balayage, total color transformations, and custom haircuts. Whether you want a quiet appointment or a complete transformation, I’m your person. Let’s make some magic!
Consultations & New Looks
Whether we’ve known each other for years or you’re brand new to my chair, I want to give your ideas my full attention. To protect the low-sensory experience of the studio, I follow strict studio policies and do not take unscheduled calls or texts. This ensures that when you are in my chair at The Crescent Salon, my focus is entirely on you.
How to Connect
- Fill out the Consultation Form.
- Review: I will respond within 12 hours.
- The Plan: I will let you know exactly which session length to book so we can jump right into the creative part when you arrive.



At The Crescent Salon, comfort isn’t an afterthought—it’s the whole point. I’ve designed this space to be a low-sensory environment where you can step away from the noise and actually breathe. This 6-step ritual is the heartbeat of every service.
- Weight: A weighted pad on your chest for grounding.
- Scent: A warm towel with peppermint. (Let me know if you are scent-sensitive and we will skip this).
- The Wash: A firm, intentional scrub.
- Condition: A hydrating treatment while you relax.
- Massage: A temple massage to release tension.
- Wake Up: A final warm towel to help you transition back to the chair.
I follow your Sensory Lead. Whether you prefer connection or a ‘Silent Appointment,’ your energy is honored here. All of this happens within a consistent, lyric-free acoustic soundscape to protect your auditory processing. This commitment to your comfort is why many consider us the top hair salon in San Antonio for neuro-inclusive care. You can learn more about how we protect your space on our studio policies page.
To ensure your hair feels as good as your nervous system, every color service is all-inclusive. For those coming in for a Haircut & Scalp Treatment, your experience includes the full 6-step ritual plus a specialized exfoliating scalp scrub to refresh and renew. You can find a full breakdown of our pricing and session expectations on our studio policies page.
All-Inclusive Color
Custom color shouldn’t come with a guessing game. I’ve shifted to flat-rate sessions so you can focus on your new look, rather than watching the clock or worrying about the total at the end. Whether we’re spending five hours on a vivid gemstone transformation or a shorter session for a balayage service, the price is all-inclusive. This covers everything: the Signature Ritual, your custom haircut, and the final style. By removing those surprise add-on fees, we keep the vibe low-pressure and the focus exactly where it belongs—on you. You can see how my sessions are structured on my studio policies page.
