Cari, an inclusive hair stylist and owner of The Crescent Salon in San Antonio

Hello! I am Cari (they/them/theirs) and I’d like to welcome you to my private, sensory-friendly hair salon in Northeast San Antonio. Now located at 2727 Nacogdoches Rd Ste 3, San Antonio, TX 78217, my studio is a dedicated retreat for those who value a quiet, affirming, and one-on-one environment. Whether you are coming from Oakwell Farms, Alamo Heights, or the Uptown area, you’ll find a grounded space designed to prioritize your comfort and hair goals without the noise of a traditional salon.

I specialize in expert haircuts and color services tailored to your individual needs. Situated near MacArthur Park in the 78217 zip code, the studio offers easy access and a private atmosphere where your sensory needs are always the top priority.

Private, sensory-friendly hair sanctuary. Quiet, 1-on-1 appointments for everyone.

Going to the salon shouldn’t feel chaotic or overwhelming. When you step into my space, you can expect exceptional artistry met with a gentle, spa-like approach. Whether you are coming in for a transformation cut, a color session, or a gender-affirming styling lesson, my goal is to help you leave feeling regulated, renewed, and entirely yourself.

Your experience starts before you even step through the door. You can view my schedule and book your session at any time.

  • Want to Add a Little Extra? I offer curated add-ons (like Brow Tints, Brow Waxes, or Facial Waxing) for $25 each. Just list your desired add-ons in the “Appointment Notes” section during checkout.

From the moment you walk in, the outside world fades away.

  • The Vibe: Soft, natural daylight fills the space by day, while a warm Himalayan salt lamp and a single, dimmed fluorescent light keep things low-key and easy on the eyes in the evening.

  • The Audio & Screen Setup: Soft white noise runs in the background to mask outside sound, while classic ’90s TV plays silently with subtitles—giving you something familiar to watch without the harsh glare or blaring audio.

The Crescent Salon is located at 2727 Nacogdoches Rd, Suite #3, inside the Advanced Cosmetics building. We are right near Dutch Bros and Planet Fitness.

You can park in either the front or the back parking lot. Look for the spaces specifically marked “Advanced Cosmetics.

For your safety, the exterior doors are locked 24/7. We use a call system to let guests in.

  • Call Box: When you reach the front door, locate the keypad.

  • Code: Press Call, then #6.

  • Buzz: I will answer and “buzz” you in. You will hear a click or a tone.

  • Door: Once I buzz you, the door will remain unlocked for 10 seconds. Simply push the door open and come inside.

The Crescent Salon offers such a great atmosphere for neurodivergent folks! Cari sent perfect instructions on where to park and even included photos. I received the exact cut I asked for AND they left the length so it's perfect. Great experience! They booked my next appt before I left (very helpful!) I'm really looking forward to my next visit!!!

Cari was so nice and patient when trying to understand how I wanted my hair cut. They did such a beautiful job and I already have my next hair appointment booked! Such a welcoming environment for lgbtq+ too :)

Loved my experience. Cari created an amazing relaxing experience for me and i was going through a traumatic time. I am on a tight budget as a single parent, and I definitely got more than my money’s worth. I love my hair so much. I leave there feeling more confident and more relaxed than ever EVERY TIME.

Cari was amazing. The room's vibe was so relaxing and I was immediately at ease. Classic TV was playing which warms my heart. The nervous system reset was just what my whole body needed. And I'm pretty sure I fell asleep during that part. After that, they even offered a stuffy for me to hug while I was getting blow dryed & styled. It was a little pricey, but worth every penny.
