Did We Miss Something?
Do you have a situation that you assume we cannot accommodate? If you have the skills and track record of extreme customer satisfaction we will go to great lengths to accommodate a myriad of situations and requirements. And, if you rent a chair now, do you assume being an employee is less freeing and profitable than being an independent contractor? We’d love to have you talk with stylists who made the switch to being employees and have them substantiate why they would never go back to renting a chair.
About Us
Twig has a family vibe, a really great group of talented stylists, the stability of an over 10-year institution, and a renewed 10-year lease with expanding opportunities for both junior stylists building a following and stylists operating at near their peak who just want a better work/life balance, better benefits, and more income for the same or less effort and stress. That’s a tall order, but we can back it up.
Twig Hair Salon is the newest addition to the distinct Goldie x Bob Hair Salon and BarberX Barbershop brands. For inspiration, the entire stylist team is traveled to Barcelona, Spain in 2024.
Just one year after being acquired, Goldie x Bob was nominated by 303 Magazine as “Denver’s Best Hair Salon” and twice as “Colorado’s Best Hair Stylist.” In 2024, 303 Magazine went further and awarded a trifecta of Colorado awards to three of our stylists for Best Hair Stylist, Best Colorist, and Best Extensionist.
For inspiration in 2020, all Goldie x Bob stylists received an employer-subsidized week’s trip to Paris Fashion Week and went to Milan fall 2022. In the fall of 2024 the team went to Tokyo. For 2026, the team is looking at Latin America.
BarberX was featured on a live segment of Fox31’s Morning News program and is one of the very few barbershops in the country that sends its barbers to the Netherlands for advanced training.
Join us at Twig where we expect even greater experiences ahead for everyone.
