Meet Drue //

With experience as a salon owner for fifteen years and as a color educator for more than ten years, Drue created the salon to merge his passions of advanced color technique and personalized cutting free of gender, while building a diverse and equitable salon culture. Drue excels in advanced blonding techniques and LIVES for a gorgeous balayage. He believes in creating shape through defined lines with soft interior texture that grants movement and versatility.

Outside of the salon, Drue finished his Masters degree in Architecture at Kendall College of Art and Design. His research and design practices are rooted in creating equitable and community-focused spaces. Drue is an avid activist within the community, volunteering and speaking at events that promote growth, healing, and visibility for marginalized communities in West Michigan. During his time at Kendall, he served on the Committee of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging, as well as the President’s Equity Council. Over the last three years, Drue has co-chaired the planning of OutFront Kalamazoo’s Pride festival and currently serves on the Board of Directors for OutFront Kalamazoo. He also enjoys visiting museums, painting, photography, and travel.
