Kascidy Badon is a cutting specialist and educator in Austin, Texas, working out of Strangebird Salon—where the vibe is simple pricing, no gendered upcharges, and haircuts designed to fit real life. A third-generation hairstylist from Louisiana, she moved to Austin in 2017 looking for a healthier environment to support her sobriety journey—and that reset ultimately pulled her deeper into hair as both craft and calling.

Her signature lane lives where structure meets soul: strong fundamentals (mapping, sectioning, and intention) paired with movement, texture, and “lived-in” edge. She calls this approach Intuitive Precision—using clean foundations to create haircuts that feel effortless, grow out well, and don’t demand a complicated at-home routine. While she’s known for shags and mullets, she’s just as committed to classic shapes—because the coolest haircut in the room still needs a backbone.

For pros, Kascidy offers education that’s tailored instead of templated: one-on-ones (in person or on Zoom), two-on-one sessions, and group look-and-learns—with options to learn in shears, feather razor, or straight razor. If you want fundamentals you can trust and texture that feels like you, she’s an easy yes.
