We are joined by owners Brie Brooks and Carissa Clearwater along with stylist Leanne Rowe. Pageboy is quickly becoming a valuable meeting place for creatives throughout the city, including TRVST Collective, a group of artists, musicians, and craftsmen dedicated to honesty and freedom of expression. We talk face shapes, tattoo families, and public clapbacks. You were at my wedding, Denise! Photos by the talented Unity Mike Hendrickson.
