Meet Yvey and step into YVEY Salon, where high-end salon services and a vibrant barbershop converge in a trendy, minimalist space. This innovative concept, curated by Yvey, embraces a gender-neutral approach to aesthetics. With a solid foundation established at Gene Juarez's flagship salon in Downtown Seattle, Yvey honed his cutting techniques, developed a vision for serving diverse clientele, and cultivated his leadership acumen. To further elevate his craft, Yvey sought training and participated in fashion events at esteemed beauty institutions around the world, gaining invaluable insights into cultural perspectives on hair and self-image.

Yvey's commitment to community-building shines through his passion for volunteering. His transformative experiences supporting cancer patients for three years at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance deeply impacted his philosophy and emotional intelligence. These intimate encounters, marked by vulnerable moments, hugs, and tears, strengthened Yvey's approach to the emotional aspect of cutting hair. Guided by empathy and a human-centered approach, Yvey aspires to create an inclusive space where everyone can look and feel their best.

Yvey stopped by The Day With Trae to discuss the Evolution Fashion and Beauty Show taking place on Saturday, June 15. What sets the Evolution Fashion and Beauty Show apart is its emphasis on inclusivity and diversity. By taking a gender-neutral direction in its aesthetics, the show aims to create a refreshing twist that combines the elements of a salon and a barbershop. The event hopes to cater to a wide range of individuals through this approach, transcending the traditional boundaries of fashion and beauty.
