GoodDYEyoung launched just over 2 years ago, upon Parahoy 2016 landing back in port. To top it all off, every person who sat in your chair was from all over the place, with a different story, and so happy to be there in that moment- which was amazing in itself.” Cara I was completely out of my element at some point (Some of you might know, I was not a braider until now!), but ended up having so much fun doing styles I never thought I would do. The fact this little salon of ten people from Buffalo, New York got asked to work and be a part of the GDY team is truly unreal. “ Bonnaroo was such a whirlwind of emotions that are hard to put into words. I feel like guests felt very comfortable with us, and being able to make them happy was the best part.” Marissa Everyone was genuinely happy to get to know each other and make a new friend. Even though nobody at Bonaroo knew each other, being able to connect with them felt effortless. “ Being able to come in and have conversations with complete strangers and find different way to relate to them was really cool. I’m filled with gratitude to have been part of something so bright, bold, and beautifully obnoxious.” Katie We would do people’s hair- anything from a simple French braid to something more complex, and almost everyone brightened up when they saw the final results. The one thing I took from Bonnaroo is that any person has the ability to touch a person’s day just by being kind and listening and looking out for one another. ) They would sit in our chair and tell us to do whatever we wanted- and most of the time, it isn’t like that in the “every day”. It’s hard to bring festival-styling back into everyday life because at ‘roo, everyone was so. I met so many people and heard about them, and what they do, and why they’re at Bonnaroo. “ It was my first time being considered a stylist since graduating school, so I was nervous as all hell going into Bonnaroo. I was humbled to see how many people wanted us to create something beautiful for them!” Karen “ I was happy to help create a colorful, positive & accepting experience at Bonnaroo. Some of our team felt the urge to write a little somethin extra about our experience… Nashville + its surrounding areas are inspiring, charming, and great to explore with a group. We did some small business shopping (a must), drank all the coffee, had hot chicken and hot “chicken”, visited Broadway, the Ryman, had dinner with old friends, and stopped by the GDY office. Most of the crew had never been to Nashville, so those of us who’ve previously spent time there showed the others around. We left for TN the night of June 10th, spending some time in Nashville before heading to Manchester. We prepped for a crown first: closing up shop for over a week while all ten of us took a long road trip. Going into this event, there was a ton of communication on both ends, trying to think of any situation we may encounter. We were going to launch a pop-up salon at a music festival campground in the Tennessee summer! In the past, we’ve had the chance to style contest winners on Parahoy, do live demos at Art + Friends, as well as do some videos for GDY- but this was something totally different. Watching their baby company grow into such a community has been truly inspiring. We’re extremely lucky to have worked hand in hand with GDY since their inception.
We were honored when GDY approached us with the opportunity to be part of their first true salon experience.
Our neighbors in the plaza included reiki and massage practicioners, tarot readings, panels on surviving trauma by Midnight Woman + L’Odet, education about CBD, strength training, and guided meditations to name a few. The SOSL (as we will refer to going forth) was an area for the introvert at the music festival focused on mental health and self care. What is the Sanctuary of Self Love, you ask? Last year, Bonnaroo asked GDY founder Hayley Williams to curate this plaza.
