The Story of Makeshift Union

Born from humble beginnings, Makeshift Union was founded by “Buffalo” Larry Reha and his group of passionate craftsmen and women who honed their skills in a combination of elite academies as well as the streets and neighborhoods they call home. These are individuals who understand the value of hard work and the importance of community. They believe that everyone deserves to feel their best, regardless of their background or status.

With these values at its core, Makeshift Union has emerged as a beacon of what they have called “Rough Luxury”. Step inside, and you’re greeted not by pretentiousness, but by warmth and authenticity. The space exudes a sense of belonging, where clients are not just patrons, but members of a family.

At Makeshift Union, the satisfaction of customers reigns supreme. Each stylist is not only skilled with shears and color brushes, but with empathy and understanding. They take the time to listen, to truly understand the individual sitting in their chair, and to craft a style that reflects not just trends, but personality and lifestyle.

Rejecting the culture of the egotistical hairstylist, Makeshift Union celebrates collaboration over competition. It’s not about one stylist outshining the rest, but about a team coming together to elevate each other and, most importantly, to uplift every client who walks through the door.

From the moment you enter Makeshift Union, you’re enveloped in an experience that transcends the ordinary. It’s more than just a haircut or highlight; it’s a moment of connection, of self-care, and of celebration. Because at Makeshift Union, luxury isn’t just about what’s on the surface – it’s about the values that run deep within its foundation.
