The 25-year-old, who is a transgender man, was still a teenager and just starting to transition when he asked a hairstylist to cut his then-long hair into a Winona Ryder-inspired pixie cut. “The stylist said, ‘Oh, you actually have the completely wrong hair type for this cut,’” Anderson recalled. “She cut off the tiniest, tiniest bit of hair and puffed and curled my hair as much as possible to give it this majorly feminized volume. It was just this bizarre goldilocks look on me and it was the worst.” Reactions like that prompt- ed Anderson to start Big Bro’s Barbershop, a queer and transgender business run out of a nondescript warehouse on an industrial road in East Vancouver.
