All about Ricky

Ricky has been a professional hairstylist since 2008 (15 years). Inspired by the punk and grundge scene in his youth, he started playing with altering his own and his friend's hair, eventually getting talented at creating alternative hairstyles that evoked the essence of "cool."

Ricky is not only a hairdresser, but an all around artist. Not only within the realm of hair, but also drawing/painting, sculpture, and music! When it comes to the shape and color of hair, he has an affinity for creating a beautiful and thought out composition that is sure to compliment each individual, based on their own preferences and personalities. Formally trained in the vidal sassoon style of hairdressing, he can execute cutting edge modern styles as well as classic percision shapes. 

Raised in Texas, he is now a long term fishtown resident with his kitty named "Figgy". 

When not in the salon, you can find him playing music with his band "The Maybe Nots" or nerding out playing Dungeons and Dragons and watching cartoons. The phrase "never grow up" definitely would be apt to describe Ricky Chan. 

Reviews for Ricky

  • "I have been going to Cult (formerly Danger Salon) for many years. Ricky is AMAZING. As someone who is nonbinary, getting a haircut is really important to my gender presentation. Ricky listens to what you want and is incredibly skilled and talented at both cuts and color, especially for short-hair and/or non-binary/trans folks. Plus he is extremely sweet. I recommend him to all my friends."

  • "Was recommended by a friend who had some really great color work done. I just needed a trim. Was told Ricky was the guy to see. Great suggestion. Ricky gave me the best haircut ive had in years. The salon is delightfully shabby but the staff is just plain delightful. 5 stars. Highly recommend."

  • "Rickey did my hair, all of 2020 its looked awful and damaged, i went in not really SURE what I wanted but he helped me figure that out, i walked out an hour later and this is probably the happiest ive ever been with a haircut. they were super safe and sanitary, the atmosphere is fun, 100% will be recommending this place to all my friends"
