Hi, I'm Trudie.

I've always been fascinated by the way something as simple as having your hair played with can instantly make your whole body relax.

For many of us, our earliest memories of comfort came through gentle touch. A parent softly playing with our hair, tracing circles on our back, or helping us drift off to sleep. Those quiet moments made us feel safe, cared for, and completely at ease.

I started to notice a pattern. The simplest moments often brought the greatest sense of calm. Whether it was the gentle brushing during a haircut, someone I loved playing with my hair while we watched a movie, or the comforting touch of a parent when I was young, I always found myself wishing those moments lasted just a little longer.

Then I realized I wasn't the only one wishing they lasted longer.

That's why I created HairPlay. A space where those fleeting moments become the entire experience.

In a world where we're always rushing, meaningful human touch has become surprisingly rare. HairPlay is a place where you can slow down, disconnect from the constant noise of everyday life, and simply receive care through gentle scalp touch and intentional hair play. There is nothing to do, nothing to accomplish, and nowhere else to be.

Whether you're looking to unwind after a long week, take a break from the demands of everyday life, or simply experience something different, I'd be honored to welcome you to my private studio in the heart of Downtown Long Beach.

I can't wait to welcome you to HairPlayLB.
