What happens when a haircut becomes more than just grooming? Trina Brackens, the dynamic owner of VIP Specialty Haircuts at Florence Mall, has transformed the mundane task of getting a trim into a therapeutic experience that nourishes both body and spirit.

From the moment you settle into her chair, you're treated to what Trina calls "the experience" – a multi-sensory journey beginning with a charcoal-infused peppermint hot towel facial wrap, followed by aromatherapy, pressure point massages targeting the temporal, zygomatic, and mandibular regions, and hot stones on your neck and shoulders. All this happens before scissors even touch your hair. It's no wonder doctors, executives, and even celebrities seek out her services not just for grooming, but for genuine stress relief.

Trina's path to becoming a master of her craft began at just nine years old when she rescued her brother from a botched home haircut that left him with an accidental "reverse mohawk." When her father witnessed her natural talent, he handed over his clippers and proclaimed, "you do the haircuts from now on." Three decades later, Trina has built a business that offers more than haircuts – she provides sanctuary. The VIP in her salon name stands for "Victorious, Inspired People," reflecting her mission to leave clients feeling renewed inside and out.

Beyond her business, Trina's heart for service extends to at-risk youth through her nonprofit, Victorious Ministries. Started during the pandemic, the program offers individualized mentoring, challenges, and support for young people struggling with depression and difficult circumstances. "I'm here on assignment," she says simply, seeing her work as both vocation and mission.
