Licensed barber Seven Nelson has opened SevensCutAbove at the Salon and Spa Galleria Fort Worth Highway in Weatherford, Texas, offering a range of barber services including sensory-safe haircuts for clients with special needs or haircut trauma. The new shop began accepting appointments on June 8, 2026.
Nelson, a graduate of Weatherford College's Barber Program, has two years of industry experience. Raised by a hairstylist mother, he learned the trade by watching her work. "I have a lot of passion for what I'm doing," Nelson said. "I take my time with each client, to make certain that I execute the image they had in mind, along with providing laidback, chill vibes. It's important to me that every client leaves feeling confident again."
SevensCutAbove specializes in sharp, detailed cuts, including fades, low drops, tapers, hot-lather shaves, and beard shape-ups. A key differentiator is Nelson's focus on sensory-safe cuts, designed for individuals with sensory issues due to special needs or past trauma. To accommodate these clients, Nelson creates a soothing environment with softer lighting, quieter spaces, and flexible pacing, including breaks. If hair clippers cause distress, he uses scissors. "As a sensory-safe barber, I've learned how to work with kids on the spectrum," Nelson said. "My goal is to create trust, not trauma."
Additional services include quick line-ups, beard shape-ups, hot-lather partial or full-face shaves, and simple cornrows. SevensCutAbove is accepting new clients by appointment only through Nelson's booking site.
To celebrate the grand opening, Nelson is offering new clients a five-dollar discount on the third haircut and a 10-dollar discount on the sixth cut. The shop is located at the Salon and Spa Galleria Fort Worth Highway, easily accessible from major roadways, serving Weatherford, Hudson Oaks, Willow Park, Brock, Aledo, Walsh Ranch, and Mineral Wells. The location offers free parking and is handicap accessible with wide hallways.
Salon and Spa Galleria, which provides salon suites for independent beauty and wellness professionals, operates 23 locations across the United States. For information about leasing space at the Fort Worth Highway location, visit the Salon and Spa Galleria website.
