Common Citizen is the luxury hair studio that sisters Cory and Taylor Bradley built together in downtown Charleston. Both grew up in Las Vegas and made their way to the Lowcountry between 2017 and 2022.
Taylor became a stylist in 2019 after cosmetology school, then moved south with the intention of bringing West Coast hair technique to South Carolina — hand-painted balayage, hand-tied extensions, the kind of color work that builds on multiple processes in a single sit. Cory pursued esthetics during the same window and brought the airbrush-tanning practice that became Tan Citizen, the sub-brand that lives inside the salon.
The salon's tagline came out of a conversation about what they were actually building: a common workspace for the uncommon stylist. Each stylist who works inside Common Citizen runs her own book, sets her own rates, brings her own specialties — under one shared roof and one shared brand. The Bradley sisters made the place. The stylists make it their own.
CHAPTER ONE · 2022 — 2025
The salon began in a historic home on Spring Street, in Cannonborough/Elliotborough. Common Citizen is now at 10 Exchange Street, Suite 303 — downtown, near the corner of Exchange and Broad — and the new home holds the same wood floors, the same oval mirrors, the same standard.
