Styling with Heart: A Sensory-Safe Stylist in Lake Charles

Tracy Badgett-Young’s journey as a stylist started 19 years ago and has been defined by transformation—not just in hair but in how she serves the diverse needs of the SWLA community.  As the proud owner of Revive Salon Studios, she’s learned that true beauty lies in empowering industry professionals to run their own businesses and paying close attention to clients on the spectrum or those who may have sensory issues when it comes to salon services.   

Over the years, Badgett-Young noticed a growing need among her clients, especially among those who are neurodivergent, for a salon experience tailored to their sensory sensitivities. Motivated to make a difference, she became a Certified Sensory Safe Stylist—one of only three in Louisiana. The certification deepened her awareness and equipped her with specialized techniques to create a welcoming, calming environment for all. 

One of her proudest innovations is Quiet Sundays, a dedicated day each month for adults and children with sensory needs. Her salon chair transforms into a gentle space. Sensory toys, minimal chatter, dim lights and no loud music allows each client to enjoy self-care without stress, distractions or being overwhelmed.  

Badgett-Young’s mission is simple: to ensure everyone feels seen, heard and truly comfortable in her chair—because every client deserves an experience as unique as they are.
