Sunny Bunny Values: Why We Speak Up

Living in the Boston area, it’s easy to believe most folks share the same values of equality, compassion, and basic human rights. But recently, I had a moment that shook me.

I watched our industry rally behind someone who represented everything I don’t. For the first time, I saw many of my peers speak up publicly—but not against violence, not for protecting lives. Instead, they called him “a man of Christ.”

As a recovering Catholic who was confirmed, this felt deeply unsettling. I was taught that Jesus judged no one. He helped the poor, befriended sex workers and lepers—people shunned by the mainstream. To use his name to defend someone whose actions stand for the opposite? That, to me, is blasphemous.

And I see it often—people quoting scriptures from the Bible to fit their narrative. A book of stories being twisted to justify bigotry, misogyny, and hatred. That is not faith. That is fear.

Let me be clear: I believe guns should be banned. I will never condone acts of violence. But when children and civilians are being murdered daily, and the one time many in our industry choose to speak up is in support of a bigoted, misogynistic figure—it shook me to my core.

Behind that anger is fear. Fear for our safety. Fear for our rights. Fear for the kind of future we’re leaving behind.

That’s why at Sunny Bunny, I refuse to stay silent. Our culture is built around values that matter:

🌈 Equal rights for EVERYONE

✊ Racial justice + equity

💛 Bodily autonomy

🛑 Gun control + safer communities

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights

We believe in building a salon that feels safe, inclusive, and aligned with compassion—not fear, hate, or exclusion.

If these values resonate with you, welcome—you’re in the right place. ✂️☀️🐇If they don’t, that’s okay too. There are plenty of other salons with stylists that may feel like home to you. (In fact, I discovered quite a few this week.)

But here at Sunny Bunny, our doors—and our hearts—are open to those who believe in kindness, equality, and community. Always.
