Part social club and salon, part art gallery and intimate listening room, raconteur stylist Micah Nickens’ new Gaudet Bros. is poised to become a hub of community and creativity in the heart of the Garden District this spring. And there’s a lounge for shaves and a wet bar, too.
With a modular space designed by architect Clarke Gernon—even the cutting stations can be moved and combined into an industrial sculpture—Nickens’ salon will soon host quarterly art shows while booking music and fashion events and pop-up restaurants in between.
“Baton Rouge is an open slate that is still growing,” Nickens says. “I like that more creative people are collaborating, and I want to help make those connections. Why go be a part of something somewhere else?”
