We are thrilled to announce our new Operations Manager, Navid Nickpour!

Navid brings nearly two decades of leadership and community engagement to her role as Operations Manager at Uncommon Threads. As the former owner of Salon Navid in Andover, she saw firsthand how feeling confident and cared for can influence a woman’s sense of possibility. Alongside running her business, she partnered with local nonprofits to support women and families throughout the Merrimack Valley.

She holds a Master of Public Health from Brown University and has experience in nonprofit program development and expanding access to nutritious food. As an immigrant and first-generation college graduate, Navid brings a personal understanding of navigating barriers and building new beginnings. Her work is guided by a belief that every woman deserves dignity, opportunity, and a community that believes in her.

College is about so much more than going to class. It’s meeting new people, making friends, trying new things, and figuring out who you are along the way.

We know that feeling good in what you wear can give you that extra boost of confidence to walk into a classroom, join a group of new friends, or show up at a gathering feeling like you belong.

That’s what styling is really about. It’s not just the clothes. It’s how you feel when you put them on and step out into the world. ✨

We’re so happy to help this beautiful college student find her style and a little extra confidence for all the moments that make college life special!

This is what Uncommon Threads is all about: helping women feel good about themselves as they work toward their goals and build their futures.

We’re cheering you on, Barbara! 💙

Meet Karen!

She came in looking for work clothes as she begins a new chapter in a banking training program—and left with a wardrobe she absolutely loved! 🎉

Karen was such a pleasure to work with, and her excitement and appreciation for every outfit was contagious. There’s nothing quite like finding clothes that make you feel confident, polished, and ready to take on what’s next.

Wishing Karen so much success in her new adventure! ✨

Some days at Uncommon Threads are a little bittersweet. ❤️

Today we gathered to celebrate three incredible members of our team who are moving on to their next chapters—and to celebrate a birthday, too! 🎉🎂

These women have each brought their own talents, energy, heart, and passion to Uncommon Threads, and we are so grateful for the time they’ve spent with us and the difference they’ve made in the lives of the women we serve.

We may be saying goodbye, but the impact they have made will stay with us. Wishing each of you so much happiness and success in whatever comes next—and a very happy birthday to our birthday girl Amy!

Once part of the Uncommon Threads family, always part of the Uncommon Threads family. 💕

Malene, Meg and Amy-we will miss you!
