Friends, family and the police are looking for a Denver hairstylist, who was last seen roughly two weeks ago.

The stylist, Jax Gratton, 34, was last seen at about 10 p.m. on April 15 in the 4200 block of East Iliff Avenue, according to a news release from the Denver Police Department.

Gratton, a local hairstylist, is 5-foot-eight and has blue eyes. Gratton is a transgender woman. Gratton’s hair was dyed red at the time the hairstylist went missing. Gratton’s natural hair color is a dark, dirty blond color, according to Gratton’s mother, Cherilynne Gratton-Camis.

“It’s just so strange that she hasn’t called anybody,” Gratton-Camis told The Denver Gazette Tuesday afternoon. “I know everybody says that, but Jax is different. Jax has so many people to call and has called them in the past.”

Gratton always kept in close and frequent contact with her, Gratton-Camis said. But, after the hairstylist moved to a new place in February, Gratton began to call less often, saying life had been very busy.

Gratton, who regularly attends Catholic mass, did not give Gratton-Camis a call on Easter Sunday. At the point, Gratton-Camis knew something was wrong, she said.

“It’s heartbreaking,” Gratton-Camis said. “I just want her back alive.”

One thing that is particularly worrisome about Gratton’s disappearance is the fact that the stylist’s cat, Madame Francesca, was left behind, Gratton-Camis said.

“The two things that are most important to Jax are her camera and her kitty,” Gratton-Camis said.

Growing up in the Denver area, Gratton attended and worked at Rainbow Alley — a center for LGBTQ+ youth run by The Center on Colfax, according to the organization’s website. It was there where Gratton met and became friends with Tynk Insy.

“I’ve known Jax for a very long time and she would not, in my opinion, just up and disappear,” Insy said. “She left so many things behind, it’s not like her at all.”

After working at Rainbow Alley, Gratton created an alumni network for the center, a group of people Insy describes as a “college-like” network that would help out any of its members if they needed something. Right now, Insy added, the group is focused on finding Gratton.

“Jax’s best friend lives out of state, and as the alumni group we’ve been checking in on her and we’ve been checking in on Jax’s mom,” Insy said. “Just this weekend, some of us got together at Washington Park and posted flyers around the whole inside and outside of the park and talked to hundreds of people just to raise awareness.”

After initially contacting police, Gratton-Camis reached out to Search Light Colorado — a nonprofit organization that helps raise awareness about missing persons, according to the organization’s Facebook page — which then began printing posters of Gratton and collecting tips about the disappearance.

Gratton-Camis also created a public Facebook group dedicated to collecting information about Gratton’s potential whereabouts.

Additionally, The Center on Colfax and Denver Pride also both posted on Facebook about Gratton’s disappearance.

Anyone with information about Gratton’s potential whereabouts are asked to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or at www.metrodenvercrimestoppers.com.
