Every other weekend. The smell of relaxer and hot combs. The sound of women talking freely. The weight of someone's hands in your hair like a kind of love.
Hair Shop is an ode to the Black Southern hair salon — a space that was never just about hair. It was where little girls learned who they were by watching grown women be themselves. Where beauty was practiced and community was built and identity was shaped, one Saturday at a time.
Bold, pattern-rich, and unmistakably Southern. This painting holds that memory in full.
Acrylic on canvas, 2023. 52.5 x 56.5 inches. Sold rolled — buyer is responsible for local stretching and framing. One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.
