Tess Hair Salon

Description

I captured scenes from local hair salons in Toronto. Hair salons are pillars of culture, hubs of social interaction, and spaces of empowerment in Afro-Indigenous communities. In an era where mega-corporations and beauty franchises dominate the market, these smaller, community-based salons provide a vital link to history, identity, and collective memory. They offer an irreplaceable sense of belonging, and I believe their existence is crucial for preserving cultural traditions.
