hair

You're fifteen. You spend your time at school and at Val's hair salon with Baker, Val's son, who has eyes that are like falling off a cliff into space. The salon is a space of safety, but also of possibility and dreams. When you dream, you visit an enchanted forest full of friends and wonder. You dream of witches and magic, of hair so rich and alive that it grow upwards and outwards into a wild landscape, becomes trees and leaves, and houses birds and butterflies and all the secret creatures that belong in such a forest. But when you wake, your memories vanish, and you are just you, trying to navigate relationships and learning who you will grow up to be. Is there a future where your dreams are more than just dreams?.

Salons and barbershops have long been a center of neighborhood activity. Hairstylists and barbers provide valuable services, helping clients look their best, which in turn helps them feel good about themselves.

From the familiarity of the neighborhood beauty shop to the glamour of the theater, this book explores the career opportunities open to hairstylists, and the training needed to get started.
