Beacon Beauty Shop

Becci Davis had her first appointment in a beauty shop when she was ten years old.

 

Since then, she has been a patron in numerous beauty salons and found that elements of Black salon culture are widespread.

That alone is something beautiful.

 

These institutions are beacons of Black culture and the setting to countless intimate interactions between stylist and client. 

This interactive installation examines beauty shop culture through performance.
