The Hair Game

Looking at Hair as a Fabric, Not a Race w/ @keyaartistically

Can we look at hair as a fabric, not a race?

This week is part 1 of a beautiful conversation with Keya Neal - industry activist, educator, and visionary for @thekolourkulture & @texturevsrace

We discuss her path towards a multi-cultural salon, and how her experience helps her education: breaking past the fear of working on someone who looks different than you.

This week's Topics:

  • Dropping out of college and finding beauty school
  • Learning the need to sacrifice time, energy, money to succeed
  • Running a salon for 10 years and building her brand, then closing it and moving to another state for a relationship
  • Getting back into hair after motherhood; choosing a multi-cultural salon to expand her experience and techniques
  • Her journey towards being an educator; developing her curriculum
  • Texture vs Race: educating how to break past the fear of working on someone who looks different than you
