Radio Pitch

I’d like to interview a couple friends and family members about hair. It was my initial idea for the photo essay but since it was more difficult to capture before and after photos I thought it’d be more interesting to talk about the process. I have more than a handful of friends and family members who have dyed and cut their own hair, including myself. I want to know if isolation built their confidence or the courage to do something like that. Not to mention there have been numerous edgy hairstyles trending on TikTok, to name a few, there’s the big money piece in the front, the 2000s inspired highlights and bold bright colors. I now wonder how it affects local hair salons with so many people wanting to do those things on their own. I also wonder if prior to COVID did they go to hair salons. Do they feel like they’ve learned a lot about hair? And are they proud of their work? I’m curious to know other people’s experiences.
