HAIRSTYLING AND CONVERSATION: REST AS RESISTANCE

Culturally familiar spaces, such as the salon, help Black women and girls heal by serving as trusted, safe places where they can discuss many mental health issues. The salon encourages positive social well-being without obstacles. These spaces act as important community centres that reduce barriers to participation, fostering open and honest conversations about sensitive topics like depression, PTSD, systemic racism, and identity.

On April 25th, 2026, The Salon Talk Series will host the third part of the Hairstyles and Conversations. The discussion will focus on “Rest as Resistance", encouraging Black women and girls, as well as the wider Black community, to rethink the Mental Health Conversation. This aims to help participants feel seen and supported while fostering stronger bonds with their Black families and communities.

We are pleased to partner with Hairbru, a Black-owned salon and beauty store. Together we are fostering conversation in community with community.
