Hairstory's We Sharpton — hairdresser and self-described storyteller — shares the unexpected, winding path that brought her into the beauty industry, from eyeing model scouts at a mall in the nineties to finding her place behind the chair. She reflects on the deeply human dimension of the salon experience: how a client's hair journey intersects with identity, emotion, and self-image. We's core message is one of authenticity — that the most successful hairdressers, and the most satisfied clients, are those who lean into who they truly are rather than chasing an external ideal.
