Thanks to Philomena and Matt Filsell who let me spend an afternoon sketching in their hair salon at the top of Park Street. It was a real challenge and I’d like to go back. Drawing in a place that’s all about image is interesting to begin with. And hairdressers move, they go round and round their clients at a faster rate than you’d think. Then there’s so much going on in a room full of mirrors.
Thanks to Liz, Rachel, Phoebe and Aimee for letting me draw you at work. And it’s a lovely friendly place with a zen-like skylight over the washbasins and a more extensive drinks menu than you’d imagine!
