 Hair Salons have a long tradition of word play and visual puns, revealing a self-deprecating humour that is quintessentially British. Now one artist has made it her mission to immortalise the great British Hair Salon with the launch of a new book, ‘Kurl Up ‘N’ Dye’. The 101 images contained in the book are the culmination of the six years Inés Rae has spent scouring the back streets of Great Britain, in search of hair salons with signs that tell a story or playfully provide a glimpse of the culture that lies behind them. Judy Merry went with her to meet some of the women behind the hair humour.
Kurl Up n Dye by Ines Rae is published by Wild Pansy Press ISBN: 1900687232, £14.95ArtdataDisclaimer
