Shaheem Anderson is a Chicago native, growing up in the city’s northern suburbs. At the time of this 2020 conversation they had been modeling professionally for over three years, and have been featured in a number of Kaizen collections and campaigns. Shaheem, who worked the front desk at our home base, Reverie Salon, in River North, now lives in New York City, where they model.
For our segment on WWHT In the Cloud we were asked to put together a video presenting our take on the theme, Regeneration. We decided that it was more important to have a conversation regarding what needs regenerated in our industry as a whole.
Listen to Sal and Shaheem’s full conversation discussing the stigma around textured hair in the fashion and beauty industries, the trusted bond between a hairdresser and client, and their own personal experiences that shaped their current relationships in the business of hair and education.
