Beauty Shop

We are always on the lookout for creative individuals in our city to showcase their talents. This week we are bringing Beauty Shop Fort Worth, formerly known as CUT. The owner, Anthony Reale, has been the salon owner for 10 years but been in the business for 18+ years. They recently rebranded their salon and moved to a more spacious location. The new location will allow them to host events throughout the year such as live music for locals to enjoy. We loved the uniqueness of the space and how they have made it their own. All of the wood fixtures were hand made by the owner from recycled materials even down to the bolts and nails. One of our favorite areas of the salon was the hair washing station. That area will eventually be painted all gold, even the decorations around it. As you walk throughout the salon, we encourage you to get a close look at all the awesome art they have throughout the place from local artist. 

Every hair salon has their unique approach to hair. Beauty shop works with all types of men and women hair. In their own words Rachel Ellis, a stylist at the salon said, “Beauty Shop is a Dallas Fort Worth hair salon that is home to a group of artistic Fort Worth stylists who cut, color, and style women and men’s hair in a space where artistic integrity, punk ideals, and urban design collide for an experience unlike any other”. From what we saw the day we went, we fully agree with that statement. So, ladies and gents, next time you are looking for a place to cut, color or style your hair, keep Beauty Shop Fort Worth in mind!

Alice Smeets, Haiti Tarot.

Alice Smeets’s series of photographs recreating Tarot cards is perhaps one of the best series of photographic works I have ever seen.

With the help of the Haitian Artist Corps, Atis Rezistans, Alice recreated the entire Rider Waite Tarot Deck, an early 20th century version of the mysterious cards that have long been used to tell ones fortunes.  The subject in each of her photographs are Haitian artists and their artwork is used as decoration or backdrops, resulting in a very deeply personal portrait while still portraying the original tarot cards.

Alice entitled this series of photographs “Ghetto Tarot” and explains that the term “Ghetto” was embraced by the Atis Rezistans: 

“Ghetto [is used to] free themselves of its depreciating undertone and turn it into something beautiful. This undertaking of the Haitians made me realize that it lies only within us to assign value or judgment towards a tangible or intangible thing, which creates a positive or negative emotion. If we realize that its a choice whether we look at destruction and see despair or to regard it as the start of something new, we can change the meaning of every word, action and sentiment.”
