Charlotte Mensah: At Carnival, hair is part of the rhythm & joy of the day
My favourite thing about Carnival? The colours, the designs, the hair, the makeup – all of it comes together to create the magic you see on the streets. It is vibrant, joyful, and alive. But for me, my favourite thing is my corner – the salon [Hair Lounge]. Every year, we open the doors wide. There are always a few bottles of prosecco to share with our nearest and dearest. You would be surprised at how many people stop by – clients from ten years ago, clients we met only days ago, old friends, and older family members. Carnival is about togetherness, and there is no better place to be together than in the place I call home.
