The pair chats with PAPER about making Fruits Hair Lab a safe space for all.
, prides itself on being a safe space, built on the spirit of inclusivity as much as it is on preaching “the neon gospel,” as Williams tells. And in a state like Tennessee, where the idea of “gospel” can be a polarizing and triggering force for many communities, the work this duo has done holds special weight.
HW: That was the real beginning of our partnership. My Grandat, to this day, says that’s his favorite of all my hairdos.— it’s changed my life and relationships. Just by me doing Hayley’s hair, I have found the closest form to a sibling that I have ever known in my life. BO: Growing up in a very small town, my God, from the time I was in fourth-grade gym, I either got called a faggot, a girl or some sort of name on a daily basis. At the time, I thought that was a negative thing because I just had no other resources to say, there's nothing wrong with femininity in someone who identifies as a man. Now, my femininity is the one thing that I hope I never lose — I want to keep my soft edges, because there are a lot of sharp ones that I'm hiding with it.
Well, you're using that now to build something bigger than whatever you could have gotten in high school. Hayley, how has your hair journey, for lack of a less-cheesy term, played a role in your life — not only career-wise but in terms of personal growth? It’s a place to escape feeling “othered,” and find chosen family. Which I am sure is difficult for anyone who breaks the binary in the South.
