London hairdresser Charlotte Mensah has always been clear that hair is not simply about well, hair. It’s about identity, self-expression, heritage, community and good conversation — ideas that have run very consistently through her remarkable career and helped make her one of Britain’s most influential and loved hairstylists.
Now, four decades after entering the industry, Mensah is celebrating a remarkable set of milestones. From September 8-13, her exhibition Charlotte Mensah: Community Matters will take over Ladbroke Hall in Notting Hill, marking 40 years in hairdressing, 25 years of her iconic Portobello Road salon, Hair Lounge, and a decade of her multi-award-winning Manketti Oil Range.
