For many, 2016 marked an introduction to Shani Crowe, the hair extraordinaire that gifted us with her breathtaking photography project “BRAIDS.” Fast forward a few months and the artist also extended her magic touch to Solange’s coif for the Saturday Night Live stage.

We’re still not over that epic braided crown, but 2017 is already off to a fierce start for the hair artist. This past weekend, the Chicago native collaborated with Saint Heron for a live art experience of her BRAIDS show and let’s just say the results were beyond fierce.

We anxiously await Shani Crowe’s next feat. Until then, see more photos from the intimate event below!
