Abra Bo Unisex Salon is not far from the well-known Akwantuo Junction. The street leading to the salon, which caters to a comfortably above-middle-class clientele, is often bustling with daily activities—yet it feels strangely lonely when walking there to get a haircut.
Men occasionally get trims to look presentable, but women—why do we?
Salon conversations often revolve around how unhealthy hair needs a complete cut and treatment to grow back stronger. But tell me, why do women walk into a salon with a full head of hair and chop it all off, beyond the aesthetic appeal they seek? What deeper reasons drive this choice?
- Abrabo (Akan) – Life or way of life, often referring to daily living, lifestyle, or existence.
- Akwantuo (Akan) – Journey or travel, symbolizing movement, transition, or a path one takes in life.
