In this Q&A with queer artist Robert Alvarez, we discuss the importance of identity and representation, the challenges of finding a sense of belonging in a rapidly changing city like Austin, and the power of art to inspire.

ABOUT
I started doing hair when I was 6 months sober out of fear of never going anywhere with my life, mainly because it seemed everyone else my age was doing something. I was given the amazing opportunity to assist under an amazing artist, @melaniejacobshair who has taught me so much more than hair. Under her I learned how to be an employee, how to service my community through my talents, and dream more for myself. In October, I will be at Deep Roots ATX Salon new Bee Cave location, specializing in women’s color and extensions. I hope to see you in my chair. ✨🌈
