Nikiya Mathis made Broadway history as the wig and hair designer for Jaja’s African Hair Braiding. Now, she’s on a mission to make all Black actors feel more cared for behind the scenes. In an interview with Allure, Mathis talks about her personal experiences and how Broadway can do better.
At the Samuel J. Friedman Theater in New York City, the curtains have just opened on Jaja’s African Hair Braiding, a play set in a hair braiding shop in Harlem. I was curious to see how the characters would pull off the development of various hairstyles throughout the show: one Jaja’s “client” was having her hair styled in micro braids, which in real life is a laborious, day-long process.
” So many times, Black actors have come into my chair crying from whatever they've gone through on stage or . It's been a space of love and nurturing from both sides. Like I'm always talking about life and spiritual and emotional things. And I'm always getting fed. And what I'm grateful for is that the women whose hair I do want to feed me and I want to feed them and when we're done, we just feel good at the end of it.
