Gabrielle Union
@itsgabrielleu
Important Thread! 👇🏾 What alot of non-industry folks don't realize is that u can't just use ur normal hairstylists/barbers/makeup artists on a union job (most jobs are union) Those artists HAVE to be IN THE UNION & getting them in has NEVER been easy or smooth. Ever. Like never.

PSA: If you cast a POC— And thank you for doing so!—you also have to hire someone who knows how to do ethnic hair. Not someone who's "comfortable with it" but someone who actually knows how to style ethnic hair types. Congratulations on advancing to the next level of inclusion! twitter.com/YNB/status/110…

Listen. If you own a hair salon in a city or town or really any place where black folks live — hire folks who know how to cut, style and manage black hair.

I disagree with what Gabrielle Monique union is implying ,just because Gabrielle Monique union is having a bad hair day and demands to use a non union member doesnt mean thats right ,its not ,the union represents diversity and equality,Gabrielles thought process is wrong.

That’s a whole other conversation b/c the gatekeepers for becoming union span the whole production list; from gaffers and grips to costume and makeup. It’s like the last bastion of nepotism & favor! I think it’s shameful that cosmetology schools don’t make ethnic hair a req!
