Hair Salon, Lhasa, Tibet, by Adam Dean

I love the action and energy captured in this everyday interaction. From the photographer’s caption: “A KTV (Karaoke) hostess has her hair styled in a modern hair dressers before starting her night shift at ‘Lhasa Nights’ karaoke bar, often a cover for prostitution, in the new entertainment district of Lhasa, China on 8 August 2006. The development is designed to cater for wealthy Han Chinese tourists, businessmen and government and military officials photo “Hair Salon, Lhasa, Tibet,” by Adam Dean, The New Breed of Documentary Photographers, 12 January 2009
