Queer Hawk

For us, it’s seeing that sparkle in your eyes right here in our shop.

It’s that moment when you look in the mirror and see your truth, your real self, no filters, no fear.

At Q***r Hawk, we believe self-care is an act of self-love and celebration.

But beyond our chairs, we want to know:
What makes you feel like your best self?

Felix Oliveira is a gay hair stylist of Afro-Indigenous heritage, originally from the Northeast of Brazil. He works where texture, memory, and identity meet. Specialising in Afro hair; curls, coils, colour, braids, what he really shapes goes far beyond the chair.

His work is unapologetically political, rooted in an understanding that hair is never just hair. It’s language. It’s resistance. It’s a living archive of plural bodies, histories, and futures that refuse to be flattened or erased.

Felix moves through his craft with intention, building a career at the intersection of artistry and critical dialogue around Black aesthetics and identity. Braiding, in particular, becomes a site of deep study and reverence, not just technique, but tradition, lineage, and coded knowledge passed from hand to hand.

Through his work, braids speak. Patterns carry memory. Texture holds story. Colour becomes declaration. Each style is an act of preservation and celebration, honouring the vast, layered beauty of Afro hair in all its forms. Complex, defiant, and fully alive.

🌿🌈 Big news from the nest!

Q***r Hawk is joining the Green Salon Collective, a global movement helping salons recycle waste and care for the planet.

From next week, the hair we cut will be recycled and repurposed even turned into mats that help clean up oil spills instead of going to landfill.

With Global Recycling Day this Wednesday, it feels like the perfect time to take this step towards a more sustainable salon.

Caring for the planet is q***r too 💚🌱🦅

Q***R WOMEN WHO CHANGED THE WORLD ✊🌈

This International Women’s Day, we honour the q***r women who fight, create, organise and speak out so future generations can live more freely.

From activists of the Stonewall Uprising like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, to powerful voices like Audre Lorde, Nell McCafferty and Sinéad O’Connor, q***r women have always been at the heart of movements for justice.

Artists like CMAT and Chappell Roan remind us that q***r joy and visibility are powerful acts.
Trailblazers like Erika Hilton, Leslie Feinberg and Kathleen Lynn show us that liberation is collective.

Their words, courage and resistance continue to inspire the fight for equality today.

Join us this Sunday and march with us.

🗓 8 March

Together with ROSA Socialist Feminist, we’re inviting our community to take the streets and stand for women’s rights, q***r liberation and trans solidarity.
