Emyn Hayden

Emyn is a multi-disciplined artist with a rich background in dry hair sculpting and the performing arts. Professionally trained and self-taught, he views creative expression as essential to both personal growth and community connection. His exploration of various artistic mediums has deepened his understanding of self-expression, the importance of safe spaces, and the transformative power of community—values that inform every aspect of his work. Storytelling lies at the core of Emyn’s artistic identity. From his early days crafting stories on paper to his career as a hairstylist, he has developed a keen ability to listen attentively and ask purposeful questions, creating authentic connections with those around him. This ethos of care and empathy shapes his writing, which seeks to uplift marginalized voices, foster education, and engage diverse communities. Emyn is committed to telling stories that reflect the lives of those he cherishes, celebrating them with authenticity and admiration. He hopes that, much like his clients in the salon chair, audiences feel genuinely seen, heard, and represented in his work.
