‘I cried for a long time’: Black hair stylist’s dream crushed by racist neighbor

Angel Pittman says her dream to create a mobile hair salon was thwarted when a neighbor harassed her with racist comments and vandalized her buses

Angel Pittman's dream was to create a mobile hair salon. So the 21-year-old stylist bought less than an acre of unrestricted land in North Carolina for $10,000 in September and purchased three school buses for $14,000 with money she had saved since she was 17.

I've never seen anybody driving around doing people's hair," she said. But not only did I want to get paid for doing hair, but I wanted to drive around, do a couple of homeless people's hair and maybe go to some prisons and help incarcerated people."
