Nu Wave Kultural Kreations is more than a salon—it’s a cultural institution and a driving force behind the evolution of natural haircare in New York. Rooted in Brooklyn’s vibrant community, they blend artistry, heritage, and advocacy to honor Black beauty and empower generations.
As a longstanding creative partner, Grave Shift Studios has collaborated with Nu Wave on projects that celebrate their mission—from intimate behind-the-scenes narratives to vibrant festival tributes. Their commitment extends beyond the salon chair; Nu Wave played a pivotal role in influencing New York State legislation, including Senate Bills S5438 and S6652, which established distinct licensing requirements and apprenticeship programs for natural haircare and braiding.
Through our lens, we’ve captured their unwavering dedication to cultural preservation, community empowerment, and the expansion of natural haircare culture. Together, we’ve told stories that reflect a legacy of resilience, creativity, and transformative impact.
