Description
This book examines beauty practices and beauty services through empirical research in Australia with salon workers and clients in order to show the role they play in identity making. The author offers a perspective that is neither dismissive of beauty practices as trivial, inescapably patriarchal, and harmful, nor defensive of beauty via the neoliberal postfeminist rhetoric of choice.
