Maeve Callahan cuts hair in Asheville, North Carolina, where the summer air does what it likes to everyone's hair and a blow-dry lasts about as far as the car. She spent eleven years building cuts that only worked when she was the one holding the brush, and the better part of a decade since undoing that habit. She cuts dry, she cuts for how hair falls on its own, and she asks every client the same first question: how many minutes do you actually have?
