When salons went silent, hair got loud. Cafe Girls Volume 1 turns that strange season into a book-length diary—tiny portraits of big feelings, drawn one 4×4 square at a time. Every page is hair-first: afros, bobs, headscarves, grown-out color lines, and the moods that grew with them.

- Poem, salon-chair monologue, and short vignette for each “she.”
- Printed on demand—no overstock, no dusty boxes.

The Why
When the salon went quiet, the hair got loud.
4×4 Faces started as a lockdown diary—a way to process roots growing out, bangs misbehaving, and the weird tenderness of cutting your own hair in the kitchen light.
Before the world paused, hair just “happened” between errands. Then one day, the salon chair disappeared. Roots crept in. Headscarves and box dyes came out. We became our own stylists, therapists, and hype squads.
In that strange quiet, Frances picked up her pen and began drawing women from memory and imagination: 4×4-inch portraits where hair was the headline, not an afterthought. Pin curls, power bobs, afros, protective styles, grown-out color lines—each one a mood, a moment, a tiny act of agency.
Today, those tiles have grown into a living art brand: books, wall art, bags, pillows, salon packs, and more. Still 4×4. Still hair-first. Still whispering (and sometimes shouting) the same truth: when the hair feels right, the spirit follows.
Why this
We're not selling generic “portrait art.” We're claiming a category: 4×4 hair-portraits—Hairstories—that celebrate identity, mood, and the rituals around a cut, a color, or a curl pattern.
Why now
Salons, cafes, and home walls are craving art with a point of view. These tiles carry the story of lockdown, reinvention, and daily courage—a conversation piece for every mirror and every latte line.
Why 4×4
Constraint is our magic. One square format. Hair as hero. Bold backgrounds. Micro stories. That focus lets us go deep, build a recognizable brand, and keep every piece unmistakably “Frances Catania 4×4 Faces.”

Cafe Girls · Volume 1
“Bold, Not Quiet”
She used to smooth the curls down until they behaved. Now the bob is big, the earrings are louder than the room, and the only thing she tones down is other people's expectations.
Green-lit space, her curls unwind,
A bob that sparkles, bold in mind.
They said “be soft,” she said “not quite”—
This hair was never meant for quiet.
