Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America’s most notorious criminals, including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and Al Capone.

All races, genders, body types, orientations, hair and skin types can come to a Batty Fang salon and celebrate their true selves and be given encouragement and love to express themselves however they want.
