Field notes
Why it belongs
Fantasy and science-fiction costume shop, handmade-accessory boutique, wig and headdress source, creative-color hair salon, costume-consultation stop, and immersive alien-themed interior.
The current store treats shopping, styling and set-like atmosphere as one experience, combining practical salon services with retail that can move from a small pair of horns to a complete handmade look.
She Comes in Peace is both a costume boutique and a working hair salon at its current St. Claude Avenue storefront. Retail ranges from wigs, space braids, horns, masks, headdresses, hats, chokers and spike collars to handmade costume creations, practical basics and DIY components. Salon services include creative color, blonding, mullets and clipper cuts, with a crystal-cavern-inspired shampoo room extending the playful science-fiction atmosphere through the full visit.
