Gercy Galang is a hair stylist and makeup artist based in San Diego, CA. She discovered her love for hair styling at a young age, while growing up in the Paradise Hills community of southeast San Diego. Gercy started out by practicing braiding techniques on friends and setting up local pop-up braiding booths at events around the city. Her natural talent evolved into a passion as she pursued an innate drive to become a professional stylist. Eventually, Gercy found herself with a growing list of regional and international clientele who have continued to seek out her unique artistry in hair styling and makeup work.
Beyond the salon, Gercy has continued to expand her creative portfolio, teaming up with visual artists for editorial campaigns, fine art series and leading intensive styling workshops that aim to help develop emerging stylist’s skillsets. Mastering traditional techniques with a complete dedication to her craft and creatively expanding her personal vision while traveling the world and exploring nature - Gercy’s curiosity and attention to detail have driven her to perfect the art of merging refined basics with an elegant, modern edge.
Gercy enjoys developing true connections with each client in her chair and she’s become the go-to artist for anyone seeking something beautifully classic, inspirationally creative, or something “just them.”
Located in the Clairemont neighborhood of San Diego, Gercy's Salon is a creative space bringing together hairstyling, art, and community.
Founded by San Diego native Gercy Galang, a hairstylist and makeup artist whose work extends into fashion, editorial, and fine art, the salon reflects her dedication to her craft and her vision of creating a welcoming space for creative expression.
Beyond hairstyling, Gercy's Salon is home to an art gallery featuring rotating exhibitions and a small thrift shop offering a curated selection of vintage and secondhand clothing.
Together, these elements create a space where art, personal expression, and community intersect.
Currently On View, A Shared Light, Photographs by John Francis Peters
A Shared Light is a selection of photographs made during our journey together over the past ten years. The images include documentary photographs from daily life, art photography projects, and images inspired by Gercy's work as a hairstylist.
Gercy's Salon has been a dream of ours growing through years of conversations and shared visions. Since we first met, we've imagined creating a space that brings together community, art, and a thrift shop - all within the context of a welcoming and creative salon.
While our individual work takes different forms, creativity has always been one of the strongest threads connecting us. It shapes how we move through the world, what captures our attention, and how we express our love for each other and life. The photographs in this exhibition reflect some of the experiences that have stayed with us along the way.
