The image shows a woman seated in front of a vanity mirror, with another woman standing behind her working on her hair. The seated woman has long dark hair and is visible from the shoulders up. The standing woman is fully clothed and wearing glasses as she tends to the seated woman's hair. Various hair and beauty products are scattered on the vanity, along with a turned-on lamp. In the background, hanging light cords and partially visible curtains can be seen, along with a reflection of some photographer's equipment.
