Chelsey Pickthorn doesn’t believe in instant gratification. A friend of hers, the owner of a kimchi company, once said, “I’m three years away from my overnight success.” Apparently, it takes 10.

The colorist and owner of Pickthorn Salon trusts in the slow-but-rewarding process of growth, watching it take shape over the last five years with friend-turned-creative director/producer Jocelyn Simone in the form of their annual event, Color Me Bushwick. In the spirit of their symbiotic neighborhood, full of creatives open to creating with other creatives, the salon, at 92 St. Nicholas Ave., will transform into a music venue Friday through Sunday, opening the handmade wooden stage in the back room to budding local talent.

“It’s the fifth year, and we’re just reflecting back,” Simone said. “We’ve compiled a list of every musician we’ve worked with — it’s large. It’s nice to see where they are now. Seeing things through, being a part of it all — that’s the exciting thing. To see someone you’ve worked with for four years getting press…the beauty of growth is pretty amazing.”
