rubydazzler Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Did you work at any of them? I was a shampoo girl at the Norfolk Row shop in the Ideal Salons heyday. Was Sherwoods on Surrey Street? There was also George France on Chapel Walk. What was that big one called, above the shops on Arundel Gate/Hole in the Road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soft ayperth Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Shaw's on West Street. Used to do blow waves. No puns needed. They were just the fashionable hair cuts of the late 50s/early 60s. Also, the guy who ran the barber's shop on the Stradbroke estate who only knew the colliers' cut. Short back and sides, scalped at the back. I used to be a regular patron of the first of these but avoided the Stradbroke guy like the plague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDEN OLDIE Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 No never worked in a hairdressers. Just thinking how things have changed over the years - styles, blowdrys, rollers etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetty Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I can remember the old 'hot' perms!!! Hair was wrapped around rollers and hot clamps were put on top of the rollers!! A ladies head must have felt like it weighed a ton!! I guess you needed strong neck muscles!!! My Mum used to use curling tongs on my (very) straight hair, seem to recall she put them on the cooker top to heat them, then would have a damp cloth to wipe them down then curl my hair, it was torture!! Later she would curl my hair with kirby grips, after them came the rollers, awful to sleep in as they were made of hard plastic. The home perms......... Toni, Richard Hudnut arrgh!!!!! Our hair today has to be in much better condition than it was 40-50 years ago!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
