Women getting touch-ups in a vintage salon

source: reddit

The hairstyling of the 1950s and 1960s was truly unique, and looking back maybe somewhat entertaining as well. Big hair and high maintenance looks were going out of fashion by the end of the ’60s, allowing women to be beautiful with an easier style, yet most of the women frequently spent hours in the hair salon. These places weren’t just helping them look great, but turned into a local meeting point, where getting the local news and gossip was part of the service. Ladies popped in for just getting a quick touch up, or to get their hair combed while listening to anything newsworthy.
