Weekly Hairdo

On It · ‎03-15-2021

We had an appointment to get our hair "fixed" every week. It was a standing appointment for the same day at the same time. Forget Friday, it never had an opening. (I am not in this photo. I saw it online, and it brought back memories.)

Great post @On It . Of course I am way too young for this (LOL) but seriously I remember going to the salon (or beauty parlor) with my mom and aunts in the 60's. Such fond memories of them with all their "teased" hair. Love it!

Reminds me of a neighbor who had her hair "done" weekly and then wrapped it in toilet paper before going to bed.

Her husband must have loved that. Ugh.

One of those women is my mother 😜

Not really but she sure worked on maintaining her 'do until her next appointment.

Not my era either but I remember mom going. Not sure if it was weekly tho. Might have been. Then in thre 70s it was long and she did her own color.

What I remember about the whole hair thing was the arguments I would have w/Mom during that "time of the month" cuz' I couldn't wash my hair. I liked then and still do shampoo my hair every day.

I am reminded of a funny incident. My appointment was on Thursday after school. I was teaching. A little boy came over to me at recess.

He asked, "Is today the day you go to the beauty shop?"

I answered, "Yes."

He said, "Good," and ran off to play.

Oh! Me, too, @Group 5 minus 1. Was your mother English?
