Vintage Photos of Hair Salons From the 1950s and 1960s _ USStories

   

During the transition from the 1950s to the 1960s, big hair and bouffants were the hairdos of the day, but even as those hairstyles went out of fashion became more casual and easy to maintain women still frequented hair salons. Not only were salons the best place for someone to get their hair set for a big day, but they were the place to hear local gossip and just get away from the house for a little while. People popped in for “drive-bys,” otherwise known as just getting a quick touch up, and people were showing up to get their hair combed at least twice a week.
