LOST Haircuts Every 1960s Woman Used That Made Them Look Amazing All Day

Constance is 43 in a Richmond salon in 1966. In 12 weeks her hair will look exactly like this. The stylist who cut her hair four times a year knew things about that specific head that no newcomer could replicate in a first appointment. Fast turnaround salon models dropped the dry check, the hand mirror, the pre-cut consultation and the face shape conversation one at a time because none of those steps were billed time. Here are 20 techniques, what each one does, and why the woman who understood them looked better at week ten than most people do the day after their appointment.
