Old Hair

20 06 2009

I spotted this sign the other day for a kimono rental/ hairdresser. The sign is so old that they’ve probably been using it since the 60’s.

All of the pictures have long since turned blue because of the sunlight.

Would you trust a hairdresser that advertises with this photo below?

If they can make that last hairdo, they must’ve been very popular in the’80s! ;)

I’d say it’s more late 70’s. It looks like she’s ready for a night of disco dancing.:)

The hairdresser must have some very loyal longtime customers. Maybe even from the 1960s.

Actually in Japan, if it is broken don’t fix it either. Just go out and buy a whole new one. ;)

I would go in, just to see what would happen!
I’m sure my honey-colored hair could use a tsubaki oil treatment from a spunky obaachan.

What is tsubaki oil?

I think in English, it’s called Camellia oil. It’s a Japanese hair and skin care wonder.

It’s really old-fashioned, but it’s become trendy again.
Shiseido has a whole line of hair care products with tsubaki.
