1 We love Space-Age vintage salon hair dryers, with their sleek style and unapologetic abundance of chrome. They look even better when coupled with Coke in this 1960 ad, don’t you think? (and no, we are not paid by Coke for this endorsement)
2 Here is
another great chrome dryer, just as sleek as the ones above (by the way, their
sleek designs prevent dirt and loose hair from collecting, and are easier to
clean)
3 And here
are some weirder versions of old hair dryers and perm machines, sporting
bountiful wires and sleek rocket shapes
4 Hovering,
hooded apparatuses, with octopus-like hoses and wires welcome you into the dark
of the salon
5 They
crouch in the dark surrounded by a low humming noise, they reach to envelop
your hair with their warm uncaring fingers, to entangle you and keep you
sitting still until the hair-setting procedure is finished…
6 These are
more compact setups, one from 1928 (left) and one from 1963 (a vacuum cleaner
used as a hair dryer), both looking pretty strange to our modern eye
7 Vintage
salon hair tools included other strange-looking apparatuses: medusa-like hair
straighteners, hair curlers, heat setters, pore openers… This catalogue is from
The Illustrated London News, 20 October 1928
8 This is
probably the most visually interesting perm machine, a flying saucer-shaped
Gabrieleen Silver Queen, made in the 1930s (this is NOT a brain-sucking device)
9 And
finally, here is the whole futuristic hair-drying setup, worthy to be a prop in
any 1960s sci-fi movie
