Happy New Year with this 1975 LaCoupe one-length classic bob by Kim Lepine. Angel Curls curled on tiny tongs, thin, like a pencil, at the ends of the bob – bottoms up! The color was a gorgeous L’Oréal Mandarin/Mango shade, so new then it had to be flown into to the US for the New York shoot. For more Hair History and details, CLICK HERE

Raphael’s Femme Fatale – 1971
Photo: Klaus Lucka
Femme Fatale by Raphael Santarossa. This is one of many looks with flicks at the front that Raphael created in 1971, very new then. Raphael, one of the great hairdressers of all time, was very famous in London and Europe in the 60s, as the Raphael of Raphael & Leonard. I launched his salon when he arrived in Montreal and this was one of the great photos from our opening press release by the hairdresser who loved women!

1 Raphael 1971
Femme Fatale
“A woman should be a woman and I want to make her more woman, I love women and
know how to make them more so,” said Raphael when he opened Raphael, his Montreal
Salon in 1971.
Here is the first look of his Femme Fatale Collection which he offered as “the answer
to those ratty tatty growing-out layered looks” everyone had at the time.
Featured were bobbed hairstyles, all one length, with the front left longer from the crown
and variations of the one cut with flicks flattering the face, so new at the time that the
photos received a ton of International publicity.
Here is the first very simple version. Other versions follow, and note there is different
text under each photo.
