My Mother And Her Waved Hair – 1935
This is my Mother. Her hair was beautifully waved, and blonde! I found out later, by chance, after she had passed away, that she modeled for a beauty salon. I often wondered about her great waves and very professional photos, large and small. She never told me, even though she knew I worked in the hair biz for decades! Now, as I look at her early photos like this, before her marriage to my Father, I know I am going to make an album of her early photos, and post them on this website.

CommentBRIDAL AMOUR, WAVING BEAUTY – 2012
As I marvel at the hair wave statement being made on PBS’s “Downton Abbey” every week– even more wonderful this season – I keep thinking of the Vivienne Mackinder waves from her 2012 Bridal Amour Collection. This waving beauty had her hair Marcel waved, then gathered into a low chignon to create the illusion of a bob.
