’70s Hair Flicks Flicking by Raphael – 1971
Photo: Klaus Lucka
Know your hair history. From the 1971 Femme Fatale Collection these flicks flicked softly and romantically, curled at the front of a bob. Hair by Raphael Santarossa, former partner of Raphael & Leonard in London, who married a Canadian and moved to Montreal, where this look was photographed. “A woman should be a woman, and I want to make her more woman, I love women and know to make them more so,” Raphael, perhaps the sexiest hairdresser ever, said at the time. Versions of these famous flicks made it internationally, it was such a flattering look, so new-looking then, easy to do, with the front left longer at the crown. And anyone could wear this look today – it has stood the test of time. To see more, CLICK HERE

Raphael’s Femme Fatale Turban Look – 1971
Photo: © Klaus Lucka
Here’s something different. From 1971. By the great Raphael Santarossa, who had tressed superstars and supermodels in London (as the Raphael of Raphael & Leonard) before moving to North America.
For this terrific turban look, Raphael cut and sculpted a fall in 3 steps, into 3 lengths, to look like 3 different fringes on one head. He then strategically placed the hair in the turban to waterfall down one side of the face, softening it. Note the thin brows of the era, a fad in 1971 but so many found their brows never grew back as they were! For more Femme Fatales, click here:

Do you know your hair history? These three photos are from Raphael’s Femme Fatale Collection, 1971. The all-one-length bobbed hairstyles featured flicks at the front, flattering the face. So new, at the time, no one had done anything like them before. Raphael said these looks were offered as “the answer to those ratty tatty growing-out layered looks” everyone had at the time.

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.
