My grandma went to the salon each week to have her hair washed and set. She never washed her hair herself. She had a standing weekly appointment. Nothing kept her from that appointment.

This was 70 years ago ...omg

Them: 2 hours a *week* in a beuty salon Me: 2 hours a *year* in a beauty salon

"A woman's hands are as important to her as her face." *Looks down at my dry raggedy ass hands and nails*

She looks like she was randomly cutting hair LMFAO

Doing hair in a suit

Today this would be considered “unintentional ASMR.”

Hard to believe that, as of 2021, this was over 60 years ago. Time moves incredibly fast.

"who's more appreciative of beautiful women..THAN A MANNN?!" Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah right 😂😂😂😂

My mother grew up in the 50s and I swear the hair salon guys and gals even at the nail Salon LOVE HER. In her 70s and in her little wheel chair she still gets her hair shampooed and set or styled every Friday. Every 3 weeks her nails are done even if they are short she gets them done with the dip powder whether she goes anywhere or not. Even with the Coronavirus stuck at home she begs me to take her. I tell her what's the point because no one will see her and she can't go to church right now and she responds with, "Ruth, don't be crazy, you never know who might come to visit me". I'm in my 30s and my husband in his 40s and he says, "just take her, it makes her happy and in her day women were always well dressed, hair done, full on makeup, and nails done". I am 37 and I always wear a blouse and flat shoes when going to the cinema or a restaurant and full on makeup. I never realized that most Millennials don't do that until someone pointed it out. I realized I do this because my parents grew up in the 1940s and 1950s. I never thought it strange that living in the South with 100 degree weather I was still wearing a proper ladies blouse with black slacks or knit pants and would dress up just to go to the grocery store. I have noticed that when little kids see me they are always respectful and move out of my way while shopping and if they need help reaching something they will ask me and not other people. I used to wonder that it was because I had a friendly face and am very short, so close to their level, but an older once told me it's because of the way I'm dressed they think I'm safe and approachable because little kids notice stuff like that. Anytime we are at the zoo and a child is lost they walk right up to my husband and I crying with their little hands outstretched wanting us to pick them up. Even at the zoo, no joke, on a rented electric wheel chair in Dallas, TX my mother has her full on makeup, hair done, nails, and wears a fur coat in November while we are at the zoo.😎 she dresses up to see the animals and makes my husband wear nice dress up shoes that he wears after we leave the zoo so that he looks "Appropriate" when we leave the zoo to go to a restaurant. No joke!! My husband is from Morocco and has had to learn to slightly dress up when he takes mom out because she wants him to dress like a "man" of his "age" and swears up and down people will take him more seriously. To be honest, I think she might be right. People do judge you without realizing it based on your outer appearance.

The fact tht the man is wearing a suite while cutting the girl's hair is impressive

I wanna see Brad Mondo React to this

I see 1950's I click

50s women: beautiful af even though they had almost no proper beauty products me: having all the technological and beauty care opportunities and dying of ugliness

My grandma used to go to the salon every two weeks to get her hair washed and styled and get her nails done... she told me that she loved going their because everyone was super nice ❤️🥰✨

I like watching how women from other cultures or races get their hair done... Since mine is more coiled so to speak because I am of African descent, it's really not that different! 🌹 Thanks for the upload 💕

Everyone now: thick brows, makeup on brows. Me who loves pencil brows: WOW! Look at that beauticians brow game going on!!

“ the beautification of women kind” lmao

They took such pride in how they looked.... What a great era....

😭😭😭I miss my hairdresser soooo much😭😭😭😭 It won’t be until June, minimum, now b4 I see her.... What I wouldn’t give for a day at the spa like these ladies are getting😍

That guy doing the hair styling was rather spiffing, I do like an unusual looking but handsome man, and that zoot suit!

Go away corona virus! We miss going to the salon 😩

0:26. Little Timmy dreams of one day becoming a women's beautician. No time for afterschool sports, you'll find him in mommy's closet coordinating outfits with accessories. His future wife will be mighty lucky. 😏

Who else noticed the lady wiping her face so rough with a paper towel “shake my head”🤦🏾‍♀️

“Who is more appreciative of beautiful women than a man?” Lesbians: 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️

Ugh I just love this time and this channel it’s so classy and feminine etc I love it keep posting💕

My lil esthetician heart hurts watching this watching her drag tissues across her face to remove product omg.

I remember being a cosmetologist back in the 70's at a shampoo/perm/set shop. Those little old ladies LOOOOOVED their dippity doo 😂

The lady in the picture at 2:28 looks exactly like my great grandma during that time. She always went to the salon to get her hair done every week up until she passed 3 years ago

Just curious if there was one man who narrated every single 1950s video, because they all sound like the same voice to me 😊 Thanks for the video!

Damn they are all so fancy and classy 🥺🧐

Let’s you know how down hill America has gone. A lot of people can’t afford going to the salon two hours a week.

Real class and i still love a male hairdresser cutting my hair i like the time they spend on your hair not rushed i love this video !!😍❤

I love these! I wish they had some black salons!, I would love to see the hair styles back then

Love your chanel!!! I’m a huge 50’s/atomic era buff and your content brings me so much joy. I have always wondered about the cute “That’s All” at the end of the videos - is it from a particular movie? So curious! 😍

I watch this and think, oh my god 2 hours a week....I can’t even afford a visit once a month lol and that’s just to get like a hair cut not talking about facials or manicures lol I’ve never had a facial

That was a time travelling , nice ! Thank you 👍

Very nice narrative, thank you for posting.

Not to stereotype, but I laughed at “who more to appreciate a woman’s beauty but a man” because my guess is that several of those male beauticians weren’t into the women.

haha I love the ridiculous "who can be more appreciate of beautiful women than a man?" Wishing I could spend 2 hours a week getitng my hair professionally done! Maybe one day ;)

I remember the days when I wore a white uniform in the salon. I got so much color rinses on me that I wore a black smock over my uniform

That boy could be on his 80th right now.

Ohhh i love those videos!

Everytime i watch these kind of videos i always imagine what if someone to go back in time with today's trend, hairstyle, colourful nail polish, bushy brows, eyeshadows etc etc

Loved this. Didn't realize the use of banana clips was that old!

i really really love beauty salons...is one of my favourite places to be!!!!LOL💅💄✂

that was gold ♥♥

As a beauty therapist myself, this is so interesting to watch!! OMG

Why did they make narrative videos of nearly all daily activities in the 50s? We need to bring this back.

I love the 1950s

These videos won't ever be complete without the narration!

Beauticians and beauty operators. Back then the profession was more appreciated and respected 💇

I find this so relaxing ❤

Wow that female beautician performing the facial looks just like my 4th grade teacher - that’s incredible

Omygod this is hilarious! Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Yes, please ♥️

Old is always gold

Who would know that we are able to see this after 60 yrs.awsome

I would love to see how they did there pedi or manicure I have been looking for videos even the 70s or 80s would work.

Love how even back then they used "esti fingers "

"Who is more appreciative of a woman's beauty than a man?" Me:*spits out my tea in a fit of bisexual laughter*

great video

I didn't realize Annette Funicello was a manicurist! 🤣🤣🤣

Achha lga dekh ke🥰🥰

A trip back in time

Love this video

oh, i loved this 🥰

man, sometimes i wished I lived in the 1950s or anywhere in the 1900's

Love the male hairdresser in a 3 piece suit!

I don’t care what they say, I would love to have lived in the 50s!

"Who is more appreciative of the beauty of a woman, than a man?" *laughs in gay*

I heard this voice almost allllll my life as a narrator.

LOL 😂 ion what this lady cutting my hair that didn’t look right LOL 😂

I can’t believe my now grandma was just a newborn baby in the year 1950. 😳😍

2:02 her highlights in her fringe though 👌🏾

So nostalgia...😍

It looked like she was thinning it out and making it wispy. I'm a hairdresser and I used to watch my mother give haircuts like this! It always look nice, not choppy

2hrs a week?! I am way behind.

Hah! Two hours a week?! I get maybe that much every 6 months if I am lucky!

The way she cut the hair SCARED ME😱😳😬

Aaj ke tanaw bhari jindagi me 1950 ke time jane ko man karta he us time movie heroine hero lifestyle mujhe bahut pasand he

"Because clearly all of the men working in salons are straight." Oh honey....

Muito bom!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for uploading sweetheart

Omg, 2 hours A WEEK!? Jayzeus! Love the historical videos though

“More men have chosen to be women hair dressers cause who knows what a woman’s beauty better then a man” (Me in my head) “You know damn well he’s gay” 😂😂

The simplicity of life!!

The guys are just there to get the tea. They don’t care how they look.

1940s fashion and hair was the best IMO

“Who is more appreciative of beautiful women that a man?” ME THATS WHO

The cut was called The Slither.....when done properly creates a feathered style, I was trained old school in the 70's

Those were the days

At that time going beauty parlour was a matter of luxury !!!!!

2 hours a week in the beauty salon wow

i miss getting my hair wash and blow...never get my nails done by someone.

Omg that's funny... Even while I recall my late mom had her own bowl to dry her hair in curlers.

Black salons are different than this we didn’t have to go to a beauty salon the beauty salon was our mother with the hot comb to our ear lmao

Adoro esses vídeos antigos, bjs do Brasil 🥰💋

i wanted to see the finished hairdos!

The good old days
