Chipster P.R.
My girls called me yesterday fit to be tied and smack dab in the middle of a "come apart".(Their words, not mine!) It seems that Miss Tillie had cancelled their standing appointments at the Curl Up And Dye Beauty Parlor and they were forced to fix each other's hair! Oh the indignity!!! In fact, they were asked not to attend any flower club meetings, bridge dates or any and all functions at the Country Club, including, but not limited to dances.They asked me to please make a P.S.A. that swine is NOT the same as honey baked. So in the interest of resurrecting their social life, they will now be referred to as The Two Headed Woman until further notice.

The Texas Woman
Oh, the price we pay for beauty!!
My 21-year old daughter recently asked me... "so mom... what did you do before there were blow dryers?" Oh how I wish I'd had this photo... maybe I'll just direct her to this post! LOL
hey... we have a "curl up and dye" down here too... must be a Texas thang... ;)
I can still smell a permanent..my mom owned a salon so I grew up as a child hangin' out under the dryers and seeing sll the up do's! Lots of great memories!

Weren't we all lovely under our inflatable dryer caps. Thanks for this trip down memory lane. You know the past isn't always pretty. Hope the girls are allowed back to all the clubs. Hugs, Pam
I had one of those hair dryers, mine was blue. It blew up one day as I put the plug in the socket. Thankfully, I wasn't electricuted! I also remember Toni home permanents and hot rollers!
Hope you had a great weekend!
Well girls, if we are taking a trip down memory lane, anybody remember "spoolies"?

Yes I think my mom used them on my hair when I was a baby! HAHA But i remember using one of those BLOW dryers! We also had one of those light blue metal hair dryers probably from the 50s which lasted until probably the 80s. Boy they don't last that long today!
Okay...all this was a little before my time but I'm laughing with all of you just the same.
Curl up & Dye? Where do you get this stuff from Deb?
too funny!
everything vintage (well almost everything)
Loved those Old Dryers ~ would Always put me to sleep, just like the lady in the photo~ wish I still had one of them.... Those Were the Days....

This is so funny! My mother had one of those dryers with the bonnet you put on your head!
BTW, I did tell my husband I was sheltering in place in B'ham! I told him I was feeling good, however, about survival......he was not amused!
Have a great day!!

Goodness...I am soooo glad we made it to the salon in time. As a student of the English language is delights me no to read such prose...I wonder if a pidicur..sounds like a slur xo lulu
I remember when!!
My mom had a round pink box with that hose and bonnet thing...she preferred the hair dresser but occasionally she had to use that pink box thang.
LOVE that photo and the memories!

Yes, unfortunately I was forced to break out my pink foam rubber rollers for the day. And Lulu wanted a spray on tan, but all I had was some Coppertone, so that will have to do, orange and all. Lauri@chippys
