Vintage Beauty Salon Hair Dryer

Nestled among a myriad of forgotten treasures in an old second-hand store sits a relic of bygone glamour, a vintage salon hair dryer.
A large hood, reminiscent of a futuristic space helmet beckons patrons to step into its embrace.
One is transported to a glamorous past where women spent hours pampering themselves under the gentle hum of such machines

Definitely a time travel worthy shot. Fun seeing the smiling faces in the photos in the background.

Nice 'time machine' shot! It seems like a simpler time, but I'm sure they had their stresses. What better way to lose them than by relaxing with a fresh coif, under the warmth and white noise of the dryer?

Fantastic find and composition at all.
The hair dryer helmet, in itself, was already worth the picture, but with the vintage photos on the wall and all the notes of red color in harmony, it is an exceptional image, until its swing.
What a retro atmosphere ! Bravo, Fong ! BV

retro for sure. those hoods styled like helmets from 1940s space operas...this reminds of my mum, and hair rollers, and pungent chemicals...a gem of a find..
