Children Hair dressing at Selfridges. It seems to be one of the most fashionable things
Children Hair dressing at Selfridges. It seems to be one of the most fashionable things to have your childs hair cut at Selfridges because the waiting list stretches for weeks. And if you insist on a Saturday then everything is booked a month ahead. It may be that the attraction is the curl with which each child is provided before leaving the premises. Mind not all the kiddies take kindly to the idea and start crying, which appeals to the solidarity of some others and they join in. 5th March 1954

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of 1950s fashion and childhood memories, this print takes us back to a time when getting your child's hair cut at Selfridges was considered the epitome of style. The popularity of this salon is evident from the extensive waiting list that stretches for weeks, with Saturday appointments booked a month in advance. What sets this experience apart is not just the impeccable service but also the signature curl each child receives before leaving. However, not all little ones take kindly to the idea, resulting in tears and cries echoing through the salon. Yet, amidst these emotional moments, there is a sense of solidarity as some children join in on their peers' distress. The image showcases a charming scene where a young girl sits patiently on her mother's lap while an expert hairdresser tends to her locks. Dressed in an adorable fur coat and wearing an apron for protection against stray hairs, she gazes into life's mirror with curiosity and perhaps a hint of apprehension. Beloved photographer Bela Zola masterfully captures both vulnerability and reassurance within this snapshot from March 5th, 1954. This photograph becomes more than just documentation; it becomes part of our collective memory—a testament to how even mundane activities can hold deep sentimental value.
