EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from 1958, we see twelve-month-old Alan Morel of St Pauls Cray, Kent, experiencing his very first haircut. Sitting in a high chair at the local barbershop, little Alan looks both curious and slightly apprehensive as the hairdresser carefully trims away his precious baby curls. It is a significant milestone for any child, marking their transition from infancy to toddlerhood. To commemorate this special occasion, Alan's loving mother Dorothy Morel proudly holds up a certificate that has been presented to her. Attached to it is a small lock of her son's shorn hair - a sentimental keepsake symbolizing the end of an era and the beginning of new adventures. This charming photograph captures not only a tender moment between mother and child but also highlights the timeless tradition within the hairdressing industry: children's first haircuts. The skilled hands of barbers and hairdressers have long played an important role in shaping our lives from an early age. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the universal experience shared by parents across generations – watching with bittersweet emotions as our little ones grow up before our eyes.
