EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from 1928 showcases a woman in the midst of using an Electric Permanent Waving Machine, aptly named "Medusa," at the Hairdressers Annual Exhibition. The intricate contraption, a marvel of the 1920s, was designed to create long-lasting curls and waves in women's hair without the need for frequent visits to the salon. The Electric Permanent Waving Machine, a true gadget of the era, was a far cry from the traditional hair curling methods. With its serpentine design, the device resembled a medusa head, adorned with hanging coils and cords that connected to an overhead power source. The woman in the image wears a protective cap, her eyes shielded by goggles, as she positions her head under the machine's metallic arms. The beauty industry in the 1920s was a thriving sector, and innovations like the Electric Permanent Waving Machine were a testament to the era's fascination with new technologies and the pursuit of perfect coiffures. The machine's sleek design and modern appeal were a hit among women, who embraced the convenience and long-lasting results it offered. This photograph not only captures the essence of the 1920s, but it also highlights the ingenuity and creativity of the hairdressing industry during this period. The Electric Permanent Waving Machine, with its Medusa-like appearance, stands as a symbol of the transformative power of beauty devices and the enduring allure of the latest hairdressing trends.
