"Discovering the Timeless Beauty of Perms: A Journey Through History" Step back in time to 1928, when the first Permanent Hair-Waving machine revolutionized hairstyling. This remarkable invention originated in Russia's city of Perm, known for its rich history and cultural heritage since 1888. Gwendoline Dyer hair salon, a renowned establishment, proudly showcased their expertise with an advert featuring a stunning short cut and perm. The artistry captured by black and white photography portrayed a semi-naked woman posing elegantly in a studio, her portrait exuding confidence. In another captivating image from this era, we see a three-quarter length photograph of a smiling hairdresser standing at work. Dressed impeccably and surrounded by tools of the trade, she effortlessly creates beautiful hairstyles that would last for months thanks to the magic of perms. Easy Retouch was introduced as an innovative technique in black and white photography. Head and shoulders shots were taken while individuals engaged in conversations or displayed their elegant charm. These timeless portraits captured not only physical beauty but also glimpses into people's personalities. The world of entertainment embraced perms too. Actor Derek Jacobi wowed audiences with his performance as Pericles on stage with Prospect Theatre Company. Adrienne Corri, an accomplished actress whose talent knew no bounds, graced screens worldwide leaving lasting impressions through her diverse roles. Even celebrities like Craig McLachlan joined the perm trend during June 1988 when he posed for photographs that showcased his stylish curls alongside his singing career achievements. But it wasn't just Western styles that took center stage; Allan Soh demonstrated the Chinese perm technique in June 1981. His expertise highlighted how different cultures influenced hairstyling trends across borders. And who could forget iconic pop group "Supertramp"? Pictured amidst London's bustling Bruton Place during their heyday – their vibrant music matched perfectly with their bold hairstyles adorned with perms.
