Children hairdressing at Selfridges. It seems to be one of the most fashionable things to
Children hairdressing 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. London, 5th March 1954

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Bela Zola, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of London in the 1950s. The scene unfolds at Selfridges, where children's hairdressing has become a fashionable trend that is in high demand. The popularity of this salon is evident from the extensive waiting list that stretches for weeks, and even longer if you dare to book an appointment on a Saturday. What makes this experience truly unique is the special touch each child receives before leaving the premises - a beautifully styled curl adorning their freshly cut locks. However, not every little one takes kindly to the idea of having their hair trimmed, resulting in tears and cries echoing through the air. Surprisingly, rather than causing distress among onlookers, these emotional outbursts foster solidarity as some children join in with empathy. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time - young boys sitting attentively on barbers' chairs adorned with aprons while skilled hairdressers concentrate intently on their task at hand. Their worried expressions reflect both concern for delivering impeccable cuts and ensuring each child feels comfortable throughout the process. This image offers us a glimpse into life within inner boroughs of London during an era when even mundane activities like getting a haircut held great significance. Bela Zola's lens immortalizes this slice of history, reminding us how seemingly ordinary moments can carry profound meaning when viewed through the lens of nostalgia and memory.
