This article was the most interesting to me, because i can relate it to my own life. I grew up all around hair salons and hair stylists because that is my mothers profession. I have always had a hair salon in the house i grew up in and had the smell of perms and hair spray throughout the house. The most interesting part of this article is when they were talking about the hair stylist Adler, ["Adler liked to trumpet his abilities. he called himself "a sculptor of the head" as he liked to put it. From time to time he would also call himself a psychoanalyst. One visit to his salon, Adler claimed, was worth six trips to the shrink."] The things that my mothers clients will tell her is almost like she is a psychologist and she often feels worn down after a particularly troubled client. The other side of this article that was interesting is the complete disdain for embracing or respecting femininity, and how men wanted to strip it all away like the plague.
