Summary
NoS Summary - Hair styles at Alec Pountney’s hairdressers in Wokingham, Berkshire, are inspired by the space age.
Researcher Comments
Commentary: Whacky [sic] clothes for women are to be expected, but in recent months the daft hair-do has been getting a lot of attention. So far, no girl has gone on a space-flight, but the weaker sex is there in spirit and hair-dos. An astronomic hairdressing establishment has got ideas that are simply out of this world.
