After my parents separated, my mom and my aunt joined forces. Mom was divorced with 2 kids in the 70s and my aunt was widowed with no kids. So Mom went to work in a factory and my aunt kept house and ran a beauty shop out of the house so she could be home with us. My Mom was a beautician before she married so she could do hair, too. The shop the sink, reclining chair and a hair dryer.
THIS kind of hair dryer!!!
My hair was always professionally done when I was growing up. Of course, it also looked like an old woman's hair.
