PAMPER

Beamish Museum 1950s Hair Salon

Regional Resource Centre, Beamish, County Durham DH9 0RG

Fancy rolls or a bouffant set? Fifties-era hairstyle appointments will be offered at Beamish Museum’s new period town development from March. The kitted-out salon, set to open in February, is a replica of Elizabeth’s Hair Fashions – a former end-terrace business from Bow Street in Middlesbrough which ran for 37 years. Here you can learn about hairdressing through the decade, including how and where people trained and the history of women’s fashion and beauty.
