“Babetta failed, we will drape”: a selection of photos from Soviet beauty salons

Soviet beauty salons, which were simply called hairdressing, firmly settled in the mind with huge dryers, curling tongs and boxes of eyebrow and eyelash colors. Another constant attribute is a master in a white coat building a babette.

With the help of chemical perms, it was possible to transform beyond recognition. But Soviet women were not so active in drastic changes. Although the images of celebrities who repainted their hair and constructed unimaginable hairstyles, still did not leave them alone.

All the beauty, which managed to direct the Soviet hairdressers, could hold out for several days. Then he had to visit the master again in order to “restore order”. But at that time it was of little interest to the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. They pursued beauty.
