1848 Lowell MA Hair Salon Advertisement



From the Lowell Daily Journal & Courier, August 1848, an advertisement for a hair salon in Lowell, MA by a Henry Reinewald. Hair in the 19th Century was as diverse as the garments they wore. Some evening fashions consisted of curls down in back or on the shoulders. As a general rule in the 19th Century, a female who decided to wear her hair down was not thought of as a "lady". Only juvenile girls wore their locks down.

I don't know how you keep finding such fascinating items, but keep them coming. Loved this old add.
