On a lifetime in the beauty industry
It was a Woman's Hour item on hairdressing that prompted eighty eight year old Kathleen Hall to get in touch with the programme. It said that the first salons only really emerged in the 1950s. Not so, said Kathleen. She got her first job in the 1930s and continued to work as a hairdresser until she was well into her seventies, and as a beautician until she was 80. Libby Cross has been to meet her. |
