I remember my mother going to a hairdressers at the corner of Trinity Road by the Town Hall. She was in a perm club with other members of the family and all paid weekly into the club. Does any one else remember these clubs?

Hello Nicenanny1

I remember my cousin running a perm club for a number of years and in 1965 she persuaded me to have one.
It was amazingly tight curls and someone nicknamed me "Woolly Bum" They said I had a head like a sheeps backside. Needless to say it was the one and only perm I ever had.

The hairdresser was in Kirkdale if my memory is correct.


Memory I had tried to forget till I read your post ha ha

Hello Dorothy

Don't remember "Poodle Cut".

I had my long hair cut to look like Mitzi Gaynor in South Pacific. My mother was so angry. ha ha

My Mum used to be in a perm club at a hairdresser; on Stanley Road, opposite the Kings Gardens. It was called "Gerties" (I think)
