Lisa Freemont Street and Classic Retro Glamour - Queens of Vintage Hair Tutorials

Vintage Inspired Hair Tutorials

Now Glamourdaze do not normally do reviews, as it is a after all an archive of fashion and beauty,
 [ i.e old stuff ]  but every now and then, this rule must be bent a little.

With all the fabulous vintage hairstyle tutorials now on youtube [ our favourites being Classic Retro Glamour and Lisa Freemont Street ! ] .

Both these hair stylists quite simply provide the best vintage hair tutorials on the web in my opinion.

Ashley  - Lisa Freemont Street -

This girl probably needs no further introduction by now to many vintage fashion enthusiasts.Her youtube channel has an astonishing 13,000 plus subscribers. Her tutorials are awesome and her blog is a great resource for reviews in all things vintage fashion.How she finds the time to be so prolific
is astounding.her latest series is called the animated angels.

Karina - Classic Retro Glamour

My friend Karina - the woman behind Classic Retro Glamour is a more recent arrival on the scene, but she has certainly created some waves [ no hair pun intended] since she started.Not only is she beautiful but has an adoreable personality to match her considerable talents as a hair stylist.Now also with a burgeoning vintage fashion blog, I predict that she will be as well known as Lisa Freemont Street before this year is out. They could be, in fact should be sisters ! Karina has just started a new series devoted to Pin Curls.


Vintage Inspired Hair Accessories - Belles Blossoms

Both Karina and Ashley have been modelling flowers from vintage hair accessory designer Belle Blossoms.

1930's Hairstyles - Vintage Hair Salon 1934

1930's Women's Hairstyles in the early part of the decade were all about waves !
The scary perming machines though were all the rage,
and no self respecting beauty salon could be seen without one.
Here in this charming vintage hair salon film, you see a good example of a side parting wave,
with hair pulled back in to curls and secured firmly with bobby pins.
To compliment these styles, hats had to be worn to the side slightly.
In fact, whatever the hairstyle, it had to compliment the latest hat fashion !
In early 1930's Fashion, the hairstyle icons would have generally all been Hollywood stars, such
as Bette Davis, Jean Harlow, Merle Oberon etc.
I like the added feature of receiving a manicure, while sitting beneath the dryer.

Vintage archive film of popular 1930's hairstyles.
Womens Hairstyles in the early 1930s remained quite close to the head with deep set finger waves. Hair partings in the center,or on the side.However the styles began to soften a little bit, with some play in the waves becoming increasingly popular and some volume appearing.An excellent source is a fine reproduction by
famous 1930's hair designer Paul Compan here
