PARR & FREDERICKE ADS - 1968

2 ladies hairdresser ads from 1968.

Parr Salons was at 128 Gray Street in the Ferry.

I seem to recall Parr's had a bit of a reputation for being a cut above the rest, although maybe it was they themselves who planted this high opinion in the first place!

As well as the Cowgate, Perth Road & Logie Street addresses in the ad, Fredericke also, later on, had a Ladies Hairdressing Training Centre in the Nethergate.

Now, Fredericke was obviously doing very good business with ladies hairstyling, but back then, there was another hairdresser who was also very successful with the ladies!! John Watson on the corner of Cleghorn St & Benvie Rd, used to attract ladies from all over Dundee. Not because of his scissor work, but because of his good looks! Yes, females, even from the other end of town, would make a special trip to his joint just to swoon and go weak at the knees!!

Ach well, it was the swinging 60's after all!!

Last I heard, he moved to New Zealand.

So away and book your flight girls..!!
