I'm not actually a hairdresser by profession, but I did do a beauty and makeup qualification as a hobby many years ago. When I was asked to help out at a 1940's food swap & wartime event at the Famous Green's Windmill and Science Centre, I jumped at the chance.
Friends (and strangers) have always complimented me on how I style my own hair in vintage styles, & I'm used to having quite a bit of practice on both friends & family.
I was confident that I could do a good job. I did learn a lot of styling techniques from my own mother, so when it was suggested that I should run a mini beauty parlour at the event, I knew I should give it a go
My Mini Beauty parlour was very low key deliberately to fit in with the wartime theme of the day
...& was just across from the historical, working windmill designed by the famous Nottingham born Mathematician.
Music & a food swap together with some great people, all entering into the spirit of the day.
(The food swap is a regular event at The Green's Windmill)
Street party on the cobbles
Tea & cakes
...even some incredible three dimensional dinosaur biscuits
(So OK, maybe not quite wartime, but the kiddies loved them)
Here's a selection of my fabulous customers

So pleased that all of my customers loved their transformation... & they've asked me back for their next event.
:-D
