Rooms, tools and work at the chair

Wilder & Ash Hair Salon keeps this page as a picture of the trade it practises: stylists cutting at the chair, the basin and the hood dryer, a working salon floor and the shears that decide how a line sits. Each photograph is described plainly underneath.

The gallery

A museum hairdresser's room with a wooden counter, a mirror, a wig block and a chrome hood dryer on a stand.
Plate 01A hairdresser's room kept as it stood: a wooden counter, a wig block and a chrome hood dryer on a stand. The certificates on the wall were the whole of a salon's advertising.
A black backwash basin set into a wooden plinth, seen close up.
Plate 02A backwash basin. Every service on the board except the dry consultation starts here, and the water is run to temperature before anyone leans back.
A 1934 hairdressing room with two hood dryers on stands, tall mirrors and four chairs.
Plate 03A hairdressing room photographed in 1934. Two hood dryers on stands, four chairs and a plant: the setting shape has barely moved in ninety years, only the hardware.
Several pairs of haircutting shears arranged on a dark wooden rack.
Plate 04Haircutting shears on a rack. Blade length changes how a line sits, which is why a stylist keeps more than one pair within reach.
A bright salon floor with styling chairs, round mirrors, a wooden reception counter and basins at the back.
Plate 05A working salon floor with the basins at the back and the chairs spaced along the mirrors. Room between stations is what lets a stylist walk all the way round a cut before calling it finished.
Two stylists cutting at neighbouring stations, each client caped, reflected in the mirrors.
Plate 06Two stations running side by side. Each stylist has a client, a cape and a set of tools of their own, and the cut is checked in the mirror from both sides before it is called done.
A museum hairdressing room with dark wooden cabinetry and a mirrored cabinet behind a rope barrier.
Plate 07Dark cabinetry and a mirrored cabinet, kept behind a rope. A mirror at the station is not decoration: it is how the person in the chair sees the shape before it is finished.
A stylist shaping a seated client's hair with his fingers and a comb before cutting.
Plate 08The shape is felt before it is cut. A stylist lifts and drops the hair to find where it falls on its own, and that is where the first section is taken.

The column

A short note when the salon changes something

Holiday hours, a stylist joining or leaving, a price that moves. Two or three notes a year and nothing else.

The privacy notice explains what happens to the address.
