This picture was taken on kodachrome slide film in China in 1982. The slide has not survived the passage of time well and is covered in mould, too much to clean off in photoshop. But, it depicts a rather archaic and dangerous looking contraption, and i thought the grime on the slide augumented the antiquity of the scene, so I decided to upload it anyway.
LOL. I have seen a modern perm machine similar to the above with all the wires hanging down, currently used by a Korean hairdresser in her house in Melbourne,Australia . I am not game enough to try it : ))
I dont blame you; wet hair, funky wiring, a frazzle waiting to happen

What we will do for beauty! – I agree the mold damage does enhance the age of the image, well worth saving
Thanks Ciao. Wet hair, rusty clips and shoddy wiring, all for a few curls!

yikes! looks like a sci-fi film :)
I think it was a hairdresser, but i couldn’t read the sign…maybe it was a movie set, or re-education camp

Oh yes, an old perm machine! I’ve seen these before in some movies. Quite a beast of a machine to see in person.
