Mom Getting Her Hair Teased at Besame Beauty Salon North Massapequa, NY, June 1976

‘My mother Sunny (Sylvia) Meisler’s weekly luxury ritual was going to the beauty parlour. There, she would relax, BS, gossip and laugh with the hairdressers and neighbours while getting her hair and nails done. My future mother-in-law Kathleen O’Brien went to the same salon. Mom and the hairdressers didn’t hesitate when I asked to photograph a day at the salon. They all had a tremendous sense of humour’.
