A couple of days ago I read some messages by Ken from San Francisco and some other posters about Unisex salons in the early 1970s and was in a hurry to get out the door so I did not have a chance to respond.
I was born during the 1970s so my recollection of that decade is almost next to nothing, but I have heard many things from my parents generation claiming that the 1970s were a great era to be in your 20's and 30's.
I was really surprised that "shoulder length" would have been acceptable for businessmen when it seems we have reverted back to the 1950s ideal of a "businessman's haircut" which is the atypical short above the ears and closely cropped style.
also, it seems that even the atypical salons have gravitated towards doing barbershop haircuts and forgotten how to do some of those styles that Ken and the others mentioned which were quite popular 40 years ago.
it would be nice if the average salon would learn to do those styles again especially for guys who prefer longer styles and not closely cropped haircuts that they could pay a lot less for at the run of the mill barbershop.
it would be nice to know if there are such salons in existence today that cater to the needs of Men who want longer manes.
