Additional Details

An uneven run of this very well put together trade magazine for the operators of African American beauty salons. A cultural "time capsule" in that the content goes far beyond simple hair-styles and other beauty related articles--- with all sorts of "gossip" about black women in the public eye. The 11th Anniversary issue for November, 1965 contains a spectacular fold-out of three detachable "Style Sheets to . . . Lift out and Display in your Shop." Beauty Trade ran from 1954 till 1976.
