"Three Salons at the seaside" film

[Maria Magenta]

This film from the 1990s about three hair salons in Blackpool is brilliant

BBC Two - Three Salons at the Seaside

A visit to three Blackpool hairdressing salons.

It reminded me of Hilda's salon in Small Heath where I used to be taken as a small girl. Are there any salons like this now, with hairdryers with hoods? Such a friendly community too, everyone knowing each other.

I watched this a year or so ago. I thought it was wonderful, and the salon it reminded me of was the one my Aunt Win went to on the Bordesley Green Road. I think it was called Sheila’s or Sylvia’s.

They always had names like that in the past! Hilda had previously had a sweet shop, but must have retrained, and re-opened as a salon.

I don't think any are still hairdressers although The Vanity Box has that name it looks like a house now.
Mary's Way is now a cafe and I am not sure about the other shop as it seems to have been changed completely.
