Outdated

I have been going to the same hair salon for 30 years. After a change of management all of the stylists relocated a block away to an old established beauty parlor. There is a difference between a salon and a beauty parlor. The new beauty parlor still has the old fashioned hair dryers that look like they are from the 1950's. They are the kind that completely cover your head and almost make you deaf from the whooshing of hot air that circulates around your ears. I do not mind the new place as it is around the corner from my house. When I go there it brings back memories of accompanying my mother to have her hair done when I was 5. The look and the smell are the same. The clientele there is also older. No one has their natural hair color and most have just given up and let it go white. Some patrons come in using walkers. I feel comfortable and out of place, at the same time.
