The Latest Rage in Men’s Haircuts And Beards

Posted on by

Men’s haircuts have set a new path in fashion in the last two years. Sleek and clean-cut haircuts have moved in as the latest trend in men’s hairstyles. Pompadours were popular last year and now we are seeing several new versions of that style emerge.

No longer popular is the scruff of going without shaving for two days, goatee’s, and soul patches. The new trend for men and facial hair is a full, well groomed, beard.

Here is a little gallery of the newest trends for men.

Barber’s Back In The Day

Posted on by

This is one of my favorite pictures I put in my photo Museum of Hair History on my website. Those were the days when a barber could ride around and do haircuts right out on the street! If anyone has a photo of anything old they would like to add to the museum please let me know. All contributions are welcome. I can’t help loving all the old beauty items of barbering and hairdressing. It’s a link to my profession’s past and I find it fascinating.

Barbershop Quartet Day July 13

Posted on by

Did you know July 13th is Barbershop Music Appreciation Day and is a day to relax and enjoy the sweet voices of a Barbershop Quartet or the Sweet Adelines?Barbershop Harmony is four part, unaccompanied, close harmony singing. In most cases, barbershop music is taken from 20th (and 21st!) century popular music.

It can be sung by a quartet, with each singer singing her own part, or by larger groups of anything up to 200 singers – still singing in four parts. Barbershoppers do more than just sing…they entertain!

Edna Mae Anderson of Tulsa, Oklahoma invited some women to her home to sing on July 13, 1945. Their husbands were members of the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBSQSA). The ladies wanted to participate in the singing fun and enjoyment. On that evening, the “Sweet Adelines” were born. The group later became Sweet Adelines International., which now boasts hundreds of groups and thousands for members.

July 13th is a great day to listen to barbershop music.

The Origin of Barbershop Music Appreciation Day:

Barbershop Music Appreciation Day was created in 2005 by Sweet Adelines International. It was started to mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of their organization. This organization boasts over 300 choruses, and 15,000 singers.

Photo Museum of Hair History

Posted on by

I have always been fascinated by antique tools of the barbering and hairdressing trade and have been a collector most of my career. I decided to make a photo Museum of Hair History on my website of all the things I’ve collected or have come across.  This is my latest addition to my Museum. It’s a barber’s neck plate.

I’ve never seen one before, not even in old movies but they existed. I’m guessing the barber put water in it and used the plate to rinse the razor. If anyone knows any more, post on my facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/judydelucaauthor
