This shop is part of a Victorian, three-storey commercial building erected in 1887. Past businesses have included Boots & Gommerson Undertakers (1884-1900), a saddlery (early 1900s) and Lownds Boot Repairers (1940s).

For pin curls, Newtownites in the 1920s paid 2/6 ($8 today), but for £2/10 ($160 today) hairdressers of the day could do 'semi-transformations’ (partial wigs).

This salon uses vegan hair dyes.
