Media Reviews

Offers an unusually comprehensive look at a significant twentieth-century industry and female preoccupation. - American Historical Review ,

With verve, sophistication, and imagination, Julie Willett has discovered the roots of today's hair-care industry in separate searches by African American and Euro-American women for dignified labor, community advancement, and personal beautification. After Permanent Waves, getting your hair done will never be the same again--nor will the study of the shopfloor, professionalization, or the culture of consumption. -Eileen Boris, University of Virgina

Combines an evocative portrait of the world of small town beauty shops with a provocative analysis of the hairdressing industry's racial, class, and gender faultlines. Julie Willett explores both the promises of a skilled profession for individual women, white and black, and the realities of low wages, long hours, segregated markets, and assembly-line salons. Covering the entire sweep from the early twentieth century through the present day, this book deserves a prominent, and permanent, place on the reading lists of women's and labor historians. -Nancy Hewitt, The State University of New Jersey, Rutgers

A cut above most workplace histories. Looking at the separate but sometimes overlapping development of European and African-American hairdressing from the early twentieth century to the present, Willett shows how race shaped different trajectories for black and white salons. - Lingua Franca ,

Refreshing to read a history so firmly historicized and grounded in working-class and Afro-American history. - Journal of Social History ,
