Evelyn says, "A decoction of the rind of the tree tinctures hair of a golden colour, esteemed a beauty in some countries." It would be entertaining to know if this is the foundation of the "auricomous fluids" advertised by hair-dressers! Amongst "little woods" the dearest of all to the school-boy must surely be the hazel-copse! It is, however, long lived, and of luxuriant growth.
Geoffrin also assumed the tone of high life, which always treats men of learning, poets and artists, as if they were mantua-makers or hair-dressers; and which must ever value social tact and the tone which is only to be acquired in good society, higher than all studies and arts upon which any one possessed of these properties is in a condition to pass judgment without having spent any time in their investigation.
Jasmin recited some of his poems before the professors and students at the college, and at other places of public instruction. Then came banquets aristocratic and popular and, as usual, a banquet of the hair-dressers. There was quite an ovation in the city while he remained there. But other calls awaited Jasmin.
Scarcely had Jasmin left the palace when he wrote to his friend Madame de Virens, at Agen: "On that noble face I could see, beneath the smile, the expression of sadness; so that from to-day I can no longer say: 'Happy as a King." Another entertainment, quite in contrast with his visit to the King, was the banquet which Jasmin received from the barbers and hair-dressers of Paris.
And as William scanned their disconcerted faces clerks, hair-dressers, waiters from the innumerable eating houses he could not help thinking that perhaps more than one of them had taken money that did not belong to them to back Ben Jonson.
The inevitable eye-glass was not forgotten. As for the hat, it was precisely the same in which Carle Vernet painted his dandy of the Directory. When these things were ready, Morgan waited with seeming impatience. At the end of five minutes he rang the bell. A waiter appeared. "Hasn't the wig-maker come?" asked Morgan. In those days wig-makers were not yet called hair-dressers.
In the cheap taverns hair-dressers, markers, clerks, functionaries and choristers surrounded him like vultures; and among these people he always felt better freer. In these he saw plain people, not so monstrously deformed and distorted as that "clean society" of the elegant restaurants; these were less depraved, cleverer, better understood by him.
Milliners are employed in the millinery department and fitters and dressmakers in the alteration departments. Manicurists and hair-dressers carry on their special occupations, and waitresses are employed in the store lunchroom or restaurant. Trained nurses have positions in the store hospital and visit employees in their homes.
At one time I thought hair was given us only to furnish a profession to hair-dressers; just as we wear artificial flowers to support the flower-makers." "Upon my word, it is not uninteresting. There is always some haute nouveauté in economy. The ways of depriving one's self are infinite. There is wine, now." "Not own your residence! As soon not own your tomb as your residence!
When David shed his curls at the hair-dressers, I am told, he said good-bye to them without a tremor, though his mother has never been quite the same bright creature since; so he despises the sheep as they run from their shearer, and calls out tauntingly, 'Cowardy, cowardy custard! But when the man grips them between his legs David shakes a fist at him for using such big scissors.
