Equipment, Manual Hair Clippers, 1950s

Historical information

While barber shops were the commercial premises where men and boys had their hair cut, the number of hair clippers in the Kew Historical Society's collection would indicate that frequently hair clipping was carried out in homes in the pre and post war period. Manual hair clippers were readily available for purchase. Electrical clippers were presumably used in barber shops.
