Chewing Gum

This sub-collection is tagged "Chewing" for easy search and differentiation. It features rare or occasional instances in classic hairdressing footage where the client or stylist is seen chewing gum during services — typically as a casual, personal habit visible in moments of conversation, waiting, or working. In certain eras, chewing gum publicly and noticeably was considered trendy or cool, adding a period-specific cultural touch. This behavior serves solely as a distinctive visual cataloging marker in archival material, adding a subtle layer of everyday individuality to the salon environment (smocks, aprons, kimonos, overalls, nylons, high heels, boots, etc.). The focus remains on authentic hairdressing processes, with chewing noted purely for identification purposes.
