Blackpool hair salons become cult icons thanks to obscure 90s documentary Three Salons at the Seaside
Putting 'three hair salons in Blackpool' and 'cult following' in the same sentence may come as a surprise to most of us.
It is proving to be the ultimate nostalgic trip down memory lane for viewers on iPlayer, who have become fascinated by the clients' split ends and scenes that have been described as like a "Victoria Wood sketch".Filmed in 1994, the programme follows the elderly community who carry on their daily lives, seemingly oblivious to the thousands of tourists on its doorstep. It centres on salons Tricia's, Mary's Way and Vanity Box.
Some of the snippets of conversations will warm your heart, make you laugh and also lead you to you grumble at the TV. There's inane tales of new windows, staff turnover at the local launderette, takeaway meals, debates about plastic surgery and a look into 90s-era beauty routines and fashion trends.
"Beautifully observed. Those ladies..."Patricia Jones wrote on Twitter, while Kate Hampton replied: "It’s magic isn’t it."
