Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated April 14, 1962 reads, "Valley women are following the lead of the international swing to fashion wigs. Nowadays if you want to become a blonde, even your hairdresser doesn't have to know... just your wigmaker. Prices range from $79.50 for imported human hair coifs and they're as easy and comfortable to wear as a new spring chapeau. Here Jack Nesoff, Burbank hair stylist, demonstrates the change wrought in one of his customers... a brunette who wanted to see for herself if blondes really do have more fun!"; See image #00130699 for additional photo in this series.
