description: The old-fashioned beauty parlor is rapidly vanishing in the wake of walk-in franchise haircutters and unisex styling salons. Where are the good old days full of weekly appointments, ladies' gossip, neighborhood chitchat, strong coffee, sweet cookies, and the powerful aroma of the traditional permanent wave? They're still alive in the Deep South, and they've been fully documented in this entertaining book by author Kathy Kemp and photographer Karim Shamsi-Basha.
