Two women in white stand on either side of a customer draped with a white smock seated in a metal chair at a small table. Note the hairstyle posters and the dye splashed on the wall all around the sink. The device by the sink was used to cradle the neck during hair washing and dyeing. The woman standing at right was also a manicurist and can be seen in a negative of an unidentified barber shop (976:0021:0419).
