That chair is on rollers
Did Phyllis get rolled from one station to another?
Francois de Paris was a pretty upscale establishment. On April 5, 1960, it got a mention in Eleanor Roosevelt's column, My Day, for hosting a benefit for the American Cancer Fund and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute. I found an address of 37 West 8th Street, putting it near Greenwich Village and Washington Square Park.
Under the hood!
My mom had one of those floor standing hair dryers she got from a beauty parlor in the 1960s. Took longer then you'd think for a drying session. Had a three speed switch on the end of a cord.
As a ten year old it was fun to make noises up into the echoes of the bell. When she wasn't in there, of course!
