Pages past, Aug. 22: 'Styling headquarters' had newest hair trends

On this date ...

1966: Robearl's, located at 21st and Thornton streets, had become known as “the hair styling headquarters for Clovis,” according to a report on the Business Review and Forecast page in the Clovis News-Journal.

Robin Winton and Earline Strand were owners and operators of the shop, offering expert styling, the finest in hair cosmetics and conditioners, permanents and hair coloring.

“The new trends are the vogue now, and the Sasoon cut and Mutation coloring, a delicately blended tri-tone coloring of one shade, are becoming more and more popular here,” the article reported.

Carolyn Young, a graduate of Curry County Beauty College, specialized in French cuts and teenage hair styling. Helen Harvey styled hair “to suit your personality.” Winton and Strand, also stylists, were members of the National Hairdressers Association.

In addition to hair care, Robearl's featured a complete line of wigs, wiglets and hairpieces.
