Irene’s Beauty Shop …
Here are several panorama photographs that my father made with the Wide-Lux camera that he had. I know nothing about this business, Irene’s Beauty Shop, so anything that anyone can share with us is appreciated. These were made back in the 1950’s sometime. Here is another view …
This obviously is the front of the store and the other photo showed the back where all of the “stylists” worked. Back in the 1950’s I believed that they were called ” beauticians” then and you very rarely hear that word mentioned today … at least I have not heard anyone say it in the last 20 years or so, maybe more. If anyone remembers ” Irene’s Beauty Shop – Store “, please share it with us. Thanks for looking …

Bill –
Thanks for the location … I thought it was downtown somewhere and not off of Twelfth Avenue. Since this business was before my time ( and I am not sure what my time really is ) I appreciate you taking the time to looking it up and telling us.

Irene’s was located next to Reynalds Music House at 36 E. Garden St. The building was torn down in the late 1970’s when the I-110 connector was installed allowing Jefferson St. to go North to Chase St. I used to get my hair cut there by Jane Smith.

Thanks for that Nilo … I was wondering where that place used to be. I think that the use of the wide angle camera, Wide-Lux, was what made those photos interesting, otherwise, they just looked like the interior of another business. Nice hearing from you and thanks for the comment … Frank
