Ah, the things we endure to be beautiful! This perm machine from 1934 looks as if it belongs in a science-fiction story, but it was actually installed in some beauty salons. This is just one of a collection of strange gadgets and gizmos marketed to women (and men, too) in the pursuit of beauty between 1889 and today. See them all at Collector's Weekly. Link
Ha! That's awesome. What goes around, comes around, huh?
