    Everyone who says they made her look like a grandmother is thinking from a modern point of view. THAT was the style for the 60s, it was considered fashionable. Now it's the same people who still wear those styles who are old ladies now.
    They didn't turn her into a frumpy old lady they turned her into someone fashionable with the hair and style of clothes women would wear back then.

      I thought they should have kept her hair simple in the front. She was beautiful in just a towel wrapped around her hair; if they had just pulled her hair back and kept the fancy stuff in the back, it would have been 10x better. It's almost like they tried to hide her face for some reason. Whatever they did changed the whole shape of her face, and not for the better.

      "They" really hated beatniks, who were seen as rebellious and dangerous youth. The media of the time tried to shame everyone into a mainstream lifestyle. That narrator was being sooo snarky, suggesting that the young woman was dirty and unkempt. She was perfect , of course!

      Narrator's misnomer, "beatnik." Then "beatnik" hair was straight and long, even down to the waist. This girl arrives at the salon with a (then new, now classic) hairstyle that is bouffant on top and flipped up at ends, which hit conservatively at her shoulders. Her only "beatnik" insignium was perhaps her peace-sign neck pendant.

    For anyone saying this style makes her look old: that is from a modern perspective. I see pictures of my grandma wearing similar styles when she was a teenager. It seems old now, but at the time it was just what you wore if you wanted to seem fashionable and up to date.

And whats 'in' right now will be be mocked by the next generation. Its inevitable.
