You know what they say...

...big hair, even bigger earrings.   On loan from her friend's brothers bedroom. 

Take Pride in the Height of your Hair

Pictured above is Eunice Christine Tiroff, a familiar face and head of hair around Lubbock, Texas.  Mrs. Tiroff manned the tea cart at Furr's Cafeteria and featured in a 1992 Texas Monthly article entitled "Hooray for Big Hair"  for her trademark teased tresses. 

Better known as "Chris," she passed in 2012, her obituary can be reached through the following link: Eunice Tiroff

We here at the Hair Hall of Fame salute this woman and her dedication to her work and to style which followed no trend but her own.  As such, she is hereby bestowed with the honor of Hair Hall of Fame Salon of Honor, our second highest accolade.

For those of you who are curious what the highest honor is, it in the HHoF Court of Honor, which Norma Desmond oversees.  How exclusive is this Court of Honor, reserved for the hairstylists that create only the best?  It is so exclusive that Norma has yet to admit anyone, save his own name.

Nevertheless: Eunice Christine Tiroff: Salute!

Audry Hepburn was larger than life

But her hair could be even bigger. Oh, yeah, that's Rex Harrison.

Listen!

Challenging Client #8: the Perils of Power

Notre chère cliente, the one and only Mme. Chantal Biya, First Lady of Cameroon, is perhaps the only person in history whose crowning glory represents every single aspect of the subject covered in the title song from Hair.  
Eventually, we had to give her up; the long weekly flights to Yaoundé for her maintenance wash and sets were bad enough, but we simply lost patience with having to explain to her that there just weren't any more techniques we hadn't already tried.  Hers is in fact the world's only straightened, stripped, dyed, permed, ironed, layored, razored, texturized, up, down, marceled, and ruthlessly curled 'do in history.  But she always wants more...
