East London Hairdressers in the Late-1980s and Early 1990s by Peter Marshall

What haircut would you choose in an East London hairdresser in the late 1980s and early 1990s? Mullet, Mohawk, Jheri curls, flattops, or perhaps hi-top fades or Slicked Back Hair. Women’s hair was bouffant big, moussed, soft, puffy, and all about volume. During the middle and late 1980s, it was unfashionable to part either men’s or women’s hair as the perm made the center parting look unattractive.

Photographer Peter Marshall was walking around East London, capturing photographs of everything, and he also photographed the hairdressers of East London in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
