press photo scan from 1955.

i know no more than what the caption, tacked onto the photo's back, says, tho' i suppose it's safe to assume the new look was meant for the new year: 1956.

Figaro. the Parisian hairstylist, has a lot better looking clientele than Figaro, the barber of Seville.

I think the hairdresser in question was more usually known in Paris simply as Guillaume. It was certainly one of the most fashionable hair salons in Paris at that time and I believe Chauvire was a regualr client - at least according to someone I knew who was an apprentice there.

Alymer is certainly quite correct here. He was the "hairdresser" of the time. In London. everybody had to go to Sassoon (so did I, had weekly appointment at his school - just as good, but at a fraction of the cost)
