Raymond - the hairstylist better known as "Teasie-Weasie" - describes the hairstyle himself. He calls it "Spring". Shot of Raymond who is incredibly dapper, styling the woman's hair.

He points out that it has a "soft bolster fringe" and a "modified cubic line". L/S of Raymond ("Teasie-Weasie") working on another woman's hair.

In this way the hair stylist and artist in every sense makes his own valuable contribution to this colorful world!" | |
