Gail Mahon – Where Romaya Hair Sanctuary stands today, many ladies toiled inside the shirt factory (Houstons 1944-2008) tuning out the noise of sewing machines with sounds of the radio, and daydreams of beauty salon visits in preparation for Friday night dancehalls. This sound box captures elements from the sixties combining flashes of sewing machines and songs played through a vintage hair dryer.
