Beams R Us

A trip to the hairdresser is so much nicer when it's in a gorgeous old building like this one. Toni & Guy in Cambridge are very good at haircuts and highlights, of course, but what I really love are these wonderful beams - today glowing in the Spring sunshine. I'm not sure how old this building on Bridge Street is - surprisingly there seems to be no information on-line about it (Judith - help?) but I'm guessing 17th century (and not 1976 as it says, mysteriously, on the plaque outside!)
That sounds about right - The Pickerel is 16th century but this may not be quite so old. How lovely that they've restored it so beautifully - last time I went in it was typical hairdressery (luckily they failed to notice the headlice ;0/) but this is much better - almost worth defecting from Wacky Hair! Great shot with the beams on beams....

Looks beautiful. They have done a great job of combining the old of the building and the new of the salon.

@snowy LOL. Only a mother could say that, I was too scared to mention the metal hair do!

Terrific picture & love the way the reflection of the beams are mirrored in the mirror. You must spend some enjoyable times in there , I love having my hair done !

@farmboy9155 @snowy Oh no! I was hoping nobody would be able to make out those lovely foils in my hair! Now my secret is out!

I'm sure they are there for some amazing magnetic reason,nothing to do with colour or anything as mundane as that!!

What beautiful architecture--I love it! As long as you have to sit there, it's nice to have something pretty to look at

Great building, gives you more to look at while you are sitting and waiting for the foils to come out.

Great shot! Looks like a beautiful place! All of us ladies on 365 should pick a day and post our photos from the hair salon. What we go through for beauty... haha
