Archive of 1960s Hair Color Swatch Books & Salon Guides

Item #1533

A dazzling set of twelve original salon hair color guides and swatch books from the 1960s — complete with mounted hair samples, glamorous models, and bold mid-century graphics.

Includes:

Rayette “Luster Tint / Luster Tone” fold-out swatch book (Basic Shades, Fashion Reds, Pastel Toners).

Clairol “High Fashion Colors” and Red Fashion Colors booklets, plus a rare TRESemmé Tint Line card.

Wella “Color Charm” spiral-bound swatch book, Extra Mild Toners guide, and Kolestrol Treatments leaflet.

Roux price list (1966), Professional Cosmetics brochure, and striking die-cut circular swatch wheel.

L’Oréal Imédia Petite fold-out swatch guide (with hairdresser’s handwritten notes).

Some of the pieces show moderate handling wear (spine wear, scuffing, annotations), but most retain complete and intact hair swatches — the central value for study and display.

A rare and visually stunning archive — ideal for collectors of cosmetic history, advertising design, or mid-century ephemera.
