trend becoming more and more popular throughout the country salons catering to the vanity of the male of the species are opening up. The latest of these is the Christopher Joyce barber shop in New York which except for the discretely striped barber pole bears little resemblance to the conventional barber shop. Inside, men are treated to services that rival those for women: hair coloring, shampoo, cutting and styling, facials, pedicures and manicures.

"No one has catered to men over here," says Joyce Markson, under whose guiding hand the shop opened. "Men have had this done for them in Europe for years," she added. "After all it was men who used to wear the perfume, elegant clothes and powdered wigs. I think some of this is coming back. Men are looking for a place that offers them a real hair styling."

The barber shop is small but

efficiently arranged. Opposite the barber chairs are three small enclosures where men are fitted for hair pieces. Mrs. Markson has made several innovations. She has put in shampoo bowls like those used for women. "In most barber shops men stand and lean over the basin," she says. "This way they can lean back comfortably for a shampoo."

At one side is a Dow Jones news ticker so that the men so inclined may keep up with any new stock market developments. Mrs. Markson has also supplied the shop with an oxygen tank to cure hangovers. "It's better than any tomato juice or raw eggs," she says. "After a morning facial and some oxygen, that hangover is gone."

How does she get her customers? "The only place we've advertised is in a woman's magazine and we got a terrific response-women sent their husbands in." We don't believe that!
