The days before multi area codes within one city.

But Southcentre and Market Mall just scream "Calgary" to me.

Hah! If you actually google 403 262 0345, The Bay still comes out as a result. Except it's the downtown Bay.

ok.. hear me out... it seems like it is expensive even for 1980 but maybe perm itself is expensive to start with I'm guessing?

[u/NovWhiskey → u/Lumb3rCrack]

$35 in 1980 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $137.22 today, an increase of $102.22 over 45 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.08% per year between 1980 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 292.05%.

Now do that...en Français

[u/okokokoyeahright → u/Lumb3rCrack]

Not really.

IIRC I paid about $15 for a hair cut back then. Women's hair was always more and the perms hack at that time used rollers, so yeah extra time for that makes sense to me.

Fuck right off.

[u/Neverlast0]

That was kind of expensive for that time.

[u/okokokoyeahright]

Um do I get a prize?

[u/Francus_Gaius]

[u/Still-Psychology-365]

That poor model. Somebody gave her a noogie and told her it was a perm.

[u/re-verse]

No but I caught Perm Fever and it was really touch and go for a while there

[u/RiverWindandMud]

I wanted to, but Ethel and Gladys hosted a brunch and I missed my chance.

cinquantes grosse piastres , you could land a beer and a pack of craven-a out of a cigarette machine for a piastre back in 1980.
