As I was unpacking boxes this weekend I ran across a hairnet still in its original package.Vintage copy always makes me smile. Okay, I get The Final Touch of Loveliness, although I am reluctant to think that even back then a hairnet was considered lovely. What I don't understand is the tag line Human Style. Does that mean they made other styles, and if so, for who? Farm animals? Family cats? Aliens?
The front of the package may be a bit confusing, but the guarantee on the back is very clear. Don't see too many companies these days guaranteeing their product to be Perfect!
Would love to hear if you are as puzzled as I am or if you have read any vintage copy that makes you smile!
Cheers,
Ki

That is peculiar. I would love to see the farm style, tehe.
Interesting indeed! How can a WHITE super fine mesh hairnet be invisible also? Another thing to ponder on.
No idea what "human style" means but it just blew me back to the days of middle school, helping in the cafeteria and having to put on a hairnet - yikes!
(....I only did it to get free lunch so I wouldn't have to carry that horrible plaid lunch box Mom bought me instead of the cool Snoopy one that I wanted.)

Off to book a therapy session...
<:-O
Maybe its like a hat net that women used to use to look fancy. That is the only thing I could come up with other than that sounds really strange huh? lol
Were hairnets ever fashionable?
Wow, do I love vintage packaging!! It always makes me laugh! Human style indeed!=)

Love that it's 'human style'. I imagine a lady with her net-n-curlers hoovering her oh-so-50s 'houde of the future'... with perchance a hairnetted poodle relaxing in its pink basket..? 'Poodle style'- shaped to fit an entire pooch inside.
And Ive never seen hair styled in a "net"! Yes, I'm blonde, but just how would you get it to look like a net? You bring up a good point! It's always fun to laugh at old advertising. Think anyone believed it? Haha! Karen
I've certainly read some current copy which makes me wonder. A recent ad for a clothing company read, "20% off all ladies!" Hmmm...? In regard to the beautiful product you found, I'm picturing a lovely little tabby, circa 1955, poised on a plastic-covered sofa...wearing an itty bitty hairnet...with matching gloves. "The Purrfect Hairnet for your Feline!"
Great find!

Yeah...when I read "human style" I wondered...hmmm? I thought it was funny too! Thanks for the smile.
Too funny! A guarantee on a hair net - that is such a disposable item today- love it!
The little old ladies liked having them put on after their hair was done in the beauty salon. I think maybe it was called Human Style because of there being no elastic around the face so it(the net) blended with the hairstyle so it wasn't that noticable. I think they also came in colors, white, blonde, brown, black. And no I'm not a little old lady, but I did work in a salon.

Too bad you were unable to find the 'Chimpanzee Style'...
It's invisible, but it's white.
Seems a bit of a contradiction to me.
Very funny.

Maybe an alien style hair net would be the ultimate find! I will be on the look out. :)
Really interesting blog.I would like to see the farm style. According to me it was called Human Style because of there being no elastic.

Yes, this did bring a big smile to my face. Vintage copy is always so entertaining. Most of the time it's not what they say, it's how they say it. So prim and proper.
That is very funny. You should put it on for laughs.
