Ah, the things we endure to be beautiful! This perm machine from 1934 looks as if it belongs in a science-fiction story, but it was actually installed in some beauty salons. This is just one of a collection of strange gadgets and gizmos marketed to women (and men, too) in the pursuit of beauty between 1889 and today. See them all at Collector's Weekly. Link
