Mayfair, London.
L/S of beatnik girl, Stephanie Beaumont, walking down a London street clad in leather jacket and jeans. Narrator tells us that she's "... passing a Mayfair beauty parlour, where smart chic women pretty themselves up. No place for her - or is it ?." She looks at the entrance of the beauty parlour, stubs out her cigarette and enters. M/S of Stephanie being seated in a very posh looking parlour. Two beauticians stand over her deciding what they can do with this beatnik. C/U of eggs being cracked open and put into a bowl, the narrator informs us that they are not to provide the beatnik with a "...a good square meal .." but to make "...a lather that will condition your hair." We next see Stephanie's head over the back of a sink as the egg yolk in rubbed in.
M/S Stephanie walks into shot aided by two beautician assistants. Her hair is now in curlers and net, she lies down on a couch and is covered by a blanket. Now the real treatment begins. We see various C/U shots of Stephanie lying on the couch. She is first treated to a face massage, then pads are placed over her eyes and then the plastic mask is added. We see an assistant rubbing and brushing various liquids and creams into Stephanie's face. Which we are told are are actually ".. anti wrinkle lotion and warm wax..." The mask is removed, and she is then treated to an "oxylation spray" before shiny pink lipstick is added.
C/U shot of Stephanie's reflection in the mirror, her hair is now in a bouffant style and is being given the finishing touches by an assistant. Hairspray is added - Stephanie smiles obviously pleased with her new hair do. M/S Stephanie walks into a very stately looking room with a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling. She is wearing a very glamorous shiny looking outfit. She talks with an assistant perhaps discussing about her new fashionable look. L/S She places a shawl around her shoulders and begins to walk downstairs and smiles. The transformation from beatnik to beatnik beauty.
Note: this is a FAB story - JH.

“By now you’d give anything to be back in your leather jacket with your unkempt hair, wouldn’t you?” The narrator is giving more shade than a forest.
omar chandler 😂😂😂
Lol right? The disdain in his voice every time he says the word "beatnik"
Lol
Why do her eyes look so dead inside once they finish?
Dang the roasts tho jee,
they made a rebellious teen look 35 with 3 kids
A teen?
sis please Well said ! ♥️
Cute to boring.
Figure is too good to have had 3 kids.
@Greg Hamilton It looks old and boring. Fine for a 40 year old. But not a young woman.
I lost it at: "to convince the world thath they really are beautiful" 😂😂😂
😂
Me too 😂😂
My favourite part was "it's all part of the deception of a modern woman's life" 😂
Me too
I literally just came to see if anyone else did 😂💀
This narrator is shady af 😂😂😂
Throwing major shade
It's like he's saying women wanting to look good is shameful and vain.
Vintage shade > modern shade
The body LMFAOOO
Very sus.
I love the narrator's condecending tone throughout the video.
I didn't get that from the narrator 🤔
Wut
@@marywebb9127 Huh? What do they sound like to you? Friendly? It would be hard to imagine any words or tone MORE condescending.
Good lord, could he be more pompous?
Haha ik i friggin love it
2:11 the face of “oh god, what have I done”
M T A LOL
Buhahaha!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
Looks like acne doesn't exist back in the 60s
Edit: i wasnt being serious.
Not every teen has acne.
he's my sun he makes me shine it didn’t women ate better had better quality air food, natural skin creams we eat nothing but chemical filled foods put nothing but toxins on our skin and breath pollution that make our skin horrible now
Nine None They used lead , arsenic and other poisonous substances back then too so we’re pretty lucky that our makeup isn’t poisonous ☠️
jetta bear It’s still better today because we’re aware of things that we’re not supposed to put on our faces, for example “radium”
Nine None lol bihhhhhh ur dumb asf it existed back then ugly
She went from a beautiful young girl to a frumpy middle aged woman.
Heliotrope Sunset no she came out a classy young woman with the potential to go far in the world. Remember you got to look the part to succeed in this world.
She looked like a 40 year old with a granny hair cut😂😂😂
@@Nofretari no
Nofretari someone’s appearance shouldn’t define how ‘classy’ or how much potential they have. Stop being so closed minded
Nofretari shutup incel
She was beautiful before AND after. She was beautiful, period.
She went from an attractive girl to a classy Dame.
@@marywebb9127 No, and she's not titled, so it's not "Dame". If you mean the vernacular word "dame", it's not a compliment anymore. Not since about the 1950s. Are you actually an 80 year old guy?
She is very beautiful it's just the hairstyle and the clothes are the style of an old woman. She'd look amazing with her hair down
@@bonniemariedavis2909 it has a different implication in American English
White Knighting.
I need that eye liner tutorial
At the beginning, the black was much better than the anemic yuck stuff they put on at the end. Same with the lippy and eye shadow ghastliness they subjected her to.
1k like 💗
@@MarioGonzalez-vf1sm ♥️
Clicked on the video hoping to see one!
Her eye liner before the makeover was perfect
I don't like the hairdo but her eyeliner, eyebrows and the lipstick are fabulous.
Yeah that lip shade is nice!
The hairdo makes her look older and not some childish girl! I wish hairstyles like that were back. Im a 30 year old woman who loves this!
I thought they should have kept her hair simple in the front. She was beautiful in just a towel wrapped around her hair; if they had just pulled her hair back and kept the fancy stuff in the back, it would have been 10x better. It's almost like they tried to hide her face for some reason. Whatever they did changed the whole shape of her face, and not for the better.
I agree!
I love the colors of the nail polish and the lipstick.
"Genuine elegance" apparently means adding 20 years to your face
Etevaldo Skylab umm not really if you think about it
no it's just the fashion in the 60's
Hahaha.. yeah
I think men in the 60's preferred mature and classy looking women.
@Etevaldo Skylab this is too true. The amount of 13 year old girls trying to look 25 is disturbing😬
A cross between Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn..so beautiful !
👍
YES
look at you talking like you kmows your history with vintage times.
And Nastasia Kinski
Would smash
The makeup is gorgeous on her but the hair and clothes make her appear older lol
She wants to look like a woman not a kid.
@@marywebb9127 She's about 17; why? What's a "kid", then, anyway? What's a "kid" now? What's wrong with being a "kid"? Was she going for a job interview? Wouldn't get it looking like she was wearing her mother's clothes and was 40, not 17.
@Judihatemmoharram Judihatemmoharram I happen to like the 1950's and early 60's fashion. Dita Von Teese dresses like this daily and no one calls her look "Grandma"!
@@bonniemariedavis2909 You need to stop inhaling all that cat urine in your house cause it's effecting your brain!
@Mary Webb LMFAO sorry, but Dita Von Teese only dresses in a 1940’s style lol
Everyone who says they made her look like a grandmother is thinking from a modern point of view. THAT was the style for the 60s, it was considered fashionable. Now it's the same people who still wear those styles who are old ladies now.
They didn't turn her into a frumpy old lady they turned her into someone fashionable with the hair and style of clothes women would wear back then.
This should get pinned. Like I don't like what she looked after BUT I get that it was the style for women then. I guess the idea of teenagers and young adults are still in there infancy.
Exactly. This is what I say. I wear vintage. People tell me I look like a grandma. When what I only do is to wear clothes they wore when they were young!
You are exactly right. I have a picture of my great grandmother in which she looks to be in her 40s, but she was only 16. It is her clothing and hairstyle that causes her look older to modern eyes.
Ohh
Have you forgotten about Marilyn Monroe? literally died a year before this was made??? her style was impeccable. This is not us looking at it from a modern point of view.. they did her wrong..
Her face is absolutely gorgeous! The hairdo was hideous, though! I love these old beauty salon videos.....
Her skin is perfect! 😩😫
Mina M her brows too 😩😩
Her beautiful face also😭😂
She looks like Sophia Loren
Yes, and Her Majesty Elizabeth the second (lookalike) greets her at the end.
Yes a young Sofia Loren
I was looking for this comment
Right after they pulled off the wax mask and she smiled, I thought she kind of looked like Anne Hathaway as well.
Amanda darchiville I was just searching the comments to see if anyone else saw the resemblance(s) :D
She is literally gorgeous!! The look in the beginning was EVERYTHINGGGG.
From teenager to grandmother in 3 minutes. Wow.
Hahaha........
She looks prettier with a beehive bun style
🤣
To be fair, that style was probably tres chic and modern back in the 60s lol
Bit*h, a 35 yr old with 3 kids will wear uggs, look frump and eat potato chips complaining about hot looking women who waited before having kids and enjoyed her youth. Women of these days looks clean, proper and respectable. Today we see all a bunch of frustrated fat unattractive as*es.
her eyeliner is on POINT
Her skin is absolutely flawless!!
Well, when you start out looking like Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren you can't help but look beautiful
She really resembled Sophia Loren by the end!
But her face is round and squat…
I would love for all the ladies from this video to see our reactions now. They’d probably be shocked by how many of us prefer the beatnik look 😆
they'd probably not, because they were all closet beatniks, as we all should be. :)
I don't!
LeeLee G. Not me it looked dirty and unkempt too me.
Nofretari to me looking 35 years old when you 17 looks bad
@@Nofretari you don't have taste
These are the kind of high end full service beauty salons I would always see in old movies. Only available in major cities like, London, New York, and Beverly Hills.
Her eyeliner is top notch
Her eyes with that makeup look mesmerizing
That eyeliner, those brows, that beauty, don't care for the makeover that lady is gorgeous and they made her look really elegant. Classic beauty at it's finest.
Have you had your eyes tested lately? they made her look like a grandmother.
@@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws That's no grandmother...that was the style back in the 50s..
Honestly I think everything about her hair and makeup is completely perfect and accurate for her age in the early 60s. but that dinner suit is a bit mature for her ... she needs something a bit younger... maybe a fitted spaghetti strap cocktail dress in a teal satin with matching pumps and gold accessories ... it would make all the difference and she’d look her age
Definitely sleeveless or off-the-shoulder, but I don't think they had done spaghetti straps yet, not in a main garment anyway.
I really dig the way she looked before 😭🖤
This video is a perfect example of why you should just be yourself and go with your own style
like her eyeliner was PERFECT....
..and still not forget elegance and class!
most of the losers nowadays didnt even have style
The makeup is gorgeous. I think the hairstyle just doesn't suit her face by today's standards.
I think the makeup is awful - that eye shadow is hideous with her coloring; the lipstick is worse than none at all, and her hair is godawful.
@@bonniemariedavis2909 imagine judging this bad.
She looked amazing with her look with the leather jacket and eyeliner it really showed her bone structure
@Crow lol yeah that's all it is, changing hair fashions! I didn't get any notifications on this thread until today.
@@lisavanderpump7475 I agree!
Her eyeliner was so good tho
gawd is everyone non 80´s 90´s generation styled like the 80´s 90´s now
“Look at that beatnik girl” 😂😂 this narrator is Wildin yoooo
Love the sharpness of the film. You could almost feel the colors.
What a beautiful girl oh my gosh she's just gorgeous
This was the style back then guys, my Nana wore a ensemble liked that back in the 60's when she was young. She was quite a beauty as well.
Just because it's not modern doesn't make it ugly.
She looks like she aged 10 years after the makeover...not really a likeable look if you ask me
Fae Andal that was being beautiful and attractive in those times... My grandmother in the 60s was 17 but looked like a 30 year old woman. She dressed and had a hairstyle just like in the video.
How many girls grew up thinking they were unattractive, not realizing "the look" at the time, just wasn't flattering for them.
She looks like classy broad not like kid going through childish rebellion.
@@MS-ly4mx Actually, the hairstyle stucked for her; the clothing was also an appallingly bad choice for her, and her makeup was terrible when re-done at the end. She looked 25 years older than when she arrived.
@@marywebb9127 Nothing classy about anything they did to her.
I live how clean the salon is. Nowadays you couldn't pay me to let them wrap me up in a salon blanket. Nothing is kept properly clean, washed or ironed anymore. Usually, things are just wiped down with antiseptic wipes, leaving everything smeary.
Must be the location. The JC penny's and great clips near me are cleaner than the restaurant I work in
She was beautiful! Reminds me of Isabella Rosellini even without make-up. I think the skincare products with the letters HR were by Helen Rubenstein.
Her skin is unreal! She's beautiful omg!
She looks like combination of Audrey and Sophia Loren
* Audrey Hepburn
I can't tell if the narrator was being sarcastic the whole or not...
I feel like that's something all those old timey narrators had in common. They're either sarcastic or condescending as heck xD
Back then it was a time where girls were still looked at as less then so a guy would be condescending at that time period
"They" really hated beatniks, who were seen as rebellious and dangerous youth. The media of the time tried to shame everyone into a mainstream lifestyle. That narrator was being sooo snarky, suggesting that the young woman was dirty and unkempt. She was perfect , of course!
i love vintage videos, its like time travel!! thanks for sharing :)
She was beautiful even before the "makeover".
She looked badass, fun and actually her age before all of this
2:12
I'm finally dead inside
Whoa! This was amazing!
I say that this channel is just like a wonderful window to the past! ❤
how did 1963 already have such good camera quality
That eyeliner was killer
"These old ladies specialize in teaching teenagers how to look like old ladies. Relax, they'll make an old lady out of you, yet."
I just love the way how respectable people were back than. Look how she is following her even after her finished and how she thanks her in return . Just want that love and peace ✌️ respect whatever you call it back . Wish I could have seen that . We grow up not even knowing or greeting our neighbors poor me 🙄😉🤭
VERY NICE! LOVELY! I enjoyed it very much! Thanks!
If you look up the apparent beatnik's name, Stephanie Beaumont, on IMDb, you'll find that she was an actress who had a regular part in the TV series "Compact" at the time this was made.
I wonder what happened to her after her career in acting. There don't seem to be a good amount of information on her on the internet.
Very beautiful document...Great respect 🕊️
She looked like a young Sophia Loren in the "before". I think the "after" made her look old.
Makeup looks STUNNING but hairdo and clothes aged her up 20 years
uh your avatar raiding our cultures is not okay ?
The quality of this video 👌🏾
I enjoyed every second out of this
Old is gold ❤ I love this channel 💛
So great, I love it!
What a beautiful eyebrows! They're amazing
Love how the narrator kept throwing subtle shade 😂😂😂
subtle? 🤣 He was downright beastly, and not in a fun way lol.
I thought shade was subtle by definition? This bloke was just blatantly a corporate beatnik-hater, and so openly rude.
She looked gorgeous and turned absolutely gorgeous as well after!
She has such a beautiful porcelain skin.. even the ladies tending her look beautiful😍
She was an incredibly beautiful woman, no matter the look and not greasy or unkempt as a beatnik, but after they'd finished with her, she looked like they'd turned her into her mother!
I have always wanted to see inside of a Helena Rubinstein salon of this era! Her famous paraffin wax mask gave it away, not to mention every product is HR. This is the London location, obviously. Still haven’t found any footage of the original NYC salon.
HILARIOUS!!
One has to wonder what this beatnik girl’s thought process was walking into this salon...”I don’t look stiff enough.”
Narrator's misnomer, "beatnik." Then "beatnik" hair was straight and long, even down to the waist. This girl arrives at the salon with a (then new, now classic) hairstyle that is bouffant on top and flipped up at ends, which hit conservatively at her shoulders. Her only "beatnik" insignium was perhaps her peace-sign neck pendant.
JudgeJulieLit maybe the filmmakers couldn't find any actual beatniks so someone's sister stepped in
@@xKagryx Touche!
@@xKagryx Perhaps not in then London, but surely in Parisian Rive Gauche, New York Greenwich Village and San Francisco ban-the-bomb beat poet, folk and jazz cafes. 'Fifties film footage of waisthaired, barefoot, provincial-peasantress attired, proto Twist dancing Bardot ... la beatnik girl par excellence.
@@JudgeJulieLit Yes, but this was a Pathe news set up clip thing-y. It's not an actual person off the street. And you were seeing photographs of the 50s and 60s in those places, and a young Brigitte Bardot, who was a burgeoning starlet by 13. Beatniks were not a huge demographic by 1960, and by this date this is just silliness, really. For Helena Rubenstein and this salon , back in the day, during intermissions at the movies. :)
Her eyebrows are so perfect.
She looked so much better as a beatnik …
her eyeliner! 😍😍😍
The girl was stunningly beautiful when she walked in the door...
I think up until 2:08 she still looks youthful despite the heavy makeup, it's the scene right after that (2:10) that aged her badly. Definitely the early 60s Liz Taylor hair that did it. She still looks better in the rocker 'do though.
She is stunning
Very interesting to watch!!
Hilarious! I knew this cool beatnik was in trouble when I saw my deceased grandmother greet her in the beauty parlor. When my Ginga congratulates you on how you look, you know you have taken a wrong turn fashion-wise.
Alright, but her eyeliner before was ON FLEEK
I love that look!
The girl's name is Stephanie Beaumont. She appeared in 1959 - No Hiding Place.
She was gorgeous all along. Just thought it interesting the way they
did some of the beauty treatments, I may try the egg mask for my
hair. All said and done women back then had beautiful skin, and
were well groomed. You put on make-up to go to the grocery store.
Good fun to watch, thanks.
I tried the egg once, and beer which is also meant to be good for hair. It's so hard to get out afterwards. They never showed how messy it all is in that film.
I liked the outfit at the end
So classy ☺️
It must be nice to have these model like features. And such clear skin.
It was part of the game - and luckily even better in our free times today - to jump from one style to the other, depending on your mood and the occasion. I myself still do it when I want to show my inner lady or my free spirit and I am not concerned about looking old or young. That‘s called liberty! 🤩
Wow she's got stunning features!
An arbitrary "Our view of beauty changes and things were different back then" comment passing through....
My Grandmother was 19 when my Dad was born in 1963. The same year as this film. And she had the EXACT same hair style, in fact all of her sisters did too. It was 'in' at the time! And whats 'in' right now will be be mocked by the next generation. Its inevitable. Im not gonna go on a spiel about fashion trends and fads but lets just say I try not to follow them for exactly this reason.
You said it all.
she is so beautiful
I love this video ❤
Come on! I like that leather jacket beatnik look anytime. Pft! The 60s. I like the make up application over the results.
It was the late 1950s into early 1960s look of, e.g., artist Cynthia Lennon.
She looked more elegant and well turned out than most of us these days even before they started on the make over.
Her eyeliner is gorgeous
The honesty of the 50s and 60s is just unobtainable in our modern, soft, overly emotional world now a days.
Product placements even in the '60s! Helena Rubenstein products everywhere! Lol
Yep that stuff started in the 20s and picked up a lot post wwii
She went into a Helen Rubenstein beauty salon so it is normal! Lol!
She s so beautiful 🥺
Love it!!!
What gorgeous skin!
Very nice, and elegant. :)
Do they still have these?! I'd love to go to one. I've been a tomboy all my life, I'm trying to get in touch with my feminine side, and it's hard.
Go to a local beauty school; cheaper prices as they're being tested for graduation. Get a full day treatment for about a third of what a day at Elizabeth Arden (or wherever comparable) would cost you. Yes, of course. In all cities, they do. PS: This is NOT "feminine". How old are you? You look female in your tiny pic. ??
@@bonniemariedavis2909 lol ok wrong words to u, maybe not feminine but how to pamper yourself because I don't hardly do that.
I actually love the look they gave her. Been trying on and off to get my wild ass hair to do that for a while.
my attention was at the women's hands the whole time, really what beautiful, graceful fingers they have
