What’s with the spilled flowers on the floor? Is this the aftermath of a hair dressing salon bar-style fight because the patron wanted to hold a flower and the owner said no?

Closest I've seen was an alternate build in a 3-in-1 set, while minifigs, not technically City brand.

31097: Townhouse Pet Shop & Café , had both a hairdresser and dentist in the same alternate build.

I love the giant 1x6x10 door! I'd love to have those still around for some grand entrances.

Trans-clear macaroni was last available in 10022 in 2002! Other than that one set, you're looking at it only being in sets from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s!

That's funny, today I was just in a discussion with my family about whether these places in general are called hairdressers, hair salons, or barbershops. Didn't expect this Hairdressing Salon to be today's random set of the day.

@Agent00Z:
Barbershop seems to be the pretty much universal term for men who cut mens’ hair. Historically, they were also where you’d go for a good old-fashioned leeching, bloodletting, or fire cupping, in addition to minor surgery, dentistry, or enemas (the barber pole is derived from a time when they would hang blood-soaked cloths outside to dry). And there was a brief attempt to change the name to “chirotonsor” in the US about a century ago.

On the women’s side, beauty salon, hair salon, hairstylist, hairdresser, or cosmetologist are common names. Depending on jurisdiction, these may be regulated differently (in New Jersey they’re all regulated as one entity, while in Maryland and Pennsylvania the use of a straight razor is restricted to barbers, demon or otherwise).

@rahlmaclaren:
I was thinking there might have been one in the later Modulars, but I’ve never bought any so I couldn’t recall which set it might have been.

I think this is my first lego set. Few pieces have survived in my collection, but they still get used.

Trans maccas and a proper nose cone suitable for space shuttle SRBs. Hard not to love this set. And you even get an old brown hair brush too.

I forgot the homemaker figures sometimes had giant rooms that came with them.
This thing is huge.

In addition to the mentioned sets with barbers or hairstylists there was also one in Idea Book 6000. And if I remember correctly also in one of the other idea books from the 1980s.

Lego City is a strictly Police & Fire Department-only city. Besides this, only construction sites are allowed, where they are certainly building new Police & Fire Departments.

The few hospitals, schools, markets and etc you all see are only allowed under very special circunstances.

"They need to bring back the balljoint part they're using for the hands with all the Mixel joints in sets these days. Would be really useful in MOCs.

Also, Transparent Macaroni Bricks. Neat!"

They need to bring back A LOT of transparent parts. As an avid Space fan, it bothers me so much that Lego no longer makes transparent plates 2x4, 4x6, 4x8, 6x8 and etc... The small 1x1 round rocket base as well, why do this part is almost only found in dark bluish gray nowadays??? Geez...

Ah, the 'Spaghetti-armed folk', how I miss thee...I mean; I only ever had one ('manikinfigs' were the majority of my figs at the time, 'til the proper minifigs). But those arms were so handy, basically the 'Canadarm' before the 'Canadarm'. And speaking of 'hands', an old friend of mine would use these one as minifig weapons, sort of a blaster idea...:)

@brick_r:
Trooper 1: “How does it work?”
Trooper 2: “You pull the trigger and it emits a lethal energy blast.”
Trooper 1: “How do you aim it?”
Trooper 2: “Well, it’s a sphere, so it sends energy out in every direction.”
Trooper 1: “…”

The Detective Office Modular has a barbershop!

@PurpleDave: Well...we always assumed 'the blast' was parallel w/'the ball' in axis to 'the disc'...

Still, it's better than 'Bernny' on S.T.D. being seen at least THREE TIMES (stills are out there) firing a phaser...while holding it BACKWARDS...fathom that one, makes G.O.T.s "Starbucks Cups" look/sound 'quaint' by comparison.:D

My wife has this set! And another one from this era, with the big figs. It has a bathtub and a baby and set in a restroom?

@brick_r:
I did find one still, but the place I found it someone claimed that Kahn did the same thing in Into Darkness.
