From iconic kitchen appliances to cherished toys, American homes of the 1960s were filled with items that evoke fond memories of simpler times in many of us. We’re here today to explore a collection of quintessential items that graced the shelves and corners of homes across the country during the swinging sixties. These relics offer a glimpse into the past, reflecting the unique culture, values, and lifestyle of this transformative decade.

#1: Salonette Portable, a Vintage Hair-Drying Marvel

A vintage creation by Sears, the Salonette Portable was marketed at places like Macy’s and Walmart for $27.95. Offering home convenience, this tabletop dryer eliminated the need for costly salon visits, letting users enjoy free hair drying.

The Salonette Portable revolutionized hair care with its 700-watt power, offering an “extra fast” drying experience in a package no bigger than a large purse. It was ideal for maintaining voluminous bouffants on the go, but it was a must-have accessory.
