Take a seat because we are snipping back the years to these barber and hairdresser memories.

Nine salons get our attention in this retro feature. Let's take you back to the Russian football team getting their haircut in Durham in 1966 and to Glenby salon in Joplings in 1982.

We've got charity cuts and much more besides, thanks to the Sunderland Echo archives.
