"Welcome to the history of women's torture," exclaims Robin Le Van, the ebullient and witty curator of the Museum of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences, as she opens the door to a room replicating an early beauty salon. Here, she points out such paraphernalia as a 1907 Nestle perm machine: Its Medusa-lik- e tangle of metal hair clamps seems to demonstrate how the Bride of Frankenstein kept her coif aloft. As for masculine mechanisms, Le Van shows off a 1935 Magic Fingers Head Massager, which, with the help of a little lemon oil, supposedly stimulated the follicles of balding men. 3, 1995 THE DAILY HKRALD, Provo, Dm-mbt- Sunday, Air $1909 ' $1819 $1524 - SIC or 801 $439.
