Featured Video: Hair Wiz Commercial (1974)

“Why trust your family’s appearance to a cheap gadget?” asks this 1974 commercial which then asks you to trust your family’s appearance to a cheap gadget. For $2.98, you could own a Hair Wiz and turn each of your blood relatives into a poorly shorn freak. The product was available at Peoples Drug Stores, a chain of Eastern U.S. pharmacies that was founded in 1904 by Malcolm Gibbs. Peoples was eventually purchased by CVS.
