CLAIROL

Women only are allowed in this exhibit: a round glass structure called the Clairol Color Carousel, which has 40 private booths on a slowly circling turntable. Special devices on the Carousel's steps show the ladies how they would look in various hair shades and styles. Each visitor fills out a card on which she tells the color of her hair and checks another color she would like to try. While she takes a six-minute ride in one of the compartments, a computer digests the information and, after the ride, produces a formula for achieving the color she wants.

* Admission: free.

CLAIROL

Ladies can see themselves in various hair colors, view a film on beauty and talk with experts.

Designed for women only, the carousel encloses a revolving turntable, divided into 38 individual booths in which the film is shown. Elsewhere, ladies may peer into a mirrored device to see themselves in several different hair colors, and beauty consultants provide formulas for the colors desired.

Admission: free.
