Mrs. L.A. said that in the late-'70s, all the way through flight school (late-'80s), she used a shampoo that smelled like cherries. She said she thought it was called ‘Salon’ or something.

Any idea what it was?

She said it might have been the Vidal, but it didn’t actually say ‘cherry’ on it.

Thanks for the answers.

You’re welcome. There was another brand of shampoo called Salon Selectives. I used it often and I liked it, but I can’t remember what it smelled like. It might only go back to the 80s though.
