We've seen her with her hair different before. That time that she met the guys at the strip club, she had it up and it looked really nice.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, that was a good look.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Considering how obsessive Weiner is about the style details of the show, Peggy's hair was purposefully anachronistic. Joan called it out - why do you dress like a little girl. Peggy's look was from the 50s and she hadn't moved up. So the symbolic/iconic gesture of the haircut was of Peggy owning her place in the sixties, becoming a woman etc.

“Not dead yet!”
Y'all are right about the on the nose-ness of the Eurotrash but I thought it was just another one of those ways in which they were exhibiting the external vs. the internal. How Don must feel the life he lives in New York is so surreal and then, he's faced with utter surrealness in the form of the ET. Maybe a little 2x4 but certainly not egregious.
And Kurt having the style instincts didn't bother me so much as a stereotype since he was clearly not only an artistic type, but has a very distinct style sensibility. I mean, when he first showed up for his interview with Don, he was wearing a fisherman's sweater, and the other times we've seen him, he clearly dresses in a very different manner from most everyone else.

BWAH!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think whoever Don called is going to be the same person that he was sending things to at the beginning of the season. I think it is also quite possibly the woman we saw in the car salesman flashback.

Yeah, there was too much on-the-nose-ness. I was guessing that the Eurotrash were secretly penniless Romany, like in the show I never watched.
I am totally assuming that they will all turn out to be imposters, much in the same way Don is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's style and then there's hairdressing. I would have an easier time buying him styling her.

Art Crawl!!!
But - as David said - Astrid was a photographer not a hair person and she could cut hair. (Did more people cut their own hair in the past?)

Sure, it's not impossible.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I figure he put himself through art school cutting hair. Or something. (Okay, I handwaved it because the rest of the episode was so awesome and it did seem to fit in with the "Unlike Americans, Eurotrash hippies don't totally suck at happiness" theme they had going.)
