Quinzee claw

Hairstyle allegedly peculiar to Quincy. "When I was in high school (in Hingham), we used to scorn skanks from Quinzee who sported the Quinzee Claw - bangs Aquanetted into a stiff claw over their foreheads."

I saw that hairstyle around 1990 in Dorchester and even Newton. It's combined with hair pulled back and hard (painfully) as possible into a very tight scrunchie bun.
