On the chest of a barmaid from Sale
Was tattooed all the prices of ale,
Whilst on her behind,
For the sake of the blind,
Was exactly the same, but in braille!

I couldn’t help but notice that one of the coffee places mentioned above is prominently advertising for staff. (Ok, I looked).
Clearly, even the pool for counter staff is pretty small when restricted to those who are willing to work half-dressed.
In Korea, barbershops with two poles offer far more than a haircut in the back. Same for some coffee delivery services.
Well, at least here in CA, getting a cosmetologist license is not a license to make money. In fact, often they have to pay the business, ie “rent a station.” So, plenty of job seekers, few jobs.
Men tip more and are easier to please. Of course you do have the risk of getting hit on.
That is indeed, my barbershop.
I passed by a Lady Jane’s in the St. Louis area not long ago. Apparently they have locations in a lot of states. I also figured it was sort of Hooters with haircuts.

I want to say I saw another place in the area that advertised attractive-but-clothed stylists, but I can’t recall now.
Lady Jane’s, huh?
The first thing I think of when I hear the name is Lady Jane Grey. She was Queen of England for Nine days in 1553, between Edward VI and Mary Tudor. I wrote a play about her once. She was also the subject of a movie starring Helena Bonham Carter, Captain Picard and a pre-Princess Bride Cary Elwes. Lady Jane was packed off the prison by Mary Tudor, but when her followers revolted and caused a lot of trouble, Mary thought it was prudent to nip any more possible coups in the bud, and had her beheaded.
Helluvan icon for a barber shop.
It was in Vassalboro, about 75 miles from Portland.
Why is a person’s love of boobs assumed to be inextricably linked to that person’s love of sports TV?
But what do I know? My idea of a good haircut is a “Numero Seis” while making a hand motion around my head, the last time without noticing the barberess was an Angla. “You mean a Number Six all around?”
“Si, er, yes.” And she, like everybody else, still insisted on taking her time, styling it, FFS. It was nice–as a higher primate I enjoy getting groomed–but needlessly complex.
That cloth thing that they throw over your lap would come in handy here. No one can see what you’re doing underneath!
I will bet you that there’s a pretty high correlation, even if there are some breast aficionados who aren’t sports fans, and vice-versa. There’s a reason why big-screen TVs showing sports are a staple in “breastaurants.” 
If I want a topless haircut, I just take off my shirt before breaking out the clippers.
Well, it’s not like a business has to do just one thing. If a restaurant offers food, and beer, and sports, and attractive waitresses it gives them a way to distinguish themselves from the places that just have food, beer, and sports.
Maybe Borders books would still be around if they’d found a way to spice things up a bit.
Heh, my barber uses capes with a clear plastic window over your lap so you can use your phone.
How long is the average man in a barber shop, anyway? Not very long! Even if the barber is a gorgeous nude female, you’re not going to see much, and you’re not going to see it for long.
Besides, in this day and age, when ANY kind of porn is available in seconds, what’s the attraction?
You’d see plenty in the mirror in the +/-5 minutes a simple haircut takes, and a porn video doesn’t run its fingers through your hair or press its boobs into your side as it leans in.

You can’t see how this still might be more fun than a “regular” haircut?
I was just cleaning my glasses, I swear!
In Austin, there was a place for a few years called Sexy Scissors on North Lamar. Maybe this is what you meant?
The topless part lasted about 2 months before the health department stepped in. Then they went with bikini clad stylists. It limped on for about three years.
Cool sign, though:
I guess there’s some cultural differences between Sydney and the U.S. Here in the U.S., if I saw a sign for ‘Studz Hairdressing’ I would not expect to find any women at all in there.
