My buddy Barb is retiring and going to nail school. She needs a good name for her nail place and we have decided to turn to the folks here at Straight Dope.
Buddy Sue has suggested “Hand Jobs” but …well, you know. Besides, Barb is married and that would be a great suggestion if she was single…but she’s not.
So! What do you all suggest?
Tibs.
Barbie’s Dream Place?
“Talonz”
[sup]okay, maybe not[/sup]
cuticle cubicle…I think that’s pretty sharp…I may have nailed it for Barb.
Headache Heaven? (I get a headache from nail polish fumes. 
)
Please, no stupid puns. Seems like every other beauty salon out there is named some stupid pun. It’s a blight on the landscape.
How about Freddy Krueger’s?
My GOD, that’s brilliant, ** B Williams!!**
Heh. I love it.
More! More! I must have more!
Tibs.
Aw, c’mon… I really like “Curl Up and Dye” as a beauty salon name, but maybe I’m just twisted that way. 
Thanks Tibs, That’s the one I would go with.
Whatever she names it, for the love of GOD, don’t let her use a Nagel print to advertize it!
“This Cat has Claws”
Too whimsical?
“The Digit Enhancment Studio”
She could corner the girl computer geek market.
“Polished”
Simple.
“Get Nailed”
Claws Trophobic
You’ve Got Nail!
E-Nail
“Nailhouse Rock”
It could be Elvis themed.
Or
“Save the Nails”
Top Coat.
And the radio jingles should be to the tune of Top Cat.
You guys are great! Keep ‘em comin’
“Finger Tips”.
I also thought “All we have is a hammer”, but it’s not only too subtle, it would get mistaken for a small hardware store.
“Glossy Eyed”.
Philster beat me to another one I liked.
Speaking of bad puns for beauty salons, we have a hair salon up the street whose name is (and I’m not making this up) Hack n’ Whack Hair Shack."
Oh my.
How about just “Manicures”? Simple, to the point, and people can remember it.
Barb’s Nail Salon.
Rank and File
I don’t know where the rank comes in, but that’s all that comes to mind.
Probably already somewhat cliche’, but Ten Penny.
