There’s a Mane Attraction on the base naxt to my house. I saw another and it set me off. So I went to the phone book and looked up all the other stupid names in my area.

Hair’s my Heart
the more you type a word, the less like a real word it seems. Hair’s a silly word… *
Around the corner from my office is a hair salon called “Scrupples.” That’s right, that’s how they chose to spell it. Written out in neon for the world to see.
I didn’t think “Tangles” was too appealing, but we’ve got one of those.
There’s one in the next town that I dig the name of: Big D’s Smoking Hair Salon.
My sister gets her hair cut at a place called the Guillotine. Pronounced Gill-o-teen. I have no idea why they choose to pronounce it this way - does it somehow make them sound snazzier, and I just don’t get it?
The one my mother always goes to is called Head Hunters.
Then there was La Flamme. It was actually a very nice, very traditional barber shop (Mike Dukakis got his hair cut there, if that’s supposed to be a selling point), but the name provoked a good of Beavis & Butthead-style sniggering.
There used to be one near where I grew up, called The Best Little Hairhouse in Texas. It might still be there for all I know… and we weren’t anywhere near Texas.

My all time favorite was a salon in Chicago suburban North Riverside called “Illusion of Beauty”. I remeber passing it several times on Roosevelt Road, but I think they’ve changed their name or gone out of biz, cause I haven’t seen it in a while.
