Default The misery of hair salons
Look. I know I'm not the best person to tell someone how un-original they are but right now when I think about it I probbably am.

We all know how it starts...taking a walk in the city of course! But this walk is different cuz you see a HAIR SALON named what? Guess...

Did you? Well it's Kristina fucking Kristina for a HAIR SALON!! A HAIR SALON named Krisitina.

Here's a few ideas:

Not now honey. I'm entering Kristina and I can't talk...
The robbers smashed Kristina's doors and ran away...
Kristina needs some time to warm up so we never enter right away...

GET IT!! DO YOU GET IT!!

There's a hair salon near where I live called Blow Me, which imo is a far better sex joke, and totally somewhere I would spend my money at if I ever used salons.
What I lack in decorum, I make up for with an absence of tact.

I live in a very small town with somewhere around 10-12 hair salons in the town center (or more - I'm not entirely sure because they keep popping up and closing down. You almost can't go anywhere in the center without having a hairdresser within a 50-100 meters distance). They've all got names like "Hair we are", and other more or less creative names with wordplays on hair-related words. No obviously offensive names, though.

There's a hair salon called Curl Up And Dye. I only found this out because I was making a Blues Brothers reference on my FB profile and listed myself as owner on the FB page by accident.

The hairdressers in my town is called 'Evola', but everyone calls it 'Ebola'.

I've never cut my hair so I've never been inside, but apparently it's nice. It's where my boyfriend gets his hair cut.

There's a hair salon near my house called Split Ends. You'd think people would want to avoid split ends at a hair salon but I guess not. There's also The Mane Attraction and Jagged Edges.

Or an hair salon that does exclusively hair from the Sims games.

Haha, that'd be awesome.

This isn't a hair salon but there's some cake place near me that I've never been to before that's called Nothing Bundt Cakes or something like that. Most of the hair places here are pretty basic, like Great Clips or Super Cuts :P

Well ... no, not really. I've known other Kristinas and they were all impeccable. Perhaps try imagining it in a nice cocktail dress, it might not bother you so much then.

All the hair salons here have the word "salon" in them, so even the ones with names are called "So-and-so's Salon" instead of just "So-and-so's."

One of the games I used to play had a salon named Duck Fart in the background. Don't ask me why.

I guess us Pennsylvanians are less creative, then. I go to a place called Fazio's. Then the rest of Pittsburgh's hair places are usually one of many Supercuts or have a name like "Gorgeous Hair" or "Attractive Looks."

We're not all boring though. There's a tanning salon up in Erie, PA, called "Sun Your Buns."

Not even a cocktail dress can help when there's no key ingredient...

A salon near my house is named BLOW. When I pass it I wonder if they are advertising a service or a review of their services. Then again, do I really want to know?

We have a Cloud 9 too! Whenever I Google it for it's phone number, I always have to make sure it's the *right* Cloud 9. Oh, and there's another The Mane Attraction on my town's main street. I never see anyone there, but I suppose someone goes there as it's been there for years.

I wish I had a Cut n Blow.

I'VE SEEN THAT HAIR SALON ON A ROAD TRIP BEFORE. I don't remember where though.

You must live around ME! So have you eaten at BJ's? WE know it's a restaurant.

Apparently a few, since your bio says you live in New York and I'm from Virginia. Must be a somewhat popular name.

I've seen many hair salons, beauty salons and brothels disguised as clubs named Erika. I was always wondering why it's always one of these three options.. no cheap clothing shop or family restaurant or anything, Erikas here are always hair/beauty salons or brothels (ok, clubs...). There are also many nail studios called EuroNails - American style where all staff people are Vietnamese. I love the multi-cultural feeling of that :-)
