1. There's a place in Chapel Hill called The Beehive.

They can do those extra tall french twists like the ladies in the B-52s wear. :D

Unfortunately, they went out of business. Too many damned fundys in the area, I think. :(

edit to add/

I also had a friend who made a trip to Africa while in seminary. While she was there, she got her hair cut at "The Headhunter's Salon." I wish she would have gotten a picture! :)

40. We have Fast Tans and Deli
I've never stopped in, I'd be afraid of getting a suntan lotion sandwich or something. Eew.

I thought that was the wierdest business concept ever until the coffee shop and paralegal's office went in in midtown. Maybe next time I need to do an eviction I can get a latte at the same time. :wtf:

36. Great writing - Priceless is my favorite one
Trying to get to the bottom of this Fort Bend Boy Scouts honoring Tom DeLay deal is like trying to nail jello to a tree.  It’ll keep you busy, but you’re not gonna get a whole lot of cooperation from either the jello or the tree. 

This I know for a fact: The Scouts are not giving Tom DeLay an award of any kind.  They never have.  Chad Green at the Sam Houston Area Council told me personally that the Scouts did not pick Tom DeLay for this or any other Scouting award.  

So how did it happen that there’s a party going on where the Fort Bend Scouting is made to look like they are presenting Tom DeLay with The Golden Eagle Award? 

This is where the jello and the nails come in.

47. Where I live, they call salons saloons
and there's this children's haircutting place downtown called

Twitty Kid's Saloon

Now if you're envisioning goofy kids stumbling out of the place drunk, you have the same reaction I did.

Seriously! When she sold the shop (bro-in-law - Army - was transferred overseas), the new owners renamed it Ritz Internationale (boring!).

54. Oh man, I've seen so many great ones...
For some reason I'm obsessed with salon names - it's like a contest to see who can come up with the worst name.

Here are some of the best that I've seen over the years, mostly in Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregon.

Hair Force One
Foxy Reflections (My all time favorite. Has been open for decades in Albuqueque, NM)
A Cut Above
Hair's To You
Hair We Are
The Cutting Crew
The Shear Shack
Shear Elegance
7 Bucks-a-Whack
Dare to be Different
