Curl Up and DyeA Poem by Elton CampThere must be lots of strange cosmetologists out there.Curl Up and Dye By Elton Camp To craziness in salon names there’s no stop Nobody likes simple: Meg’s Beauty Shop Maybe to call the place “The Mane Attraction” Is a way for a cosmetologist to get some action Womens’ hearts, the shop fills with gladness When it has the zany name of “Shear Madness” In a spot that has been designated as “Hair Lair,” Customers will understand why the place is there It surely must have been some marketing whiz Who picked for a salon this title, “Hair It Is” I can’t imagine whom the following would love: A beauty with the strange name, “A Cut Above” When the potential names begin to become few, Only then, I sure think, would “Clip Joint” do “The Cutting Edge” sounds like a computer store But it has been used to designate a salon before “Twisted Sisters” sounds much like a kinky place Some think the name “Hairem” is also a disgrace But it seems to me there is no good reason why A salon shouldn’t be called “Curl Up and Dye”
