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”
