the other day i drove past a hairdressing place in claremont called Rapunzels hair studio and upon brief reflection i thort to myself, “that is a pretty awful name for a business – Rapunzel after all is the fairy-tale character who never cut her hair… ever… and you’re gonna trust her to cut yours…?”
so maybe you can pull in for a light colour tint or possibly even a dry perm (i don’t even know if there is such a thing as a dry perm but i didn’t want the word ‘perm’ to be lonely and ‘dry perm’ sounded like a technique i would employ if i was a hairdressing person) but as far as hair cutting goes, i’d look for another place
…and while we’re on the topic… hairdressing? what’s with calling it that? has there ever been a single occasion in your life where you have seen someone who has just come back from having had a cut or a dye and said, “wow lady, your hair looks pretty well dressed” ?
Aaah dude. I love this post. I always analyse these kind of things for a laugh.
My pet favourite are beauty salons. They have the worst names out. Will collect a few for you.
On holiday in ramsgate, I saw a take out joint called “the Krusty Krab”. Now while I might have an affinity for Spongebob, I could never eat at a place that labels itself “Krusty”. It just goes against my better judgement.
Down the road from me there’s a pre-school called “laspossies” which loosely translated means “little nuisances”. There is no way I’d send my kids to a place that defines them as that before they even start there. I keep imagining parents saying, “Finally, a place to drop you off because you’re such an irritation to me” OR “Here, take this nuisance, he’s all yours for the day. Bwahahahahaaaaa.”
Great post Brett! Will keep my eyes peeled for such like things.
