OTV: 15 Silly Beauty Salon Names
Years ago, at the Cd’A intersection where 3rd and 4th separate into one way streets, there used
to be a beauty shop named “Salon de Chevaux.” In High School, I took four years of French. That place used to drive my classmates and I totally bananas. See, the French word for hair is “cheveux”, but whoever established the business didn’t bother to spell-check or whatever and used the word “chevaux” instead, which means “horses.” Salon of Horses. We prank called them frequently, asking how much would it cost for old Nelly the Mare to get a perm and mani-pedi. They seemed blissfully oblivious to the problem, but it couldn’t have helped much either, since they closed after just a few whinny-ful years in business. Not sure why it is that so many beauty shop owners feel the need to get overly clever or cute with the names of their establishments. My personal favorite is “Curl Up & Dye” over in Spokane. I’d like to take a moment to celebrate the 15 silliest Beauty Salon names in North Idaho, in no particular order/
