For some unexplainable reason, hair salon owners around the world love to make plays on words when naming their businesses. Milwaukee is no exception to this phenomenon, with a bevy of beauty dens sporting hilarious names. Here at OMC, we're big fans of the double entendre (we especially love The Simpsons' Turn Your Head and Coiff) and -- all in good fun -- wanted to share the city's most humorously named salons.
