Brilliant! Unfortunately, a lot of the best ones appear to be going out of business.

A hairdresser’s near my house: “Natural Born Clippers”
A local pub: The Dewdrop Inn
That’s the best I have… I like the Marquis de Salade though ^_^

There are a few on Haight Street in SF; Haight to Wash laundromat is my favorite, although Haight Mail is pretty good too.

And ‘You damn dirty grapes’ is now in my random weird quote repertory due to its shear awesomeness .

I think Curl Up and Dye also appears in The Blues Brothers, where Carrie Fisher is seen reading the manual for a flamethrower while doing her nails.

As a central New Yorker, I have to give mention to Sherlock Homes real estate in Auburn.

Ah, my favorite is here in Simi Valley, California: Indiana Bones and the Temple of Groom (yes a dog’s groomer) – it’s out of business now.

On St. Simon’s Island, Ga. there’s a store called Pane in the Glass.

Here in Macon, I had to get a wheel replaced on my car after hitting a mean pothole. I found a store called Hubcap and Wheel, and the guy gave me a card with his name on it, and the card identified him as a “Hubcapitolist.”

The first time I encountered a Curl Up and Dye salon was in the movie Earth Girls are Easy. That was a funny film!
