Since the poll has dragged dog grooming salons into the mix… I take my pooches to a joint called “Bark Avenue.” That name still makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.
Okay, I get that it’s a good pun and you don’t want it to go to waste… but do you want to subconsciously tell your customers to experience a painful death?
(Window washing services do this sort of thing too… “Pane in the Glass”, “Labor Panes”).
There was a small chain of barber shops in Portland, OR that I always got my hair cut. They were called Bishops Barber Shop and I miss them sooooo much. It was a very hipster/rock 'n roll themed always had killer music playing, hot twenty-somethings cutting hair and all paying customers(21 and older) got to drink as many Miller High Life 12oz. bottles as they wanted for free. They even gave great haircuts to boot. Oh how I miss Bishops…

One time my cousin and I were going to Sonic and he saw and read aloud in disgust the name of a dog place called “Shampooch”. He was so disgusted that he drove right past Sonic (even though he’d been there several times) and had to pull a U-turn and go back.
Snip Doggy Dog sounds like the place you go to get your dog “fixed”
@MrMikenIkes I wonder if there’s a “Doggie Styles” anywhere.
Mullet Over!
@sicc574 There’s a humor columnist named James White. The title of his column is Mullet Over.
There’s one near me called “Do or Dye”
Refrigerated Battery Hair Cuts!
(marketing may not be my thing…)
@shahnm It’s not your thing.
Not a pun, but the salon I go to (it’s great and the walls are purple) is named Cliché. Yep. They named their business cliché like it’s a good thing.
/giphy cliché
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.
@2many2no beat me to the punch on this one…oh well, i guess great minds think alike…
@2many2no
Hair Today, Bald Tomorrow came true for me
Jack The Clipper
All of these sound like Bob’s Burgers’s neighboring establishments
Best Little Hair House
Hair Apparent (to restore thinning hair)
Hair-A-Parent (hair place with childcare)
Hair of the Dog (groomer). Love their name and sign.
Or you can watch the Blues Brothers
we have a Bush Wacker near us…

My niece’s shop is Thairapy . I always said if I had a shop I’d call it The Mane Attraction.
@lseeber We’ve got one here called The Mane Event.
@moondrake That works too.
“Curl Up & Dye”

@awk Soccer store “Kick in the Grass”
“Shear Perfection” was my favorite place. Full of great tit… err stylists.
Sportsclips is pretty good, but I prefer Knock-outs. Ok, Knock-outs is not a pun, but have you ever been there?
@hchavers A nearby Knock-Outs got shut down for running a suburban prostitution ring out of it.
Shear Destiny. It’s gone now.
“Turn Your Head and Coif.” /obligatory Simpson’s reference.
My guess is, “Hair to Eternity” is where the funeral home takes your loved ones.
Shear Madness.
Hair Force One
We have:
A Cut Above
Fade Away
Cut-n-Edge

I’ve long referred to the generic men’s hair places (Hair Saloon, SportsClips, Knock-Outs, etc) with an equally generic nickname of “Stud Cutz”.
