Silver Clippers: Cookeville, TN

Are you confused in your brain? Are you a man or a lady person? Well, this is the place for you.

Southern Elegance: Kingston, TN

I know, "Southern Elegance." It isn't much. It doesn't have great signage, and there's no dumb pun involved.



But wait! There is more to the story, just three-quarters of a mile down the road..... And let me tell you, it is awesome.

Envious Hair and Nail Studio: Nashville, TN

Well, it looks like their eyes (green = envy; WE GET IT) were watching God, but it doesn't take Barnaby Jones or Jessica Fletcher or Simon Baker from The Mentalist to see the anti-Christian message! See how those scissors are placed, just open enough to snip "dio" out of our lives? Farewell, God! But your weave looks fantastic! First Class!

Righteous Beauty Salon: Nashville, TN

This place is the wind beneath your wings. It's illustrated right there on the logo! It's probably also the wind beneath your bangs and assorted hairdo whatnot. Praise Jesus! Or whatever.
