Best Salon Poems

The Salon of Forbidden Ideas
is a place where the free-thinkers go
to express their unsanctioned opinions
and explore what they aren't meant to know...

At twilight, they slip through the shadows
of the alley 'twixt Far-Left and Right,
wearing black masks and cloaks of red satin,
bearing lanterns of unfiltered light.

Don't come here but please go there
For this is what I have to share
About our dear hairdresser Claire.
She'll never catch you in a snare
Because her prices are more than fair.

She will cut your hair layer by layer
And will not let your head go bald or...

I'm off to the puppy salon,

to get pampered and spoiled today,

all my pup smell will be gone,

my mom, says she likes it better that way,

they will fluff and dematt,

not sure I'll love that,

but then I'll be loving,

that warm bubble bath,

my groomer will trim me all...

Oh! My gosh. What is it with the girly girl 
Adventure?
They say looking great is a lure
To capture
An amore. To me that's a whole other 
Venture.
I am such an amateur.
I am not looking for any more pressure.
Now on to the brochure
Which supposedly has the beauty...

SALON
IT IS THE PLACE TO GET REVAMP,
REVAMP OF THE FACE TAKES 
PLACE.
BUT YOU CAN REVAMP YOUR INNER SOUL.
THE BEAUTY SALON IS THE PLACE.

AS BARBER CHOPS DOWN YOUR HAIR,
SAME WAY THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU 
CHOPS DOWN YOUR
HONESTY N PRIDE.

People often say now I understand
When they hear that I'm from Paree
Not Gay Paree silly, but redneck
In the heart of Tennessee

I am the newest style of hairdressers
Here to lay out all the facts
I no longer work on the tops of heads
But straight out of the...

Be bear aware
Be prepared
Bring bear spray
And a nail file, too

In case you see the bruin
And she wants you to style her hair
And while you're at it
You can give her a pedicure, too.

Mr. and Mrs. Medusa
Put their huge hats on their heads
To constrain their hair that always
Looks like they just got out of bed 

They drove off to the hair salon
Even though they remembered
That when her mom asked long ago
For a trim, she got dismembered

Hey mister, said...

I'm loathe to agonize, but it's an issue guys!
Some cash wafts heaven sent, but spoils like excrement!
It's shops long hours that stink (are driving me to drink!)
I sit home long retired. She's younger, art inspired;
she loves her work's deft strokes on hair for gals (YES!...

Shoes were always, always a big thing,
On the major avenues.
Shoes were big, but bigger then ever- they were vibrant.
Vibrant, and full as Hollywood Avenue itself.
The avenue everyone who was anyone heard of. 
Hollywood Avenue .
It was Ms. Maam to Mrs. Vibrant Salon
The salon that “snap-fingers...

Salon

Vanity spewing unchecked to an unwillingly captive audience
"I am this and I did that", "look at me, me, me"!
"Make me pretty, I am pretty, I am aren't I"?

Maybe I am just tired or tainted
or just possibly because I am bald by choice
probably.

So much time spent...

Mon Dieu she shrieked, I watched him standing there,
Beneath the Gogh, the suit was Weatherill.
He sipped cognac (Eden de Gautier)
And on his arm some filly from Brazil.
You heard, of course, poor dear, she knew the drill.
What must she think: her dress, she wore Chanel,
The shoes,...

He said what he had to say
to tell the story
He did what he had to do
to rescue time
He paid what he had to pay
to bribe the jailers
He gave what he had to give
