Yes
I will grab a picture of this, but this is a new hairdressing shop in my town.
Following on from the crazy signs thread, what strange shop names do you have where you live?
 
Builders van in Brum a few years back....their tag line read.....'You have tried the cowboys, now try the Indians' G Singh & Sons.
 
Charity/junk type shop in Bournemouth called Floggit & Leggit
 
There's a van that makes me giggle like a kid everytime I see it.....

"The Beaver Cleaning Company" :D

That brings back memories. There used to be a hairdresser's near me called Curl Up & Dye, but no idea whether they're still trading.
There was a fruit and veg shop called "Melon Cauli" too.

EDIT : Just had a search to satisfy my curiosity and Curl Up and Dye is still going strong it seems : http://uk.uhuw.com/business/1315310/curl-up-and-dye-newport

Looks like Melon Cauli is no longer trading, but I'm not going mad. A poster here remembers it too and they've just reminded me of a local fireplace shop called "Flaming Grates".

Yep - It would seem that Newport is the centre of the universe for cheesy shop names.
 
There's a fish and chip shop here called The Codfather and window cleaners called Pane in the Glass.
 
This sign is/was up in my local car wash years ago.

In Newbury there is a canine grooming parlour called 'Hair of the dog' :)
 
I think there is a curl up and dye hairdressers in most towns. There's one just down the road from my house.

Madison hair garden was a more original hairdressers I have seen on Madison street in tunstall
 
Just remembered there's a hair salon in Southend called "Blonde Dye Bleach"
 
A car wash in Bradford used to have a big sign saying 'Best hand job in Bradford'

Got to be better than "Hair by Sharon" or the like.
 
A couple of hairdressers we have round here...

"Hair today, gone tomorrow"
"Blood, sweat and shears"

and one I avoid

"Cut you up"
 
And another I just remembered..... strapline for a roofing company.....

"Get rolled, spread and laid by the best"
 
Local carpenters call themselves "Chuck Buddies"

I've also followed a van labelled "Munters" but can't remember what the trade was.
 
used to be an estate agents near me called Steps so the Sale Boards read

Steps For Sale
 
There's a furniture store in Northampton called Sofa King.... Their slogan is 'the prices are sofa king low'
 
Theres a shop near me called "Beds Beds Beds"

I always wonder what they sell in there
 
I regularly buy dough based provender from Burns the Bread of Glastonbury. Their lardy cake is most excellent.
 
Not too sure about fish and chips from this place........
