    Vidal Sassoon, Toni & Guy, eat your heart out. I've often wondered how the word "salon" became "saloon" on crossing the Arabian Sea, and why "salon" is still pronounced as "saloon" in India. Saloon for me, conjures up cowboy bars and gunfights, not coiffures and cut-throats. India-aaah.

    Quaint location for a unisex salon. Very good shot!

    Good picture.
    Kannada name reads Virupaksheswara. Seems the real estate on the board was not sufficient to fit in a long name and settled it to Virupaksha.
    And alike saloon - some other classics from my memory are Saving and Cutting (in Tirupati), Gopi Machurian (in Munnar), Istupid Paratha (stands for stuffed paratha, in Jodhpur), Pure Veg and Non-veg (on a highway in West Bengal).

    @Paul
    Honestly, I hardly ever notice the difference.. even when I'm writing something. But i loved the confident air with which the guy asked, "Madame, hair cut? For you, only 20 rupees.. "

    a friend of mine had taken pictures of some very creative signboards up in the himalayas. I will share the link once he uploads it to the net.

    @Kyungmee, lino, shiju
