5 worst hair salons in Omaha

Curl Up & Dye

Managed by Dolly, a former circus performer with an affinity for neon colors. Omaha customers never really chose a hairstyle. Instead, they spun a massive wheel labeled with outrageous styles like “fluorescent mullet” or “sideways beehive.” Every visit was a hair-raising gamble.

Bob’s Bobs

Bob, a misunderstood genius, only knew one haircut, the bob. Long hair, short hair, no hair, it didn’t matter. You’d walk out with a bob. Some say he saw the world solely in bobs, even claiming he once spotted a bob-shaped UFO.

Frizzle’s Fuzzy Foll

Frizzle had an unusual affinity for all things fluffy. She believed that the fluffier the hair, the closer to the cosmos. Customers often left with hair so voluminous they had to duck through doorways. On windy days, some were reported to achieve brief moments of levitation.

Wet & Forget

Owned by absent-minded Alfred, this salon was known for its signature “damp look”. Alfred would start washing a customer’s hair, get distracted by a passing butterfly or a shiny object, and forget all about them. Patrons often walked out dripping wet, having never actually gotten a haircut. The salon unintentionally became a hotspot during hot summer days.

Scissorless Sue’s

The quirkiest Omaha hair salon of them all. Sue, having developed an inexplicable fear of scissors, refused to use them. Instead, she opted for alternatives like melting wax or tiny controlled fires. While no one ever got the cut they wanted, they often left with singed tips and stories that lasted a lifetime.
