If you saw a business called “rumble” with a big neon sign and boxing mitts on the wall what would you think they sold?

a dojo, right? or a gym.

Now what if I tell you their full name is “rumble dry bar”

that’s cute. boxing themed bar—

wrong again. You will never guess what they do. try.

(this kind of thing is exactly why everyone makes fun of us, nyc)

@futurebird I found some of their marketing copy. they sell “blowouts”. I still don’t know what it is

@futurebird Yep, "dry" style salons, I learned about those just as I finished my second year (and left the biz to have my kid). No cuts or colours, just the washing, drying and styling. At least one guy in my class moved to Sydney to work at one and makes pretty good money. Lot less hair to sweep up, too, lol

@futurebird surprised that so few users seem to use Google to answer such fundamental questions. The names are much more suggestive than the humdrum reality of https://www.instyle.com/hair/brazilian-blowouts-guides-tips

Listen Paul. Some things I'm kinda scared to do a open search on. Who knows where you'll end up?

Before I read the responses, my guesses are: construction materials or soap.

@futurebird the weird thing about new yorkers is they fantasize of telling the world "you're wrong" before getting consent to play their game.

@futurebird The amount of times I walk by some shop in my neighborhood and have no idea what they actually do is too damned good

@futurebird it's a place where elephants can gather for non-alocohol socializing, and rumble at each other.

    @futurebird

    I'm going to guess that there's five other hair salons nearby too.

    @futurebird @MyWoolyMastadon I worked many years for the distribution side of the beauty industry. The names are always one of two things: tired cliches and puns, or where TF did they come up with that?

    @futurebird At a guess, it's a hair salon.

    Though, I wouldn't have been surprised if it was one of those fancy over-priced non-alcoholic drink places.
