A new Bexley hairdresser has residents and road-users all hot and bothered over its choice of name – Blow Me.

The “late night hair lounge” on Forest Rd has attracted plenty of attention on social media after an eagle-eyed resident snapped a picture of their sign and sent it to Bayside Council.

However, the council called the resident’s bluff with a brief reply.

“Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Are you able to elaborate on what you find inappropriate about the name for the Blow Me Hair Lounge?” the council responded.

Most members of a Rockdale residents’ group on Facebook saw the humour in the cheeky pun.

“I wonder if it had stiff opposition,” Mark Baxter wrote.

“Very punny! As a marketer I gotta say it works,” Susan Popovski added.

Other residents said there were simply better things to worry about.

“Get your mind out of the gutter,” Pamla Dennis Plant wrote.

“Homeless people going hungry, violence, but let’s get upset about a new business with a double entendre for a name,” Jon Fuller said.
