Dominican-Owned Beauty Salons Offer The Chance To Get Your Eye Poked Out With Pool Stick While Getting Your Rayitos Done

Some Queens-area beauty salons aren’t content to merely make your hair look like a trailer park child beauty queen’s even though you requested it to be flat-ironed. Oh no, no. Now they want to make sure you have the opportunity to get your cheek shattered by a wayward Q-ball, too:

You will find that haircutting places there often adopt hyphenations that place their businesses several notches above ingenuity.

Take the salon-billiard. And the salon-record store. And the salon-jewelry shop.

Yes, take them far away.

“As soon as they come in, I’m checking the client out,” says Marino Diloné, 60, a tailor for 45 years who has set up shop in the basement.

“If I see that your pants are too long, I can take care of it. I usually convince people and that way I can make a few pesos.”

And, while awaiting beautification, you and your buddies can have a go at a game of billiards at the table in the back.

“I’ve always been innovative business-wise,” says Genao proudly of the salon-tailor-billiards parlor.

“I came up with the billiards idea because I know people get a little restless when they are waiting.”

We hate this so much. It’s bad enough trying to fight off a woman throwing Eendi or Cucci handbags at our face while we’re trying to get our boyfriend’s name airbrushed onto our acrylics; we don’t need some weirdo trying to hem our pants as well. Seriously, people. Let’s keep it classy, ok?
