Cheepo 3rd Gear October 5, 2013 Share October 5, 2013 (edited) Can anyone explain the popularity of French sounding names for small businesses like hair salons. I just saw this one in Toa Payoh: COZY DE BEAUTY. I don't even want to ask what it means... Then in Balestier, we have HAIR FIGURE DE SALON.
