Its just very bad marketing - which can only be expected given the original name of the salon. Obama is name that is becoming bigger than the actual person, but as his popularity goes up or down, the salon will be affected by association.

Would be much better to do something like a special Obama haircut as a short term marketing ploy.

I PERSONALLY LOVE THE STYLIST. IT'S MORE OF A SOFT LOOK. I HAVE BEEN A CLIENT OF THE STYLIST SINCE 05. I REALLY LOVE THEIR WORK AND NOW I LOVE IT EVEN MORE THAT IT WAS NAMED OBAMAS HAIR DESIGN. THEY SPECIALIZE IN BLACK BEAUTY.

Will people ever realize that Obama is a politician not a savior?
