I don't really think it's a great name for a salon, but not because of the sexual connotations implied. I just think it's rather vague and silly. People could take it as you took, as a euphamism for a sexual act, and be offended. Or people could see it as getting your hair blown dry with a blow dryer ... but it's a stretch, and they have to think about it, and that's usually too much work. Or, they could see it as, "Wow, that was a really expensive place to get my hair cut, I have just blown all my money." I think it was an attempt to be provocative and make people talk, which is the goal of a lot of advertising. I just think they missed the mark.
I personally wouldn't care one way or another, if you get a good haircut, keep going there. Who care what the name is? If it really bothers you, tell the owner.
The name of my dog grooming business is "Cute & Curly". It's so incredibly stupid. I didn't name it, I bought it already named, with too much name-recognition to lose. It's catchy, people like it. I just think it's stupid. I would have named it "Hair of the Dog" had I had the choice.
Ask Shelteez what the name of the dog grooming shop she used to work at is! If you are offended by "Blown", you'll die over this! LOL!
I have always thought "Curl Up and Dye" was the funniest name for a salon ever.

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
