We can all agree that Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter has a very unique name. That's because her mother made it up as a slight alteration of her maiden name, Beyince. Over the years, Ms. Carter has turned her name into a personal brand that pretty much means royalty, so it makes sense that people would want to be associated with her greatness. Naming children after celebrities is nothing new, just ask all the baby Khaleesis running around...but a hair salon? Bruh.

The "Beyonce Hair and Beauty Salon" is a real place in Peckham, London that has nothing to do with the Queen Bey. The Yelp page for the business has 17 photos of hairstyles and only one review from 2010, but no where on the page does it say if Beyonce is the owner's name, if it was inspired by Bey, or if it is just a ploy to get people in the door.

Beyoncé (the real one) does hold several patents to her name that keep companies from using it on electronics, perfumes, and a ton of other stuff, but it looks like "hair salons in southeast London" are fair game.
