HAMILTON, NY—In an unexpected move, Karen Still, owner of a local downtown hair salon, changed the name of her business without any clear motivation behind the action. The business, formerly known as Karen’s Kuts and Kolors, has now changed its name to Karen’s Cuts and Colors, a move that has confused and startled many members of the Hamilton community. Hannah Simmons, a sophomore at Colgate, reported initial confusion at the change in the business’ name. She said, “I was walking downtown for my monthly appointment to get my hair kolored, and I went to where Karen’s usually is only to find that it wasn’t the KKK anymore. It was some business called the KCC, which really shocked me.”
There is much speculation as to why the titular Karen chose to change the spelling of her business’ name. The official statement from the business claims the spelling was altered “on a whim, for no reason in particular.” However, rumors are circulating that the name change was due to an ongoing lawsuit with the Kardashian family over copyright infringement surrounding the use of the letter K.
When asked if the spelling change was to distance the business from Kim’s Knitting and Krafts of Oneida, NY, Still responded that she had never heard of the group and was concerned that they may have taken her business’ signature KKK nickname without permission.
Karen also wants to clarify with her clientele that the new Karen’s Cuts and Colors does offer the same services that Karen’s Kuts and Kolors did, including both kuts and kolors.
