Ideas for Beauty Salon Names

What's in a name? Some say nothing. I say everything! Isn't it true that you wouldn't give another look to something if its name didn't strike you? You wouldn't. We're all too judgmental. Something like a beauty salon, which boasts of beautification and screams for attention, definitely needs to have a name that attracts people like flowers do to bees. There are some factors like your target clientele and the location of your salon that need to be taken into account before you name it. This Buzzle article will help you with some ideas for beauty salon names that you can use as a basis to come up with one for yours.

Your Name
Your salon needs an identity. And you're the best person who can render this identity to it by doing something as simple as including your own name in the name of the salon. Of course, it does not necessarily have to be something tacky. There are a lot of things that you can do with your name to incorporate it as a salon name. One idea, however cliche it may sound, is to use alliterations and come up with fancy names for your beauty salon. For instance, if your name begins with the letter 'S', you can use names like Sophie's Sparkle or if it's the letter 'K' then you could do something like Karen's Kuts and Kurls. These are just some very rudimentary examples, but you get the drift, right? Plus, using your own name gives others less chances of using the rest of the name too.

Play of Words
Another way to attract a lot of attention, and in turn, a lot of customers is to use a name that has an interesting play of words in it. A good example of this is 'Curl Up and Dye', which is already the name of a salon, so don't bother with that one. Puns and phrases can be turned into something really innovative, when you sit down and think about them with a fresh mind. Make sure that all the words you use are related to the various treatments and services that you will be providing at your salon. Plus, the name should have a name that appeals and entices people to come and visit you. You can't name your salon something like Crème Brûlée and expect people to miraculously guess that it's a hair and body salon.

Foreign Language
There are many reasons why you can think of using words from languages other than the predominantly spoken one in your area, in the name of your salon. It can add a bit of culture to the name, especially if you have roots in another country. Plus, using foreign words in your salon's name raises the enigma factor in the name and people will get curious about your salon and will definitely want to not only find out what it means, but also find out what are the services that you provide. Keep one thing in mind though: don't use a word that is extremely obscure. Stick to words that people are more likely to be familiar with. Or you can simply choose a fancy word and get it translated in the language of your choice and use it within your salon's name.

Final Result
When a person walks into a beauty salon, he/she has an idea of what he/she wants the ultimate result to be when walking out of that door. You can use this expectation of the clients as an idea for your beauty salon's name. For this, you can conduct a covert survey and find out what people expect from a beauty salon. Once you know what they want, choose the perfect word that represents their expectations and use it in the name. Alternatively, you can also do another thing. You can use a word that will sum up the final result that you, as the owner of the beauty salon are guaranteeing to every person that walks into the door of your salon. It could be glamor, style, metamorphosis, subtlety, etc. or a combination of them. Just make sure you find the perfect word and live up to the claim that you make.

Coming up with the perfect name for your beauty salon is just one of the many steps that you need to take to establish your business. But it sure is one of the most important ones because, it is the first impression that your prospective clients will have of your salon. So, think well and come up with something truly original and something totally YOU!
