How to choose a name for your salon

Hairdresser or salon in the name

Having hairdresser or salon in your name is a practical solution. It makes it clear what you offer and helps customers find you. It also creates trust because when customers see the word on your door, they know they are in the right place.

But what about a name that really stands out?

Name and storefront

A unique name and a unique storefront can be a great way to attract customers. Think of it as your salon's business card. When people see your salon, you want them to think it sounds exciting instead of thinking they have seen it before. If you put pink film on the windows or paint your front door orange, you will attract attention, regardless of what the salon is called. Pinterest is a great place to find inspiration for storefronts.

How to come up with a more unique name

Consider adding a personal touch. What about a word that describes your style? Perhaps you can find inspiration in your passion for hair, the products you use, or the atmosphere you want to create. If you want to go all the way, you can name the salon after the problem you solve for your customers instead of what you sell.

Many people also choose a name based on their own, for example Hairdresser Hanne or Hair by Hanne.

Check that the name is available

Always check whether the name has already been taken or is a registered trademark before making your decision.

Final thoughts

Having hairdresser or salon in your name is not the end of the world, and it can help in many ways. If you want to give your salon more personality, you can do so with creative decor, a new storefront, or a new name. If you need inspiration, you are welcome to visit our showroom or write to me.
