How to Choose a Salon Name

Choosing a salon name should take time and consideration. Your salon name offers the first experience with your brand, so you want to ensure you communicate your brand and services clearly. Consider these tips before you make a final selection.

Consider Your Desired Clientele

Your target clientele and the services they want should help you narrow down your choices. You might consider:

• Specific demographics
• Salon services your targeted demographic uses most
• Desired looks for target clientele (for example: modern, classic, trendy)

Although you may like a funny name, you may want to use a more classic name if you serve clients who are predominantly older and prefer classic hairstyles. Understanding who your clients are and what they represent help you determine the right salon name that fits your brand.

Choose a Name that Fits Your Branding

Your branding should appeal to your clientele as well as communicate who you are and what you want to promote. Your name reflects your branding so consider these elements of your brand as you choose your salon name:

• Style: Classic, modern, minimalist
• Vibe: Fun, sassy, quirky, calm
• Owner values: Diversity, inclusion 

Consider Your Location and Services

Your name should also communicate what services you offer, if practical. For example, if you specialize in barber services or specific beauty treatments, maybe your name should communicate that. Your location is also a potential factor; for example, if your salon is located in a city near a major landmark or city, you might try to work that into the name.

Conclusion

When launching a salon business, choosing the perfect name solidifies your brand, so try brainstorming a few options and talk them over with friends, family, and business associates.
