100 Cool Salon Names

If you work for someone else forever, you may earn enough to live, but you will never become rich. To actually make a good living, you have to become an entrepreneur as well. Opening up your own hair salon is the first step toward increasing your revenue and developing an extensive clientele. Unfortunately, the competition can be tough in this industry. With only a few tools needed and the cost of rent, anyone can open their own hair salon. If you want to earn money, your salon has to stand out from the crowd. One of the ways to do this is by thinking of the perfect, cool salon name.

Naming Your Hair Salon

To start with, you need to begin brainstorming unique names for your hair salon. Start to think about your ideal client. Are you catering to hipsters or families? Do you want little, old ladies to come in for their weekly hair styling, or are you looking to attract the well-to-do?

Once you know who your salon is supposed to attract, you can start brainstorming names. Hair-related verbs like dye, style, curl, color, blow dry, cut and perm are all great ways to show what your business does. Rhyming names or alliteration (having all the name start with the same letter) can help you to stand out. You can also use your own name or name your salon after your unique specialty. In addition to telling clients what you do, naming it after your specialty means that more of the clients will come in for what you are best at, and you will get better reviews.
