i use the name Pretty & Pampered. i do tend to pamper people a lot and well you've got to be good looking to get your nails done by me! lol only kidding, it sounded nice. dunno if it will work but it's what i will/am using. x

great name pretty and pampered, has a really calming ring to it! I named my salon Nail Heaven, 1 - because we only offer nail treatments, and 2 - because we do everything, glitters, shells, wacky designs, diamantes, manicures, paperclip design ...............Nail heaven!

Mine is
PINK!
I was '@ your fingertips' before that but I do loads of pedicures, nail art & spray tans and didn't want to limit my business by the name also thee are a few places round my way that use a play on the words Nail/fingers etc.

WHY PINK!?

Well everything I do is for women and what is the universal girly colour?... PINK! is the colour for us eh???????

It has been well rcieved & I've had loads of comments from people & decoratd accordingly it makes the salon an inviting cheerful place to be.

Alialy

we are called FINGERPAINTS nail salon,

Just thought it sounded cute and fun!!
Fingerfun!

hi all, this is an interesting thread and I thought I would put my two pence worth in as well

I am workiing from home and decided to cal my business "twice as nice" I wanted to think of a catchy name and so I got some polo shirts for myself with "twice as nice" embroided on, I wandered round town when not working wearing my poloshirt and quicky realised "twice as nice" meant absolutly nothing to anyone but myself. I then had to send my uniform back to "Vantel" to get them to add on underneath "twice as nice" the words NAIL STUDIO. now that made more sense.

Twice as nice is what I want my business to be, twice as nice as the competition, twice as nice experience for my clients, products that are twice as nice. its difficult to do that but the essesnce is focused on being better.

it also inspires me to aim for reach and maintain this standard and everytime i think of my business name it encourages me to work harder at what I want to become and acheive as a Nail Tech.

At some point in my career I hope and aim to move from home into a high street salon, at that point I will change my busines name to my own name with the words "professional nail studio" underneath. it is that way with most top professionals in the beauty industry.... Marco Benito , Leighton Denny and in hair Nicky clarke, Trevor Sorbie etc it is very professional and I hope that I will one day I am skilled enough to have my own business and studio that I can call after my own name.

gosh so many great names.

i love Get Nailed & Fake It

as i've posted i though about *Acrylic Dreams*

but since reding the thread and posting it's got me thinking about names.

i also like Nail Candy

and my little boy said he thought i should call it "The Golden Nail"

such a great thread when i finally go mobile or get a shop, i will be straight back to look at all the suggestions.

im opening a place hopefully at the end of september if my plumber and plasterer descide to do their work and it will be called 'Nailtastic'. my mum picked it and everyone says they like it so ill stick with it!!

I was thinking of calling my salon (when i get it) 'Holden Back The Years'
because Holden is my surname and every lady out there wants to hold back on those years, Nails & Beauty certaintly does that!!!!

I used to be called "Nothing But Nails", have have relocated and now am going to offer Waxing, so have come up with a new name "Xtremities".

As I am mainly dealing with extremities (hands and feet)

Ive come up with a few...... what do you think

Fairy Tale Nails

Arty Claws

Crafty Claws

Cornish Claws or even Clever Claws

Tip 2 Toe Talons

Magic Talons

Nail Magic

Nail Crazy

My boyfriend thought of the name for mine (although only mobile at the moment). We decided on Top Tips, we did think of Teris talons, or the talon salon but I prefer the first.

Hi my home based salon is named Cutey Beauty, cutey as in cuticles and beauty as for beautiful nails and also i knew i would nt to branch out and do some beauty treatments too in the future.

we called ours dream nails, as that's what lady's want "dream nails", or dream of dream nails..........
after people, salons and techs were trying to home in on the name, we ltd in 2002 and then re-registered it 2005 with a new company number, altho the name is dormant, it cant be used
now we are looking to stop other salons using the name...................
they should get their own, or they will be a salon with no name!!!!!
xxxxx

that sounds great................
make sure someone doesnt' limited the name before you get your high street salon..............
you wont be able to use the name then!!!!!

how about
"all that glitter - tips"

all that gliiters are nails!
