Stuck on deciding a business name

[Myah Briggs]

Hi all,

My business partner and I are finding it really difficult to come up with a business name.

I want to be a male-friendly salon. Not male-exclusive, but a place where men still comfortable to come.

I am renting space in a hair salon.

The issue is, my partner thinks we should not have the word "beauty" in the name cos it could put men off.

I disagree because how will potential clients know what we do?

he sez that we can just say what we do in our website.

I'm stumped and Its very confusing.

We want something playful, fun and quirky.

We are thinking of having pop-art as our theme and aesthetic for the business.

The names we have come up with so far are 'Charlie B for Beauty"-he doesn't like this cos of the word "beauty" in the name but I like it. Also, "Looking Good Charlie" and "Hello Bobbi".

We chose Charlie and Bobbi cos they are uni-sex names.

The services I will be doing are facials, waxing, tanning, lash lifting, tinting, eye brow extensions, manicures, pedicures and shellac.

Advice will be much appreciated.

Thank you!

Personally I don't like names with Beauty in them. There are tons. Stand up and be different. With the correct promotion people will know what you do without having to put it in your company name.

Think of some of the biggest brands in the world, Apple, Nike, Adidas etc etc. They aren't self explanatory yet everyone knows who they are. I find the quirkier/unusual names stick in peoples minds more.

Thanks so much Banner Penguin for your thoughts.

I see your point, and my business partner has also explained this to me.

However, those particular brands are recognisable world-wide.

They were also originally called Apple Computer and Nike Apparel

being a tiny beauty business in a hair salon makes me wonder whether we would be able to get away with it...

I agree, definitely no 'beauty' in the name.

How about...
Uni-Groom
Hers&Sirs
The Groom Room
Vanity Valet

I actually love 'Looking Good Charlie' and 'Hers & Sirs'. Both these names are so different and quirky and think they would go great with your pop art theme. I Agree to avoid the word 'beauty' in your name.

The Groom Room is the Pets At Home pet groomers... Not so keen.

Hers&Sirs is good.
And I like Uni-Groom

Kriss Kross, thanks so much for going to the effort of thinking up some name for us!

We are loving Hers & Sirs! Thanks heaps!
