Jemima, curtains, YES! As Soon as I seen the photo I thought of long dark velvet puddle curtains with nice curtain ties! They would nicely frame a window logo too if you did go down that road

Like the idea of curtains - though they will have to be purpose made as you don't want people looking at the lining. What about a couple of hanging baskets - one at either end below he sign - just to soften the frontage?

if you could get a black or dark grey puddle curtain with turquoise embelishment - that would look beautiful and match everything nicely
This is the outside of my salon and one close up of my front windows. It's really sunny outside now and we have dark tinted windows so it was impossible to get a good picture without all the reflections on the glass. It looks a lot better in person and the posters show up much more.
I've got more plans for the outside of the shop. Right up top on the roof above my sign is a light box so I need to get a backlit sign made up for that and I want to plant some sort of flowers alond the sides of my footpath to make a nice edge. I used to have 8 bright coloured signs hanging outside from under the lattice trim and they were really eyecatching but had some spelling mistakes so they are being re-done at the moment.

Here is ours, we will have the canopy changed for a more sophisticated one eventually as we don't like it. It does hide the shutters though, so need to find a good alternative.
We have frosting on the window but you can't really see it clearly.
I would be very open on options to change the canopy!
Hope this works!

Bumping this - as I'd like people who missed it first time round to get involved!
Thank you ttaylor, I have been searching the internet looking for ideas and know they can work around the shutters. Just seems so expensive, like everything nowadays.
Just really dislike the canopy but had no option at time of purchasing the salon. It was plain black so we just brightened it up a bit with our colour scheme.
Will keep looking

This is our window of the salon I have my business in and that I am a sister company of. It is amazing and it really does grab the customers attention. I have my hair extension sign in the window as well but I feel this alone is enough to bring in the customers and then they see my fabulous area as well once inside.
