Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Hello all, Not child related (hope that's ok?) but I know you all have creative brains and may like to input your suggestions. My hairdresser is opening up a salon and can't think of a name. She doesn't want anything 'hair related' like tangles, snippets, cutting corners. It's a unisex salon which she wants to appeal to the old and young e.g - revive, vibe. So if you use a salon with a great name or have always thought '____ would be a great name for a salon!' then I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thanks! ppp Quote
Cait Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 always thought 'curl up and dye' was funny, but I'll have a think Quote
Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) -----------------how about "simply beautiful" - I always go in to the hairdressers dreaming of coming out having beautiful locks - sadly not in reality - but we can all dream !!!! - went to pre-school with mad hair couple of weeks ago - you know nothing can be done - a lovely little girl said "like your hair" - she really meant it as well - or you could go the book I love at pre-school "need a trim Jim" - ha ha Dot Edited May 20, 2009 by Guest Quote

My daughter is on the case - did you guess? or go to http://nameyoursalon.com/index.php Edited May 20, 2009 by Cait Quote
Beau Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Okay, so it's really hard not to think of 'hair' related things for a hairdressers! Urban Roots, The Fringe, The Cutting Room, Different Wavelength Quote
Gezabel Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I have seen one called 'CRE 8' the CRE is written within the open bits of a pair of scissors and the handle is the 8 bit difficult to describe but very effective! Quote
HappyMaz Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 We have a local hairdressers called "Heads of State" but as a long term hairdresser-phobe I always worry that if I went in there my hair would look even more of a state than before I went in! Maz Quote
Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 what is her name? before having kids i was in hairdressing full time and thought if i ever had a salon of my own i'd call it Deb'n'hair!! Quote
Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) 'Goldilocks' (well it is an early years forum) or 'C-IF-I care' if she wants to appeal too young ones Edited May 20, 2009 by Guest Quote

Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 My very first job was in a hairdressers called "Barnet Fair" (not sure if this is cockney rhyming slang for hair- Barnet, I think means 'head' or 'head of hair'). I have very happy memories of my time there, it was in the mid 70's, my boss and his wife were in their early 20's (I was 16 fresh out of school). It was unisex, we had a juke box, pin ball machine ( boss was mad on "The WHO" and won the machine from a competition in the Sun, used to be own by John Entwistle). I used to wear blue/white dungerees with white polo shirt (our uniform). Thought we looked fab but looking back now, I looked more like Andy Pandy than trendy It was "the place to be" on Saturdays, and young teenagers would travel from other towns to come to us. Previous owner used to do mainly old people, my boss wasn't so keen on doing 'sets' and 'silver rinses', so after he bought the shop and anyone over the age of about 50 yrs came in he would play the Monty Python Album on the stereo at full blast so they wouldn't come back We all used to smoke , staff & customers , We were the first place in town to give men streaks / perms :rolleyes: and the pay was good too. :wacko: Happy memories.

Possum Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Haha, how funny, I was a hairdresser in the seventies too. I left school in 76 and went straight into hairdressing because my friend did. We were all finger waves and pin curls and shampoos and sets though - boss frowned on blowdrying! Needless to say we had the old ladies for weekly sets and children coming for their fringes trimmed!

HappyMaz Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Needless to say we had the old ladies for weekly sets and children coming for their fringes trimmed! I really must start wearing my reading glasses more often - I had visions of little children coming along in their school uniforms to have their fingers trimmed! Maz Quote

Maz Ha ha. Well we didn't do that often. My boss said he wanted to put a notice up one summer after a particularly busy time with fringes saying 'We restore eyesight in children' Quote
