Any thoughts on changing the name when taking over an existing salon? Pros, cons, liability of undisclosed debt, etc. Thanks

I think it depends how long the other name has been around and what kind of reputation it hasI was recenty considering changing the name of my salon but it has been around for 15 years and is very well known

French for "her street"? Don't know French but I been to New Awlins.Regardless of the meaning it is a classy-sounding name.

Yes, I think that is what it means BUT, that's not how the name was aquired.The original was nicknamed LARUE by here husband so when she opened the salon she named it Tan Larue. It just so happens that it mean something in another language!Intereting, huh?

When I took over my salon the name was Forever Tan Plus, I shortened it to Forever Tan, I kept it basically the same because people knew it as that

Mine was Classic Tanning/Classey Lady BotiqueI just shortend it to Classic Tan cause it had be there for several years. I wanted to change it to Electric Beach, but really thought I should leave it Classic.
