What is the strangest Salon name you\'ve ever seen? - tanTALK

Have you ever seen a name that turns you away from the salon? or make it sound low class? How did you go about choosing the name for your salon? Have you changed your name before?

I have to share this name. When we were doing our research and talking with family about opening our salon, my brother-in-law came up with this name for our salon.
Sun Your Buns. It was comical but for the upscale area that we are in I can just imagine what the potential clients would think. Copper Cove Tan goes over much better.

T N'A Tans - take a wild guess what kind of clientele they have there.

I remember seeing a place called "Another Tanning Salon" somewhere.

Tanning Barn - now how much would you really be willing to pay in (or expect from) a BARN?!?!

Years ago, Phenix City was known as Sin City. They had gambling, prostitutes, murders, etc. They had a movie made after it, "The Phenix City Story" & a book. So, I decided to name my salon Sun City. Sort of a take-off on the Sin City thing!

I remember this small town salon name from a couple of years ago.. Friends & Lovers.
No explinaion needed.

I think my favorite was "Beauty and the Beach"... I came across it only one day while doing a little research for a trip I was taking. I always look up a local salon to tan at while away... I loved it!

I like Sun City..."Tanning Barn" -- that reminds me of some other Barn...it sounds like you should milk the cows & then tan!

What about "Salon Skid Mark" they only have tanning beds.
They have to do a lot of cleaning between clients.
