Well, owning a salon is hard work. so i suggest making the investment and spending as much as you can on it. You want to make an impression on your customers.





For starters, don't try to cram alot of stuff into your salon. I don't know how big your space is going to be, but the more you have in your space, the more junked up and messy it is going to look.





Next, make sure you have a nice color scheme. You don't want it to be TOO vibrant, but not dull either. I would recommend dark blues, light blues, browns, and white. You want colors that aren't too girly, like pinks or purples.





Something that really welcomes customers, is a sitting area. Most salons only have a row of about 5 or 6 plastic chairs in the front of the salon. Get nice comfortable chairs, that are appealing.

a chair like that is a good idea, its comfortable, yet very stylish.





If you have the money, an area with some water, coffee, and cookies is veryyy nice. If you offer a lot to the customers, they will offer more to you, making your business successful. People often bring children to get there hair cut, and the last thing parents want to do is sit there looking at outdated magazines salons have had for years.





Also, if you want. Make it more than just a salon, maybe expand your hair salon if it does well the first year, and offer a place for nails, or massages. A spa maybe.





Again, the more you offer, the more money you can charge, and the bigger you will get.





I know, some people can't afford these things. but this is what i suggest.





a name i like, is





Make The Cut.


haha. i know, corny, but catchy (:





hope this helped and gave you a few ideas.I'm opening a hair salon...any tips for a great one?
what makes a great salon is STAR QUALITY. make coming to your place an experiance, rather than a sort of task or hastle. make people feel waited on and pampered, like a celeb. small treats or fun drinks add to the atmophere.


i think a fun name would be something modern, like


-BUTTER


-THE HILLS


or use a person's name, like, sarah Jessica or something chic
What makes a great salon is people who know how to cut hair really good.
