Need a name for new business

fliss

Hi there all you clever folks,
Have finally decided to take the plunge with my daughter and open a small nail and beauty studio.
Everything going fine at the moment but we are having trouble with names.
We want something that sounds different but not tacky,something that is memorable and something that is easy to say over the phone (nothing worse than tripping over your words when answering the phone !!).Also something that will look good on the signage and stationery etc.
We have thought of a few things ourselves but are unsure,also family and friends have given us a few ideas.
I like Bellisimo,and Bella Bella (motif to go between the two Bellas,if you get my drift-a heart maybe???),I also like Beau as well but it could do with another word with it as it is a bit short ???
My daughter likes things like Ruby Red,Scarlet,Magenta (notice a bit of a red fetish here!!!)
Don't want anything that sounds old fashioned as we want to appeal to a wide age range,but then we don't want anything too funky that will scare off the older clientele !!!
Would be grateful if any of you have got any ideas or suggestions that you could give me as we really need to sort it out and soon as there is such a lot of stuff we can't get done until we have settled on something.
Look forward to all your replies(hopefully) and thanking you all in anticipation !!!
Fliss

if you are intending to have a website, then check a domain site as you might find the perfect name only to find that somene else owns the domain! (this happened a few times for us). don't name your business before checking this out or it will cause problems in the future. good luck, I can't think of a good name without it sounding like a brothel!

What about 'The Beauty Boutique'?

Miss Manicure, Vanilla, Rooms (then whatever street number the building is) - eg Rooms 56, The Edge, Nail Mania, Nailtique.... will try and think of some more later.

OOPs the 'nail' names may not be so appropriate - I have just read your post to find that it's beauty as well a just nails - sorry!

A play on words perhaps: Beau Beauty?

Beau Spa

Scarlet Spa

NB: Nail & Beauty

Savvy_Sue

But DEFINITELY check domain names and local businesses before you get attached to a particular name: several of those mentioned are very similar to existing businesses of different kinds.

Start it with an "A" gets to the top of any listing/directory

I owned a hair salon and had the same problems but was away over Christmas and saw one called The 'name' Hair Company and I thought that was quite classy!
How about 'The Sassy Nail and Beauty Company'??? Or Red or your family name?
Or
'The Crimson Nail and Beauty Company' then you get high up in the listings too?
