A fun and clever nail salon names are more memorable than any other nail salon name. They evoke emotion and our brains are better at remembering things that have an emotion attached to them than not.
But that’s not the only reason why a funny hair salon name is a good idea.
Fun names also make you more approachable. It signals that you’re not taking life too seriously and people like that. The name alone says a lot about your character and people almost feel as they know you even though they might not yet have been to your nail bar or salon.
The only caution I would add to funny salon names is that it’s probably not a good fit if you’re trying to portray a high-end, luxury image. In those cases, you actually don’t want to be approachable but rather distanced and “put on a pedestal”. We’ll cover more of that in the list of fancy nail salon names.
