I just recently decided to start a makeup/makeover business, where I render my services to brides, models, or people that just want a makeover. I already have a name I want to use but I don't want to put 'makeover' behind it ex. Kim's Makeover. Because it seems like every other makeover businness has that word behind their name. Is there something else that's creative that I could use? Because obviously the name can't stand alone. Thank you

Some other words that come to mind -

Personal Image Consultant
Cosmetic Application
Glamour Service

Or don't have the type of service in the name. For example, there's a service profiled on a television series called "Glam Fairy" You can't steal that name of course, but it doesn't really say exactly she does.

I would do something like,

New You Personal Style (or whatever you name your business)

- Make-up consulting and application
- Hair styling
- Personal Shopping and clothing consultation

Available for:
Weddings, bachelorette parties, proms or just call for a new every-day look!

Thanks a lot! I will definitely try to work with some of your ideas.

You could play with the word 'transform' or 'transformation.' Maybe that could be the name all by itself, with a subtitle, 'a new you, by Claire.' I like the name Claire, which means clear in French, and sounds good for skin, eyes, a fresh look.

I wouldn't use a first name in the title, and not as a possessive.
Paul Mitchell sounds so much better than Paul's Hair Products.
Sounds too much like Joe's Used Cars down on the corner.

Wow! Thanks Joypulv. I like the idea of using transformation. And the 'Claire' thing is pretty creative too.

Of course being found these days is all about searching the internet, so don't forget to use the usual words somewhere in your ads (makeover, etc).
