An Ohio salon owner thinks she hit the nail on the head with her business name — even though some residents don’t agree.
Dawn Moon, owner of Hand Jobs Nails & Spa, in Perkins Township, believes the name is good branding.
“You don’t want something that they can’t remember or that they can’t pronounce or say,” Moon told ABC. “In less than a week, I think the whole country knows about us. You can’t pay for that kind of advertising.”
It’s also literally what the spa does.
“If you go in and get your nose done, it’s called a nose job, right? Well, you come in and get your hands done, it’s a hand job!” Moon added.
Krystle, an employee at the salon, told The Post the cheeky name has been getting “mostly compliments” from patrons who’ve come in since the salon opened this week. Others “crack jokes,” she said.
But not everyone is laughing. Perkins Township Zoning Director, Megan Sherlund, said she’s gotten complaints about the sign’s suggestive nature.
Signs should not be “indecent or obscene, in nature,” Sherlund told ABC. “We have no stance on it other than we have to take into consideration the entire feel and community of Perkins Township.”
A decision on whether the sign passes zoning restrictions is due later this week. If it doesn’t, one worker vowed to fight for the name.
“If they reject it, then we’ll appeal it and then we’ll go to court,” Krystle said. “But the name of the salon will not change.”
