From your garden? How is that going to work when it's raining?

Do you have a summer house? Studio?

It's just that I'm not sure I'd like to have my brows done in the open, outside.

Have you done any market research?

Hello. I work in marketing for a global brand - doesn't mean I'm the expert on your business by any means, but just wanted to give some context to my opinion.

As this is an at home business you will already be battling the sub-conscious impression of being less professional than a bricks and mortar store front. I think all the jokey names above don't help that, and only reinforce the impression that this business is not being taken as seriously as well established high street salons. People need to put a lot of trust in you if they are willing to let you work on their appearance and face.
So I would go for something simple and clear like 'your name' treatment rooms, or 'your name' beauty, then build your profile on Instagram and Facebook by posting lots of photos of your work, so that you yourself become known by name as the go-to professional in your area for these treatments, rather than trying to win people over with a joke name.

I don't mean to imply that you are not professional or not taking it seriously, I'm sure you are, but this is the kind of consumer psychology we consider when naming new products.

Please feel free to ignore me, this is only my opinion and the most important thing is you find a name which inspires you and allows your business to grow in the way you would like

Thanks CurlsLDN. I was thinking of something quite simple like; The Studio, What do you think of that?

You do need a bit more personalisation than that, otherwise no one will be able to find you via google search, on google maps, via social media etc.

You could go for 'the Studio, Winchester' (or whatever your town is) but that still only really works for people who already know what the studio does, better to include some reference to beauty or your services.
