A salon sign is a window or door sign, most of them LED-lit, that tells people walking or driving past that the salon is open and which services it offers. M1 Nail & Beauty Supply stocks LED open signs and service signs from AYD, LED service signs and a programmable full-colour sign from Champion, and an open sign in four colour and layout styles from MNBS.

How to choose a salon sign
- Size it for the window. AYD HSO0164 and the Eyelash Extension sign are 60 x 30 cm, HSO1452 and HSO0224-2 are 48 x 24 cm, the slim Nails and Hair signs 28 x 68.5 cm, the Champion service signs 23.8" x 11" and the programmable sign 41.25" x 16".
- Fixed or programmable. Open and service signs show one fixed word; the Champion programmable sign takes your own text in 14 display formats.
- Match your services. Pair an open sign with one sign for each main service, such as Nails plus Eyelash Extension, so passers-by see what you offer.

Salon sign FAQ
Can I change the words on an LED salon sign?
Only on the Champion Full Color Programmable LED Sign, which you program with your own text, such as services, hours or a promotion, in 14 display formats. The AYD, Champion service and MNBS signs show one fixed word or phrase, so choose the wording you need when you order.
Can LED salon signs be hung outdoors?
Hang them inside, facing out through the glass. Our listings give no outdoor or weather rating for these signs, so keep them out of rain, snow and direct sun. A sign behind the window is still easy to read from the street, especially once it is dark.
Where should I hang an open sign?
In the window or door nearest the entrance, at a height people on the sidewalk see without looking up, and angled so drivers can read it too. Switch it on only during opening hours, so the sign always tells the truth about whether you can take walk-ins.
