Advertise in your local newspaper
Put flyers on community boards, shop windows (if they allow), on car windscreens in your local shopping centre.

Maybe display in your salon window an introductory discount, like a grand opening special for one week only.

Tell your friends and family to spread the word.

Go to www.ukfunctions.co.uk

On that site there's a section for you to add a photo of your salon, and tell them exactly what you offer.

Its about £3 pounds per week to advertise, but if you contact them and explain its your first add with them they will allow you to upload your details for free.

Hope this helps.

Flyers Are A Very Good Idea. Colorful Ones That Catch Attention. You Could Distribute Them and Also Put Them On Poles, Pillars, Trees etc.
You Could Also Put An Ad In The Local Newspaper. Hindi And English.
Another Way to Get Peoples' Attention is To Elaborately Decorate and Light Your Salon During Its Opening Weeks.

One of the most affordable and easiest ways I found to advertise was through www.theonlinemarketinggurus.info For a company like your size its the best way to get valuable online advertising. Its not free, but it is very expensive for the ROI

They provide an affordable advertising solution that focuses on bringing your local customer to your business. You will get advertising on Google and Yahoo and all other major search engines as well as placement on high traffic websites with the online marketing gurus platform.

For Free I've used Back Page and of course Graigslist, but now that I'm using the 3 Zip code plan from the online marketing gurus, I rarely post to either free site.

Thanks

Word of mouth advertising is inexpensive and effective.

Ask everyone who enters your salon to sign up to receive your broadcast email.

On your web site have a place on the first page to sign up to receive your e-newsletter.

Send out an e-newsletter every two weeks talking about the latest in hair care. ...or whatever.

Invite your subscribers to forward your emails on to their friends. It shows their friends that they have good taste.

Also, personalize every email.

Use some inexpensive service to do it. ...see if Yahoo or Linked In or someone has a free program.

Also, go wherever women congregate. Women's Chamber of Commerce, schools, churches, athletic clubs, wherever and invite them to have a hair styling fashion show. Do it as a fund raiser.

Join the club and get the membership list. Contact the members and let them know you're one of the gang. Invite them all to come to your web site and sign up to receive your e-newsletter.

See a pattern here?

Does that help?
