Naming guide for your hair salon or barber shop

A salon name sets the mood before a customer sits down. Elegant names with a soft word and a salon or atelier suggest colour and styling, while sharp one-word names and a surname with sons suggest a barber and a hot towel. Decide which of those two rooms you are building before you look at names.

Booking is often done by phone or message, so the name has to be easy to say and spell. Puns are everywhere in hair, from shear to mane, so a pun that seems clever to you may be on the next high street already. A surname or a first name makes you harder to confuse with another shop.

Check how the name looks on the window, on a card and in a social media handle. Long names get cut off in a profile, and names with an ampersand need a decision about how to write it in a handle. The longest-name filter helps, and so does trying names in capitals.

Before you commit to a name

Search your local business register or company registry for the same name, and for names that look or sound almost the same.
Search the web, maps and the social networks you plan to use for businesses that already trade under it, especially in your own town and trade.
Look the name up yourself in the trademark register of your country. This site does not check trademarks and makes no claim that a name is free to use.
Check that a domain name and the social handles you want are available, or that you can live with a close variant.
Say it aloud, spell it to a friend over the phone and read it small on a sticker or a van door.

Questions

What suits a barber shop and what suits a hair salon?

Barber names lean on the classic and bold styles: a surname and sons, a razor or a fade word, a shop word such as barbers. Salons lean on elegant and modern: a first name, a soft word, atelier or studio.

Should I use my own name?

If you rent a chair or run a small salon, your name helps clients find you again and follow you. A brand name is better if you plan to hire and grow. Try both with the keyword box.

Are the pun names original?

They are short phrases written for this list, but hair puns are widely used, so search the name near you before you commit and think about whether you want to share it with the shop down the road.

How do I check a name is not already in use?

Search your area and the social networks, check your local business register and read your country's trademark register yourself. No generator can do this for you.
