Intro
So, you are going to open a beauty shop. It seems that everything is ready: starting with the place and finishing with the best staff in the city. But, there is one more important detail – the name! It is that trifle that distinguishes the beauty salon. Although maybe, you think that the name isn't that important, the service and the staff are precious. Of course, they are, but how will people get to know about them without visiting? Here's where we see why a catchy name is essential. It attracts clients.
This article will speak about the central notions you must remember while naming your beauty salon in 2021.
Tips on naming your beauty shop
The beauty salon name isn't just a word above the entrance. That crucial detail distinguishes you from competitors as it is the 1st thing your clients see. The best name is the word, which your customers won't forget.
You have to think about who'll visit your beauty shop. You work with and for people. That's why, first of all, let's decide on the target audience. Who is your primary client? Will your beauty shop provide services for women? Maybe it's a barbershop? Are you working with a specific age group or with all ages?
It is also essential to fully understand your beauty salon's whole set of services. They define the name as well.
For example, if your priority is hair, you better mention it in the title. It can be "Your Style," "Happy Hair," "Good Hair Place," etc. Anyway, it should tell your customers that they can get all the hair services. If you want to open a SPA, the name should be associated with health and healthcare. It can be, for instance, "The Area of Health," "Healthy Life," etc. Well, you've got the idea.
The next thing to define is the type of beauty shop. Do you want to open a premium beauty salon, maybe a luxury, business, or economy? Customers should read it via the name as well. This way, you'll avoid misunderstandings, and your clients will be sure on which budget they could rely.
You should also think in advance about the style of your beauty salon: how the name correlates with interior design. Later you'll be making the advertisement, printing business cards and brochures together with promotion on social media. That's why the name should follow the style.
Let's think about how you see your future beauty salon name. Do you want it to be in English, French or Latin? Here you can free your imagination. It'll help a lot! Maybe, you want to add a lucky number? Or on the contrary, no need to add anything: minimalism is a trend.
Don't forget to research the competitors. Imagine you choose the perfect name, but there are three other beauty shops with similar names nearby. We don't want it. That's why you better look at your competitors and try to create something different. If there are, for example, three "Beauty Areas" and then the new beauty shop which is called "Ariel" appears, it'll attract attention. And that's what we need. So, here are the main points you have to remember while naming your beauty shop:
Lucidity
Associativity
Creativity
Sonority
Adequacy
Easy memorability
Names in French and Latin a pretty popular. Simply stay creative and don't overload the name with too many details.

Female names
They take the leading position among the most popular ways to name a beauty salon. Many owners call their businesses after their names, daughters' names, goddesses, female stars, fictional characters, etc. It sounds sophisticated, but the market is full of it.

#4 How to register a beauty salon name?
A beauty studio name works the same as human names do. You introduce your company to get a good 1st impression. We always want to be the best and avoid problems, that's why we need all these rules. First, let's look at a trademark – a legal term for a salon name + it covers design, signs, etc.
Trademark has the following functions:
Identification: standing out among competitors
Information: providing information about your beauty salon
Advertising: using unique signs and symbols to promote your company
To register your trademark, you have to consult the local rules. For the USA, they are the following:
Check whether the name is free to use: you can use this website.
Register the name with your state: it allows you to use the name in 1 state.
Register the name with the Federal Government: it's not required, do this if you are going to work more than in 1 state.
