How to choose the name

  1. Think about the sign

    A barbershop lives on the clients who walk past the door. A name of one or two words reads from the sidewalk and looks good on the window, the apron and the cape.

  2. Look at your competition before you choose

    "The Straight Razor" and "Main Street Barbers" are popular, so there is probably one in your city already. Adding your neighborhood or your name ("Marcus's Straight Razor") makes it yours without losing the style.

  3. Before you decide, check that it is free

    Search the name on Instagram, on Google Maps for your city and in the USPTO trademark database. If another business in your field already uses it nearby, pick another: it saves you confusion and legal trouble.

  • Clients book themselves from your link

    They pick a day and time without texting you.

  • WhatsApp reminder

    Your client confirms with one button. From the Estudio plan up.

  • Mark who showed up

    When the appointment ends, it asks if the client showed up and how they paid

Frequently asked questions

Barbershop or barber shop?

Both are understood. Pick one spelling and use it on your sign, your Instagram and your Google listing, so people find the same name everywhere.

Does a name with my own name still work if I hire barbers later?

Yes, many barbershops grow under the founder's name. Keep in mind that some clients may ask to be served by you.

Do I have to register the name?

It is not required to get started, but registering it as a trademark with the USPTO can protect you if another shop wants to use it. Search the USPTO database before you choose.
