How to choose the name
Your own name is almost always the best choice
In makeup, clients ask "who did your makeup?", not "where?". A name with your first name turns every piece of work you post into a direct recommendation.
Avoid acronyms that only the trade knows
"MUA" is known by makeup artists, but many clients do not know it. Use it in your Instagram handle if you like, and write "makeup artist" or "makeup" in your bio and on your booking page.
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.
Frequently asked questions
What should I name my business if I travel to clients?
A name that does not depend on a place. "On location" fits better in your bio and in the description of each service, along with the areas you cover and whether you charge a travel fee.
Should I put "bridal" in the name?
Only if you want to focus almost entirely on weddings. If you also do events, photo shoots or lessons, a general name lets you show everything without confusing anyone.
Can my business name be the same as my personal Instagram?
It can, but it is better to keep a separate business account. There you post only work, prices and your booking link, so a new visitor understands in seconds what you offer.
