How to choose the name
Say it the way you spell it
Clients will recommend you by word of mouth. If a name has silent letters, double letters or hard foreign words, the person who heard it will not find you on Instagram. Say it out loud to someone and ask them to write it down.
Leave room to grow
If you only do nails today but plan to add brows or hair, avoid a name that locks you into one service. "Maple Studio" works for any service; "Maple Nails" does not.
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
Is a plain name or a foreign-word name better?
Whichever your clients can say without effort. Words like "studio," "beauty" and "nails" are part of everyday speech. Less common foreign words are often misspelled, which makes you harder to find in search.
Can I use my own name?
Yes, and it is a good option if clients come for you. Keep in mind that if you ever sell the business or add more stylists, the name stays tied to you.
What if the name already exists in another city?
If it is in another state or a faraway city and it is not a registered trademark, the two can usually live side by side. Check the USPTO database first. If it is in your city, or registered in your field, pick another.
