Cool Barbershop Names
Your salon should attract men.

Unique Barbershop Names
A cool barbershop name is not right for every male salon. In the end, your name must fit what’s unique about you and your salon.
A unique name should tell your story. Not your full story. But incorporate some element that is unique to your business. Think about things like where you’re from, if there is a certain service you offer that few others do, or if you’re schooled in a certain way.
These can all be sources of inspiration for telling your story. Your name should not literally tell your story. It should just be inspired by it. It can be as vague as using a street name where you went to barber school. Even if people don’t know immediately what it stands for, it becomes a conversation starter and it makes your name unique.
Let’s go through some unique barber shop name ideas to illustrate the point.

Funny Barbershop Names
Using humor can be smart when choosing a barbershop name. Funny barber shop names are typically more memorable than any other type of name. Fun barbershop names also make your shop feel more approachable as people get that you’re not taking yourself too seriously.
Funny names work really well for Barbershops. The only time I’d recommend against it is if you run a really high-end barbershop. If that’s the case, you shouldn’t really be approachable but rather be distanced with a cool or classy barbershop name.

- Lookin’ Sharp Barber

Classy & Elegant Barbershop Names
Do you run a high-end barbershop? Then you should consider an elegant name that reflects your classy brand.
