Now, let’s go through the barbershop name ideas!

Below are the different topics and barbershop name ideas we’ll cover today.

Cool Barbershop Names

Your salon should attract men.

I don’t want to sound stereotypic but men tend to be more attracted to cool and funky names. This is why I want to start this list with cool barber names that have a masculine ring to them.

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.

Catchy Barbershop Names

Like with funny salon names, a catchy barber shop name is typically more memorable than other names. By leveraging rimes and words that fit well together, you can achieve a catchy name that people won’t forget.

The examples in the list below are trying to achieve this.

Clever Barbershop Names

People appreciate it when there’s a thought behind your barbershop name. To achieve a clever barbershop name you can use names of tools you use, barber cut names or techniques that you use to also symbolize your salon brand.

Let’s look at some clever naming ideas.

Creative Barbershop Names

It’s easy to fall into the traditional barbershop names when trying to come up with a name. These are often stereotypical and not something that feels like a modern barbershop name.

If you want to create a concept that feels new and fresh, you probably want to come up with a creative barbershop name that signals that. To help you I’ve compiled a list of clever barbershop names below that signal creativity rather than being traditional and old fashion.

Classy & Elegant Barbershop Names

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

In fact, luxury and high-end brands are typically very different from regular brands. They have a history and a strong purpose. They don’t exist to cut hair or shave beards. They have a higher mission and reason for existing.

As naming a luxury business is so different compared to other salons, I’ve written a dedicated article about how to name a classy hair salon here. I recommend you check out this article in case you’re looking to start a luxury barbershop.

Classic, Vintage & Old School Barbershop Names

So the creative barbershop names weren’t for you?

Are you a barber where tradition and old standards are at the center? In the below list, I’ve tried to dust off some of the really classic barber shop names. These are the vintage, old school, type names that signal that you’re a salon with history and tradition.

Barber Nicknames

The name of your barbershop is one thing. But are you also trying to build a personal brand?

Then you might want to give yourself a cool barber nickname. Using a nickname is common among barbers. Even if a list of barber nickname ideas can be a good place to start, your nickname will ultimately be personal and something that reflects you.
