Are you looking for the perfect name to make your tanning salon stand out and attract clients?
Well, you’ve arrived at the right spot!
Your tanning salon’s name is the cornerstone of your brand identity. It’s the first thing potential clients notice and can significantly impact their perception and decision to tan at your salon. A well-chosen name can drive your salon’s growth and success.
To help you on your naming journey, I’ve compiled a collection of tanning salon and bronzing studio name ideas.
Before diving into the list, I want to draw your attention to some important resources.
Workbook
A set of simple exercises to help you choose the best name for your new tanning salon business.
Branding Course Lesson
My tips when naming a business – one of the lessons in the free branding course (which I highly recommend you go through).
Practical Checks
In my naming guide PDF, you’ll find a checklist to choose a strong, memorable name. If you’re short on time, here are two vital points to remember.
Avoiding Legal Troubles
- Check if another business has trademarked your name. You can quickly search the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database or its equivalent in your country.
- Check Google to ensure no other tanning salon in your area uses your desired name.
Securing Your Online Presence
It is crucial to have a website and email address that reflects your brand. With so many businesses online, finding an available domain name can be tricky. Consider adding your city name or keywords like “tanning,” “bronze,” or “glow” after your brand name to find an available option. Namecheap is a helpful tool for checking domain availability.
List of Name Ideas

Unique Names
Do you plan to open a tanning salon in an area with much competition? Are you an up-and-coming salon trying to make a name for yourself and want to let your clients know that you do things differently?

Funny Names
Do you want people to know that your salon has a laid-back vibe? Choosing a funny name can help set you apart from other salons that may be perceived as pompous and higher-end.
A name that makes people smile is a great way to show that your salon is approachable. However, a unique, creative, or especially classy name may not be a good idea if you don’t wish to come across as snobby and off-putting. If you want to appeal to the everyday person, then going with something funny is a good idea.
