Here’s a quick checklist you can run your ideas through to help shorten your list of name:
- Is the name simple and easy to remember?
- Is the name easy to read and say aloud?
- Is the name different from competitors?
- Does the name convey a relevant meaning?
- Does the name avoid overused words or cliches?

#3) Get some feedback
You’ll now have a list of 3-6 great waxing business names and you can start to ask potential customers or people working in the industry for feedback (your target audience). Avoid feedback from family and friends, are more likely to praise all your ideas and they aren’t your customer.
Be sure to ask questions like:
- What first comes to mind when you first hear the name?
- How would you spell it?
With you’re customer feedback you can now ask yourself is the name still relevant? and did it represent your business how you intended?
My customer feedback:
Elite Wax
This name conveys that you are dealing with a high-end or professional waxing business.
Waxology
This name is short, catchy memorable and brandable
The Waxperts
This name conveys that you are dealing with reliable wax experts
Smooth Secrets
This name conveys privacy and professionalism.
#4) Check It’s available
At this point, it’s good to have at least three great waxing business names on your list, in case any of your names are already taken. You can do a quick Business Name Search online to find out if you’re name is available within your country/state, also be sure to search if the name is also available for Trademark and Domain name Registration.
Competitor Name Analysis
To help you brainstorm potential business names, let’s take a look at three successful waxing businesses and break down why and how they’ve chosen to name their business and why it works for them.
The Male Waxing Company is very specific about its target audience. This makes it easier for people looking for waxing services to understand what they should expect.
Brazilian Waxing Company specifically states where it is located. This is very useful for customers looking for businesses near them or in their country.
Wax Digital – This name conveys that the business uses the latest technologies and, therefore, is more likely to attract customers looking for advanced waxing services.
5 Tips for naming your waxing business
The ideal business name should be simple, memorable, and convey a meaning all at the same time. Here are my 5 tips to keep in mind when developing your business names.
1. Do a Competitor Analysis
Doing a competitor analysis as your first step will save you a lot of time in the future, knowing what names to avoid and understanding why and how your competitor’s business name words for them will help you in forming your own business names. When analyzing competitors think about:
- What business or product values are they conveying in their business name? How does that work for them?
- Is there a trend in how these businesses are naming themselves? It’s best to avoid sounding like “just another one of those businesses”.
- Who does it best? Why does it work and how can I produce a better name?
2. Focus on Naming your Business not Describing it.
A typical pitfall most businesses run into is describing their business name too literally, using overused terms. A more effective business name should convey to customers your businesses and product values at a deeper level. Try to name your business in a way that has a story behind it.
Let’s take for example a waxing business named “Not Your Momma’s Wax Salon “.
Literally, the name conveys that the Salon does not belong to your mother. But on a deeper level, it indicates that the Salon is not an ordinary one and you can expect professional services.
3. How to make a more memorable name
Creating a memorable business name is the first step in getting into a customer’s mind and is also a task that’s easier said than done. Your business name should aim to stop a customer in their tracks and give extra thought to your product among your wave of competitors. Some tips to create a memorable name would be:
- Use rhythmic pronunciation or alliteration (Wax Works, Wax Wolves)
- Try using a word that wouldn’t be relevant when out of context.
- Keep it short and simple.
4. Try purchasing a Brandable business name
Brandable business names are names that are non-sensical but read and are pronounced well. They often use letter patterns of Vowel/Consonant/Vowel as these word structures are typically short, catchy, and easy to say and remember. For example, some brandable waxing business names could be:
- Nuvane Smoothness
- Alomos Waxing
- Nurilo Wax Works
You can find a full list of Brandable business names at Domainify.com
5. Avoid combining words just to create a unique name.
Another mistake business owners typically make is creating bad word combinations when they find out that their business name idea is already taken. For example, John names his business Carolina Waxing and finds out it’s already taken. Because he’s already decided this is what he’ll name his business he tries to opt for similar-sounding names like CaroloWaxing, Caroloax, or CarolinnWaxo.
You can see how these ideas are a step backward as they are not catchy, easily pronounceable, or memorable. In these situations, we suggest starting from scratch and trying the tips we mentioned previously.
