What trade mark class is a beauty salon?
In the UK, a beauty salon usually goes in class 44. Below: the class, example terms from the 2026 Nice list, the mistakes that cause objections, and when a second class is worth it.
Class 44
Beauty, hair and spa treatments are class 44. Class heading: Medical services; veterinary services; hygienic and beauty care for human beings or animals.
Example terms (Nice list, 2026):
- beauty salon services
- manicuring
- hairdressing
- massage
- aesthetician services
- health spa services
When we file, every term is picked from UKIPO's pre-approved list, so the wording itself does not draw an objection. Your mark is protected only for the terms you list.
Common mistakes
- Filing class 3 for the salon. Class 3 is for products you sell under the name.
- Naming the salon with a common phrase such as “Beauty Bar” alone.
When a second class makes sense
Add class 3 if you sell your own branded skincare or nail products.
UKIPO charges £205 online for the first class and £60 for each extra class.
Price with us: £374 all-in for one class (our fee £169 + the £205 UKIPO fee). Extra classes: £135 each (our £75 + UKIPO's £60), up to 3 classes; for 4 or more we quote. You pay first; if our check says High risk and you decide to stop, we refund everything except £39.
Can you register your name?
Send us the name and what you sell. We look at the UK register for identical and similar marks and email you the result, usually within 1 working day. Free, no obligation.
Which class is a beauty salon in?
Usually class 44. The exact class depends on the goods or services you list.
Can I add a class later?
No. Once an application is submitted you cannot add goods, services or classes. A new class means a new application and a new fee.
How much does it cost?
UKIPO charges £205 online for one class and £60 for each extra class. With Markherald it is £374 all-in for one class.
