The word reads the same way in Hindi-speaking and English-speaking India — the neighbourhood salon — so the ending is understood instantly on a visiting card or an Instagram bio.
Which Indian beauty businesses use a .salon name?
.salon suits unisex and family salons, bridal makeup artists, barbershops, nail and lash studios, and small salon chains that want one short brand address. Most of their customers arrive from Instagram, WhatsApp and Google Maps, and the address is printed in all three.
Bridal makeup studio
Portfolio, packages and trial bookings for the wedding season, such as bridalbyneha.salon.
Barbershop
Walk-in hours, grooming packages and memberships, such as sharpfade.salon.
Nail and lash studio
Design galleries and appointment slots, such as nailbar.salon.
Salon chain
One domain with a page per branch, such as citystyle.salon/indore.
How much does a .salon domain cost in India?
WebJi® lists .salon at ₹9,471 for the first year and ₹11,374 a year to renew, before 18% GST, as read from billing on 4 November 2026 — one of the dearer themed endings. Most owners register a single brand name rather than several.
| Extension | Year one (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Fits | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .salon | ₹9,471 | ₹11,374 | Hair, beauty and grooming salons | Register → |
| .style | ₹4,562 | ₹4,846 | Stylists, image consultants | Register → |
| .boutique | ₹2,722 | ₹3,289 | Fashion and accessory shops | Register → |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | Any Indian salon, lowest cost | Register → |
For budgeting, year one plus two renewals at these listed rates is ₹32,219 before tax. That is an estimate rather than a prepaid quote; checkout prices multi-year orders. WebJi® lists a .salon transfer-in at ₹9,471.
What should a .salon website include?
A salon site should answer the three questions customers ask on WhatsApp — what you offer, what it costs and when you are free — before they have to message. That saves front-desk time and fills empty slots.
- Service menu with prices: state clearly whether prices include GST.
- Booking: a calendar or WhatsApp booking button with your working hours.
- Portfolio: before-and-after photos, published only with client consent.
- Branches: one page per branch matching its Google Business Profile; see the Business Profile guide.
- Reviews: link to Google reviews rather than copying them onto the site.
A simple builder site works for most salons; see AI website builder or salon website design for layouts.
Do you need a beauty licence to register .salon?
No — .salon has no trade-licence, certification or presence test; any salon owner, stylist, spa or individual can register an available name with accurate contacts. Use must follow the registry’s acceptable-use policy.
Avoid labels built on a cosmetics brand or a franchise you do not own, which can draw a UDRP complaint. If you choose .in for cost, a short .salon name can still point to it for cards and signage; renewals and transfers are on the domain registration hub.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who runs the .salon registry?
Binky Moon, LLC is the registry manager in the IANA root zone database, operating through Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. .salon was first delegated to Outer Orchard, LLC in December 2015 and moved to Binky Moon in the 2018 transfer.
Is .salon worth ₹11,374 a year for a single neighbourhood salon?
Only if the name will appear widely on signage, packaging or ads. Neighbourhood customers mostly find salons through Google Maps and Instagram, so a .in name at ₹1,000 a year plus a well-kept Business Profile often brings the same bookings.
Can an art or literary salon use the .salon extension?
Yes. The extension has no use restriction, and the older meaning of salon — a gathering for conversation, music or art — fits names such as poetry.salon for a reading series or cultural evening.
What does .salon cost for three years?
At the listed rates, ₹9,471 for year one plus two renewals at ₹11,374 is ₹32,219 before GST. That is a planning estimate; checkout prices any prepaid multi-year term.
Is the .salon zone signed with DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA publishes a DS record for .salon. Enable DNSSEC on your name at your DNS host if customers pay deposits or log in to manage bookings on your site.
