The .hair Domain: An Address for Salons and Hair Care
.hair was recorded in the root zone on 16 September 2016; its ICANN registry agreement is dated 3 December 2015 and names XYZ.COM LLC as the contracting party. That makes it the latest arrival among the endings around it. The nTLDstats page accessed on 12 August 2026 shows 85,141 registrations, of which 57,697 appear in the zone file.
The ending reads directly for salons, barbers, hair care brands, wig and transplant services, and creators publishing in this field. The registry's published policies carry no eligibility condition. Try candidates through a .hair domain search, and see a neighbour from the same registry on the .guitars page.

.hair Domain Lifecycle
What happens day by day after it expires
Day 0 is the domain's expiry dateIn short: your .hair domain is put on Client Hold on its expiry date, so the site and e-mail stop that same day. You can still renew during the first 20 days, but from this point a late renewal fee is added on top of the renewal price. On day 20 the registration is deleted and until day 50 only a paid restore brings it back. Nothing at all can be done in the 5 days that follow, and on day 55 the name is open to anyone. There is exactly one way never to enter this chain: keep auto-renewal on.
Domain Is Available (Available)
A .hair address at this stage has not been taken yet, and it goes to whoever registers first. Check the name you have in mind — if it is free, it can be yours within minutes.
Domain Is Active (Active Period)
Once registration is complete, the domain is registered to you for the term you selected. You can renew at any point before it expires to keep it active, or switch on auto-renewal so you never have to watch the date.
Renewal Window (Client Hold)
On its expiry date your .hair domain is put on Client Hold: the site and e-mail go down that day, but the registration is still yours. A single renewal within these first 20 days brings everything back exactly as it was — nothing is lost. The only difference is that a late renewal fee is now added to the renewal price; renewing before the expiry date avoids that fee entirely.
Redemption Period (Redemption / RGP)
On day 20 the registration is deleted and the 30-day redemption period that ICANN requires of every gTLD registry begins. The name is not released to anyone during this time; only you can take it back, by paying the restore fee, until day 50. That fee is far higher than a renewal — renewing on time is always the cheaper route.
Pending Delete (Pending Delete)
Once the redemption window closes too, the domain enters its final 5 days and there is no way back. Neither renewal nor restore works here; nobody — your registrar included — can return the name to you. The registry uses this window as the last hold before the name goes back into the pool.
Open to Anyone Again (Released)
On day 55 the name .hair returns to the pool and anyone can register it. Sought-after names are often gone within seconds, and there is no guaranteed way to get one back. Yet staying out of this timeline is entirely in your hands: leave auto-renewal on and the expiry date will never catch you off guard.
The timeline above is the schedule Atak Domain applies and publishes. The ICANN chart you will find elsewhere shows a renewal window of up to 45 days after expiry; ICANN's policy on expired registrations (section 2.2.1) lets registrars delete an expired domain at any time, provided they disclose their policy in advance. We apply that window as 20 days and publish it here in plain sight. Full text of the policy: ICANN Expired Registration Recovery Policy

Frequently Asked Questions About .hair Domains
The questions people actually ask before registering — answered plainly.
-
Booking, opening hours and location come first; the service list follows underneath.
Most visitors in this trade arrive on a phone with one question in mind: is there a slot today. Keeping the booking link above everything else does more work than a long introduction. Team photographs and portfolio images can sit further down the page.
-
Social accounts bring reach, the domain brings permanence; neither replaces the other.
Accounts get closed, rules change and follower lists cannot be moved. Keep booking, price list and contact details on your own address while the social profile does the promotion. Point the single link in that profile here, so the traffic it earns collects on a page you control.
-
Of 85,141 registrations, 57,697 appear in the zone file — about 68%.
One name in three has never gone live. Because the zone is large, single-word roots will look taken, but combinations with a city or a neighbourhood remain findable. To sift local variants quickly, use the bulk domain name search.
-
Ingredients, directions for use and warnings need to be readable text, not baked into an image.
When allergy and sensitivity warnings exist only inside a picture, both visitors and screen readers miss them. Say plainly which hair type a product suits, and gather return conditions onto a page of their own — in cosmetics, most incoming questions cluster around exactly those two subjects.
-
Yes. It runs on an authorisation code and the registry asks for no extra documents.
If your booking system depends on the domain, schedule the move for the quietest day of the week: even a short interruption puts a fully booked Saturday at risk. List which records your booking provider relies on beforehand, then start from the domain transfer page.
