NIX EXTENSION Is Now a Registered US Trademark

Hair Pro Shop can now confirm that NIX EXTENSION is a federally registered trademark in the United States. The mark was entered on the Principal Register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office under Registration No. 8,308,152 on June 16, 2026, following an application filed on May 29, 2025 under Serial No. 99-208,194. The registration is held by Andrii Chernyshuk, founder and owner of Hair Pro Shop, and covers International Class 3 for hair piece bonding glue.

For stylists and salon owners who work with cold bonding systems, this is more than an administrative detail. It defines what NIX EXTENSION is, who stands behind it, and what you are actually buying when the name appears on a tube.

What the registration covers

The registration is specific. It protects the NIX EXTENSION name in Class 3 for hair piece bonding glue, which is precisely the product category the brand was built for. The mark is registered in standard characters, meaning protection is not limited to one particular font, size, or colour. Whether the name appears on packaging, on a label, in a catalogue, or in an online listing, the registered rights follow it.

As is standard practice for descriptive components, no exclusive claim is made to the word "EXTENSION" on its own, apart from the mark as shown. The protected asset is the full mark, NIX EXTENSION, as a single identifier of origin.

Why registration on the Principal Register matters

The Principal Register is the primary federal trademark register in the United States, and placement on it carries substantive legal weight. It provides a legal presumption of the owner's exclusive right to use the mark nationwide in connection with the listed goods. It establishes constructive notice, meaning others are treated as being on notice of the claim regardless of whether they have actually seen it. It also opens the door to federal court enforcement and to recording the mark with customs authorities against counterfeit imports.

In practical terms, a registered mark is what makes it possible to act against copies. Bonding glue is a category where imitation packaging appears quickly, and where a professional cannot always tell from a photograph whether a product is genuine. Federal registration turns the brand name from a label into an enforceable right.

What this means for stylists

The point of a protected name is traceability. When you buy NIX EXTENSION gel through Hair Pro Shop, you are buying from the registrant of the mark, not from an intermediary who has repackaged an unnamed formula. The formulation, the batch, the safety documentation, and the support behind the product all come from the same source.

That matters more in cold bonding than in most product categories. An ice extension gel has to cure predictably at room temperature, hold under washing and brushing, and release cleanly with the correct remover. Small changes in formulation produce very different behaviour on the head, and a client sitting in the chair is not the right place to discover that a tube has been substituted. A registered mark gives you a fixed reference point.

How to verify a genuine product

Check that the name appears as NIX EXTENSION in full on the packaging. Buy through Hair Pro Shop or through our official listings rather than through unnamed resellers. Where documentation matters for your workplace, request the safety data sheet, which we supply for the gel and activator components of the kit. If packaging looks close but not quite right, or if a listing uses the name without any connection to us, it is worth asking before you use the product on a client.

The wider brand picture

The United States registration sits alongside our existing European trademark protection, giving the brand coverage across the two markets where professional extension work is most concentrated. First use of the mark in commerce is recorded as January 1, 2026, which anchors the commercial history of the brand in the registration itself.

For a small manufacturer, a federal trademark is a commitment rather than a trophy. It means the name stays attached to a specific standard, and that the standard is defensible. Stylists who build their reputation on the durability of their installs need suppliers who can be held to what they put on the label. That is the point of registering the mark, and the reason we did it.

NIX EXTENSION gel and the full ice extension range are available through Hair Pro Shop. If you have questions about the registration, product authenticity, or documentation for your salon, contact us directly.
