Care delivered to a person, animal or plant — clinical, cosmetic or horticultural.
“Medical services; veterinary services; hygienic and beauty care for human beings or animals; agriculture, aquaculture, horticulture and forestry services.”
Official class heading, Nice Agreement, Eleventh Edition. Published by the USPTO.
Typical goods and services in class 44

- Counselling and therapy services
- Salons, spas, barbers and nail bars
- Aesthetic and cosmetic treatments
- Veterinary services and pet grooming

Example of pre-approved USPTO wording for this class: Beauty salon services. Using the USPTO’s own ID Manual language keeps your filing fee at the base rate — describing your goods in your own words carries a surcharge of $200 per class.

Work out how many classes you need Check if the name is taken
This page describes how the USPTO groups goods and services in general. It is not legal advice about your application, and the lists above are written for the common case rather than being exhaustive. Which classes you actually need depends on what you sell, and a licensed attorney confirms them before anything is filed.
Classes either side of this one
Class 42 — SaaS, IT and design services
Technology delivered as a service. If customers log into your product rather than downloading it, you are in class 42 — and quite possibly in class 9 as well.
Class 43 — Restaurants, cafés and accommodation
Serving food and drink to people, and putting them up for the night. The class for every restaurant, café, bar, food truck and hotel.
Class 45 — Legal, security and personal services
The last class, and a mixed one: law, physical security, and personal services that do not fit anywhere else.
