How to Get the Best-Looking Business Cards for Your Salon

There are so many great salon, spa and hairstylist business card designs available, but how do you make those designs properly reflect your business spirit and style? There are many options to personalize your cards, and you're only limited by your imagination.

The first thing to consider when designing your salon or barber shop business card is the image you want to portray to your audience. Here's an example- let's say you own a barber shop, and you'd like to come across as sporty and masculine. You might choose a template that is non- girly and not too colorful. Then you'd look through the available fonts and choose the most appropriate one.

For instance, the barber shop business card template below is very plain in it's design. It features some thinning shears- but what really makes this a masculine looking business card is the choice of font. The font used is called "bullpen 3d" and is done in a coordinating dark blue, bold with drop shadow. The font looks like it could belong on a baseball field.



Alternatively, if you run a unisex hair styling salon, you might choose a design that will be attractive to both your male and female clients. The following card is a perfect example of such. The brown and black color scheme is sophisticated, but not too feminine. The hair stylist's chair in the foreground is pretty universal and looks comfy. The Arial font used is plain but the colors make it "pop".



But let's say your salon is a more family oriented place where moms, dads, and kids can come in for a relaxed atmosphere. This green template has a little monster who needs a haircut. The font used is called "Comic Sans" and looks very playful. The font is bold and shadowed, and red was chosen to make it stand out from the cooler colors of the palette.



Now if your main clientele is teenage girls coming in for prom updos and trendy highlights, you can really make use of fonts and colors. This business card template is so cute. The font used is called "Fashion Victim" with drop shadow and coordinating aqua. The phone number is rotated to give a quirky, youthful effect.
