The Well Rounded (Corners) Salon Business Card

Did you know that, for a couple of extra bucks, you can add a smooth new dimension to your salon and hair stylist business cards? We're talking about rounded corners versus the old traditional square ones.

Obviously, squared corners are perfect for many business card designs, and we'll talk about that in a future post- but then there are others that would look absolutely smashing with rounded corners.

Why would anyone want to bother with getting business cards with rounded corners?

The main reason would be simple durability. When someone slips a square-cornered business card int or out of their purse or wallet, the corners tend to get bent, (because they are more narrow of course) making a dog eared effect that is less than attractive. Round cornered business cards are easily transferred without losing their crispness.

Another positive aspect about ordering your salon business cards with rounded corners is a significantly softer appearance. When your primary customer base is female and your primary business card design is very feminine, a rounded silhouette will be very complimentary. A variation on this idea is, instead of order a huge box of all the same cards, order 2 smaller boxes- one for the guys and one for the gals. Have the ladies cards rounded, and the gents cards with traditional square corners.

Finally, the obvious- so far, business cards with rounded corners are still rather unique and trendy. Show your potential clients that you're on top of the current style trends by having a salon business card that sets you apart from your competition.

Most online business card companies allow you to choose this option toward the end of the checkout process, along with your finish- matte, glossy, etc. Next time you order, consider stepping outside the norm and choose rounded corners.

Barber Shop Business Cards - An Old Classic

Barber shop business cards- a concept whose time has come. No longer is the classic barber pole, and relaxing with a shave and a haircut in your fave barbershop a thing of the past- it's making a big comeback, partly thanks to recently popular movies featuring the urban barbershop.

The barber shop has an interesting interesting history- in fact you might say the classic barber pole was like a business card for the barber of the middle ages, whose job at that time was not just hair cuts, but also leeching and bloodletting. Bloody bandages were hung to dry on a pole outside the barber shop. As the wind wrapped the blood-soaked strips around the pole, the classic barber pole was born.

Check out this unique barber shop business card. It's not only colorful and eye-catching, it also leaves no doubt as to the profession of it's owner- the old skool barber shop pole is featured prominently. This design is super versatile- just by changing the font type, you can give it old world charm, urban attitude, or down-home flavor. Be sure to click the image, so you can see it blown up.
