Business Cards to Represent Combination Salons and Spas

If you haven't expanded your beauty shop or hair salon to include other types of services, you might just be missing out on serving a whole new customer base.

Next time you're taking a spin through town, carefully note the services being offered in the trendiest looking salons. Waxing, sugaring, and nail care have recently become a part of many upscale salons. Other types of "spa quality" services are often available as well - massage, body wraps, aromatherapy- all these are profitable extensions of your already excellent hair salon.

If you are venturing into new salon / spa territory, you're going to need some exiting advertising to help you get the word out. Besides flyers, signs, and promotional deals, salon and spa business cards are a great start! Here are a few really good choices we found that cover just about all aspects:

Check this out. This is a bi-tonal salon business card with a very popular color scheme: black and white photography with hot pink highlights. This design is very general, yet specific enough to fit a salon business that offers spa-type services other than hair styling. It can fit cosmetology, massage, just about anything.

















Or how about this one:

Another black and white business card design, this features a nice green curvy detail. As the model on the card has her hair wrapped up in a towel and looks very relaxed in her spa / salon atmosphere. This one can easily represent a business that offers massages and body wraps as well as hair care.

Finally, have a look at the next one. It's rather esoteric, but when you're offering a myriad of spa or salon services, it's just perfect. There is a lot of room for you to make a list of all those great services you provide, on a relaxing background. The still water looks very restful and the water lotus is an ancient symbol of beauty- they make for a stunning background on the black field:

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.
