Pedicure Business Cards

As an esthetician, you know that these days your customers are just as concerned over the appearance of their feet as their hands. Today's strappy sandals and fancy flip flops really demand a level of foot maintenance that was not necessary in the past.

If you own a salon, you can't afford to miss out on this important aspect of the market- make sure at least one of your staff gives great "mani-pedis". If you are freelance, then you really need to have this skill on your resume. Either way, you're going to need to advertise these services, so here's a few very attractive business cards that are really worth considering.

Wow- this is a gorgeous manicure / pedicure salon business card. The lime field and bamboo mat give it a tropical flair. The torn edge effect is very unique. Your customers are sure to keep this one around.



Now you know how much time and money women spend to keep their heels smooth. This business card design makes the most of that concern with a beautiful laquered manicure and flawless heel.



This next design features the ultra-feminine lavender and pink color combo that all the girly-girls love. It also has a manicure / pedicure theme that makes it very desirable and likely for your customers to keep. It also features the same bamboo mat shown in the first sample.



Well there it is- 3 smashing designs that will give you an advantage in the competitive and relatively new field of pedicures.

Hip and Groovy Retro Salon Business Cards

Oh, behave! Add some retro, colorful funkiness to your salon advertising campaign. We found some of the grooviest looking hair stylist business cards out there. Take a look at these...

Talk about an eye-catcher.... the magenta and purple color scheme, along with the blob-tacular background graphic is straight out of a lava-lamp.



Like, Ohmigosh! This hair stylist business card template has 80's flair and looks like it could have been designed by Lisa Frank. Perfect for the most girly-girl salons.



Are you a Pink Lady? Then this 50's-inspired, pink salon chair will be just the ticket... especially if you cater to those super hip rockabilly cats and kittens.



The earthy 70's spring to mind with this very free form and artistic business card. Looks sketched yet professional. We all know how the 70's BoHo fashion sense has influenced the runways this season. This business card certainly has that "bohemian" flavor.



Retro is one of the hottest trends of the past 5 years, so if you have that kind of style, let your business cards reflect your trendy anachronism.

Because Sometimes, Less Is More

Okay, so you're a stylist or barber but you're not a fan of artsy-fartsy business cards, and that's.... okay. Some folks are all about simplicity and sometimes minimalism. They like their sales literature to be straight forward and to the point. Luckily, there's quite a few great salon and barber business card designs out there, just waiting for you to add your short and sweet info to.

Let's look at these business cards and see how they really appeal to those who prefer a more "spacious" look.

This design says it all: You cut hair! It's an easily customized, unisex hair stylist business card with lots of space.



Still not sparse enough for ya? Well then how about some classic black and white designs? You can never go wrong with a simple image. Since you can edit this card to your liking, you can change the Header to a color or font that really pops. This design has an Art Deco touch- remember, just because they're black and white cards, doesn't necessarily mean they have to look cheap.



Hmm... still not quite what you had in mind- you want simple, not spartan. So perhaps a hair stylist/barber business card design that is warm as well as clean. This next design features a shiny clean pair of barbering / hair styling shears on a nice, textured background of warm color. It's up to you what kind and color fonts you use, and how much empty space to leave or fill.



So there ya have it- simple and spacious salon and hair stylist business cards with lots of appeal.

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.
