Studio One Hair Salon wanted 509 Media to design and print new business cards for their salon located near Auburn, Alabama.  The design was left open to the graphic designers at 509 Media.  Action was taken to design and print a high quality business card for the hair salon.  The business cards are printed on high quality heavy 16 pt card stock and UV coated on the front side only to make them shine.  The UV coating was left off the rear of the card to allow for the hair stylist to write appointment times on the read side of the business card.  A hair stylist earns their money by building clientele for repeat business. Often times if a stylist leaves a salon the clients will follow their stylist because of the stylist client relationship.  With that said a hair stylist needs to consider their work as a little business within the larger business being the salon.  It is important for the stylist to establish a brand or name for themselves within their given market area.  The market area can be as large or small as people are willing to come see you for your hair styling abilities.

A well put together business card design can speak volumes about your hair salon business.  If you are standing in line at the grocery store and someone asks what you do for a living you should have a response to fire back at them in less than 10 seconds.  DO NOT have a long drawn out story of how you worked over there and now work over here.  You will bore people.  Get to the point and make an impact.  Have your business cards on you at all times to capitalize on every opportunity that comes your way.  You will never know when an opportunity will come to gain new business.  After you tell the potential client what you do make sure you are handing putting a business card  in their hand and ask them to drop by for a visit sometime.

I know a couple hair stylists who operate their own websites as a portfolio of their work.  On the business card you can place the website address to direct people back to your work.  Part of the goal is to make sure people recall what services you offer the next time they have a need.  Like 509 Media your website can be built to easily add information to the the website without the need to know a lot about computers.  509 Media will be happy to talk about setting up a portfolio website if you are interested.  509 Media can also show you different way you can promote your brand and the advertise your hair salon.
