Hairstylist’s Business Card: Snips, Tricks and Coupons

The hairstylist or hairdresser, whether they work independently or contract with a salon, needs business cards that promote both their location and their skills.

The stylist’s business card should incorporate the colors of the salon they work for or own. Colors should be exciting but not garish and express a modern chic sort of style. The background design and color scheme should work together but using a hairdressing related theme such as scissors cutting hair or patterns that resembles locks of hairs work well.

A photograph of the stylist or the act of doing hair is always preferred to an actual picture of a specific haircut on a hairstylist’s business card. If you put just one style on your card you run the risk of alienating all the potential customers who don’t care for that style. You could also make people think you are only capable of a particular cut or style. Avoid highlighting your work in pictures on your card.

Choose a matte finish to your hairstylist business cards. Clients like to jot down appointment times, notes such as a stylists name or certain color or shampoo. A matte finish makes scribbling much easier. Business cards should be tailored to the potential client and easy to use.

Use the back of the card for writing appointment details or giving instructions on after color care. The reverse side of the hairstylist’s business card is also the perfect place for a frequent cut program or directions to the salon.

Distribute hairstylist’s business cards at hair expos, wedding expos and fashion shows. Leave a few at the local clothing boutiques and spas and carry a few on your person at all times. In the case of a stylist, your work is your best advertising so be sure to give your card to anyone who compliments one of your cuts.
