Grow Your Hair Stylist Business with the Right Cards
Are Business Cards Still Relevant in 2018?
First things first, are they? Yes! Nowadays we tend to think of business cards as an obsolete way to share information, but the reality is that even though smartphones have become almost a part of us, they still run out of battery, can get lost, or are not always around. That’s why business cards are still a great way to give out your information.
Hair salon business cards are a great way for people to get to know you, they’re also a quick and practical way to share information with possible clients and for current ones to share your info with others. There are many occasions when giving out a business card makes all the sense in the world, think of situations where people don’t have a lot of time to write information down.
Also, a creative business card that stands out from the rest (think nice design, card weight, and paper feel) is shared more often which is a great way to get to more and more customers.
What Should a Hair Stylist Business Card Have?
Making a hairstylist business card or a barber business card that gets people in the door and in your chair is key to growing your business. Nowadays, in the era of social media, many people underestimate the importance of having a business card handy to give away.
There are five important aspects that your hairstylist business card, as well as a barber business card, should have for maximum effectiveness:
- An icon that represents the heart of your brand. In this example, Victoria Sato is Japanese but lives in Los Angeles. She decided to incorporate the cherry blossom flower in her business card.
- Your brand name (or your name) in a legible and clear font.
- Your businesses’ expertise area. In the card below, Victoria Sato is a color specialist.
- Relevant business information like a phone number, an address, and a business email. Ensure you utilize an online salon scheduling software to easily book appointments for anyone reaching out via the contact details on your business card.
- Tie it all together with harmonious brand colors. In this example, we used blush and gold which convey elegance and playfulness.
