Hand Lettering Design Ideas

Are you looking to get a professional looking logo design for your beauty salon? Whether you are opening a nail salon, a tanning salon or a general beauty therapy business you will need an appropriate logo to help you with your marketing efforts.

Beauty is an industry that is all about neatness, visual appeal and first impressions. Beauty logos should therefore be attractive, easy on the eye and representative of how you can positively change the lives of your clients.

In the following report we take a quick look at contemporary beauty logo design and offer ideas on how you can work with a designer to get a design that works well for your business.

Defining your Market

When you fill out a briefing form for your logo designer it will pay to give them as many details about your salon as possible. Let them know if you want to be associated with specific beauty treatments such as facials, manicures or aromatherapy or if you are involved in multiple areas.

You also need to make it clear as to what kind of clients you are targeting and the impression that you want to give them. Do you want to put forward an image that is sophisticated, exclusive, welcoming or professional? Write up a list of words that describe your business and your clientele so that your designer knows what kind of person your salon logo should appeal to.

Common Beauty Salon Logo Images

Every culture and era has their own symbols that represent beauty so it would pay to research this online to get ideas. You may find some ancient Greek or Chinese beauty symbols that look great and have not been used yet. There are also many things in the natural world that are symbols of beauty such as a flower or a butterfly. Better yet, why not think of your own symbol for beauty.

Images associated with female beauty such as the eyes, lips and hands are also commonly incorporated into logo designs for beauty and nail salons. Tanning salon logos are generally a little different and include imagery related to the tropic, the beach or the sun.

One great way to quickly check out a wide sample of logos for beauty salons, tanning salons or nail salons is to try a Google image search. Using a keyword like 'beauty logos' you can bring up a wide variety of industry examples.

Your designer should come up with something unique but it won't hurt to point out who your local competitors are. You can request that your design is to look very different from other salons in your area. Include some links on the briefing form so that your designer knows what your competitor's logos look like
