An identity for a hair salon, kept deliberately quiet: a flared serif wordmark in silver grey, a small, widely spaced line of sans for HAIR SALON, and a great deal of white. The same lockup carries the business card and the salon’s service menu.

01The wordmark

One letter carries
the whole idea.

The wordmark is set in Cannu, a flared serif. Its A is crossed by a hairline that leaves the left stroke in one curve, like a strand lifted on a comb. Everything else is restrained: even capitals, open spacing, a single grey. HAIR SALON sits centred beneath it in Avenir, a fraction of the size.

02Business card

The front for the name,
the back for the person.

A vertical card, 2 × 3.5 in. The front carries only the wordmark at its centre and HAIR SALON at the foot. The reverse moves the mark to the top corner and gives the lower half to a stylist’s name, title and contact lines, closed by a small black tab with the salon’s name and a social icon.

03Service menu

Thirteen services,
one quiet list.

The salon’s services set as one list beneath the wordmark — cuts, colour, texture and styling — at a single size, with the hierarchy left to spacing and hairlines rather than weight. The wording is the salon’s own.

Wordmark and lockup · Colour palette · Business card · Service menu

Artistry’s identity files (2023) sit in the studio’s designer archive; no commission record is kept there, and whether the salon adopted them is not confirmed. The wordmark is redrawn as vector from the archived artwork (set in Cannu); the HAIR SALON line is re-set in Avenir as in the original; the service menu is re-set in this site’s typeface with the original wording. The card was a template, so its name and contact lines are shown as rules. The original presentation boards used stock photographs of people and stock mockups (storefront, glass sign, jar, frame); they are not shown.
