As if it were from the 70s or 80s, the image of hairdressers and barbershops resonates strongly. It is also true that the meaning it has had in Spain has always been more work-related, unlike countries like the United States, Turkey or England. But now, with social media and the great importance of the image either at a business or personal level, it begins to make sense to create the most original hairdressing logos to attract attention among so much competition.
In addition to working on the image of the premises and creating conversation spaces as a cafeteria, the image that is shown before entering is key. We say cafeteria because many of them include a coffee machine, video consoles and other spaces while you wait your turn. In this article we are going to discover some of them.
Rome Barber
An innovative project for a renowned barbershop in Sao Paulo (Brazil). Playing with the author's last name and the history of Rome. Composed of the head of a soldier and the open scissors of a hairdresser. The letters with the name of the hairdresser surround the isotype. The characteristics of this logo are placed on worn backgrounds, as if it were a war going to the hairdresser and some tones that play with red, black and off-white.
Hair Hood BarberShop
He defines himself as an "old school" barbershop. The style that defines his work is under an elegant suit from another era. Hats, ties and old-fashioned style when you walk into this Timisoara barbershop in Romania. In fact, on his YouTube account, which has almost a million subscribers, he lets see a Peaky Blinders style. The lopotype composed of a western typeface and an isotype of a wild boar in a suit.
nomad barber
The nomadic barber is a young youtuber who, after opening his first store, decided to open his instagram account to experience the different cutting styles in the world. He was one of the first to make these types of videos and include ASMR on his channel, which made him one of the strongest at the beginning.
Its logo is very simple since it is the name NOMAD BARBER In uppercase. The only thing that is different is that he has edited the typography creating deeper lines in some letters. In this way, it identifies your brand a little more. It is true that, when we see its name, it does not need more to accompany the brand. Your channel is seen by many people and your brand, just like big fashion brands, needs no further introduction.
Bar Bearia from Brazil
This barbershop is located in Brazil and is called Bar Bearia. Alluding to a barbershop but also to the bar. The renovation they carried out is different. A modern touch, with bright colors and iconography in the purest flat style. We can also see how in his own barbershop he has those yellow touches on the chairs and decorative elements create harmony with the image. The logo's mustache is formed by the trace left by the foam of two beers that are located right at the bottom. Yellow also represents the color of the beer.
Brush Hours
This logo is focused for a female hairdresser. If we see, in this case it is made up of a typography with a lot of mobility. This allusion can be interpreted by the malleability of the long hair of the female audience. Each letter is stretched and the corners rounded, unlike the hair salons we have seen before.
The colors are red with similar backgrounds in different shades such as a light purple. The logo has two forms, one simplified with the initials BH and the other complete with a slogan that reads 'Your time starts now' (Your time starts now).
MOW or vice versa
This logo is eye-catching because it gives a feeling of curling with a hairdresser's styler. In fact, the name can go around and still mean the same thing. The corners of each letter are distorted giving the appearance of becoming circular. Giving a sensation of that circular movement that is worked in the hairdresser's to make some curls and give volume to the hair.
As we said before, the colors for a female hairdresser are kinder. In this case, a pastel blue and similar shades with a pink in two tones that accompany the brand.
Elsa Teixeira
Another case is the personal names of the hairdresser or hairdresser in question. When it comes to someone with years of experience who has a high recognition, with his own name every possible client will identify him quickly. There is no need to create a separate brand. In this case, Elsa has decided to give it a golden touch, evoking exclusivity on a cream background with a rough pattern.
Conclusion
As we can see, the hairdresser logos for men have a similar dynamic.. To be correctly identified, they all use common items from a hair salon. Whether these are scissors, a classic razor, a beard brush or the most common of all, the light roller with the colors of the French flag, where this element originally emerged. Within all of them, some differ visually, but place the words 'hairdresser' or 'barbershop' as the last name to the original name.
In the case of female hairdressing logos, there is a clear difference with respect to the male one.. The letters that are used have a less aggressive definition with rounded corners. In addition, in the case of these hairdressers, aesthetic services are also added, so the words that usually accompany them are 'beauty' and 'Hair'. They also clearly eliminate barbershop elements such as a razor, something that is not usually used in this type of hairdresser.
As we have seen in other articles Regarding logos, the identifying elements tend to be more subtle. The colors and their tonality, the typeface used and the shapes are what identify the type of business, in this case, hairdressers tend to be somewhat more explicit.
