Role
Senior Design Lead
SalonBiz provides software for salons to manage bookings, clients, and payments. But their brand felt too corporate — and didn’t reflect their style-forward users. I led the rebrand, refreshing everything from the logo to internal tools to better match the creative energy of the industry.
🛑 Legacy visuals lacked personality
🛑 Didn’t resonate with a design-conscious audience
🛑 Brand inconsistent across print, digital, and swag
We built a fun, confident, and modern identity that salon pros could connect with — visually and emotionally.
↳ Refreshed logo and refined wordmark
↳ Color palette inspired by movement, beauty, and confidence
↳ Rounded, expressive typefaces for a more modern feel
↳ Created flexible brand assets for swag, UI, and social
Audience Discovery
↳ Talked with salon professionals and internal teams
↳ Identified key values: beauty, simplicity, reliability
Visual Development
↳ Built moodboards and visual styles rooted in fashion, self-care, and trust
↳ Iterated across shapes, colors, and logo direction
System Build-Out
↳ Assembled templates for internal teams
↳ Delivered brand guide and onboarding docs
Team adoption was immediate and enthusiastic
Visuals better reflect the personality of the product and user
Created consistent experience across all brand touchpoints
A brand refresh isn’t about trends — it’s about connection
Build a brand users want to see and use
Next: Apply brand to campaign launches, onboarding flows, and new product features.
This rebrand wasn’t about reinventing — it was about elevating. The new SalonBiz identity connects with salon pros while setting a tone for what’s next.
