All Manner of Hair

Overview

All Manner of Hair

All Manner of Hair is a hairstyling brand serving clients across a wide range of hair types, lengths, and textures, with particular expertise in African American hair care. The identity needed to reflect the stylist's specialization and cultural connection while making it clear that every client and every kind of hair is welcome.

Challenge

The core audience is primarily African American women, so the brand needed to authentically celebrate Black hair without making the business feel exclusive. It also needed a memorable visual system that could move easily from business cards and salon signage to apparel and client-facing materials.

Solution

I developed an illustrated female profile inspired by cosmetology mannequin heads and crowned it with an afro—a symbol of pride, freedom, and appreciation for natural Black hairstyles. Rather than using a literal rainbow to communicate variety, I built a warm palette of orange, yellow, red, and green that feels energetic, welcoming, and distinctive. Curved, textured typography echoes the movement of hair and complements the central mark, creating a cohesive identity across print, apparel, and the salon environment.
