Its a peace sign hand, the two-finger gesture, but instead of plain fingers theres a scissors graphic worked into it or the whole hand is styled to suggest a hair stylist at work. Single colour, so the whole thing reads as a clean bold silhouette. The line weight is confident, not scratchy, and the density sits at 260 which gives the satin sections a flat, graphic-poster kind of finish. Kinda like a logo print more than a decorative fill.
Five sizes, 4.01 to 8.01 inches wide, stitch counts from 5,902 to 11,702. All single-colour so you can swap thread to anything, black on a white apron is the obvious one but this looks really strong in white on black or in a bright coloured thread on a canvas tote. Back this with a medium cutaway stabiliser on apron cotton or jersey. The density at 260 is on the lighter end so you dont need a heavy stabiliser, a medium soft cutaway keeps the silhouette sharp without making the garment stiff. For knit fabric, still use a cutaway, dont go tear-away on a jersey tee or the edges will pull.
One customer ordered this last spring for her salon uniform tees, she did a run in black thread on heather grey and said every single one came out sharp with no blowout on the scissor detail. The 5 or 6 inch sizes work best for a chest placement on a tee. Stitch on a hooped salon apron, a cotton tote, a baseball cap or a canvas zip pouch. Use a water-soluble topping if youre working on towelling or any looped fabric surface.
Dm me if you want a thread colour recommendation for a specific fabric, Im happy to suggest combinations for salon colour palettes, theyve worked out well for a few customers already.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
