Hair Stylist Silhouette Embroidery Design, Instant Download

A solid black side silhouette of a woman, and woven into the hair youll find the salon gear - scissors, comb, curling iron, all stitched in bright yellow so they pop against the dense black fill. Thats the whole concept and it reads immediately. You dont need to look at it twice to know this is a hairdresser design.

The stitch density is high on this one - up to 34,000 stitches at the 7-inch size - so the black fill comes out very solid and the yellow tool details stay sharp even after washing. I use a dense satin fill for the hair section intentionally, anything lighter and those yellow shapes start to blend in at smaller sizes. Use proper cut-away stabiliser underneath, not tear-away. The pull from that stitch density is too much for tear-away on anything with stretch. On woven canvas or denim a medium cut-away works fine.

Two colors makes the thread process fast. Black goes in first for the main silhouette, one color change, then the bright yellow thread for the tools tucked into the curls. A customer who owns a salon had these stitched onto her staff aprons last autumn - she told me the contrast reads really clearly from across the reception area and shes had clients ask about it. Great branded workwear look without being complicated to produce. Stitch it centered on the chest at the 5-inch size for best placement on a standard apron bib.

Four sizes in the download, smallest at 4 inches. Hoop well, use cut-away, and stitch at normal speed. Dm me with any stabiliser questions before you start.
