All the tools are here, fanned out in a full semicircle like someone emptied a whole styling station onto the table. Two pairs of scissors cross near the top, a cushion brush and paddle brush sit on either side of the midpoint, and a half-dozen combs spread out on both sides. Theres a pair of clippers in there too, tucked in between the combs on the right. Every piece radiates from a single point at the base, the whole set arranged like a proper tool display.
The shading on each individual tool is what makes it, honestly. Every comb has its teeth rendered in fine lines, the scissor blades have that polished highlight running lengthways, and the brush bristles are all individually stitched. Its a proper illustration style, not a clipart cutout. Black thread does all the heavy lifting, and white fills carved into the black hairstyling shapes give each piece its roundness and shine.
Stitch count runs from about 8,700 on the 5-inch up to 15,000 on the 8-inch, so its a manageable project at any size. Back your fabric with a firm woven stabiliser, hoop snug, and run a test swatch on scrap cotton first since theres a lot of detail packed into a small area. The white-highlight stops are essential, so dont skip colour change 2 or the tools will go flat.
Works best on dark and mid-tone fabrics where the black satin pops cleanest. Last month a customer who does personalised salon aprons told me navy works brilliantly, the black tools read sharp and the whole layout looks like a proper trade badge rather than a novelty print.
Stitch onto salon aprons, barber capes, tote bags for kit, or workshop uniforms. The landscape format fits a chest pocket spot, left breast, or a centred position on a back panel without any cropping. Reach out if the test run shows any gapping between tool shapes and ill resend a corrected file same day.

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.
