I’m so excited to share my latest branding project: a peaceful, elevated identity for The Stone Lotus Salon — a brand-new hair salon coming soon to Sebastopol, California.
This wasn’t just any branding job. It was a chance to bring to life a full visual identity for a space rooted in calm, balance, and intention. From the very first conversation, it was clear this salon was going to offer more than just great hair; my client's goal was to make the salon an experience. And that’s exactly what we set out to reflect through the brand.

A Modern, Meaningful Custom Salon Logo
The client came to me knowing one thing for sure: they wanted a lotus flower in the logo. But rather than using a traditional lotus (which can sometimes feel overdone), I took a more minimal, symbolic approach.
Here’s what makes this custom salon logo special:
Three simplified lotus blooms — a subtle nod to family and connection
A central dot — symbolizing balance, presence, and harmony
Custom S letterforms — inspired by the shape of a lotus leaf for a soft, organic feel
The result? A logo that feels peaceful and grounded, but still elevated and intentional, just like the experience this salon promises.

Building a Peaceful Brand Identity
The full salon brand identity includes:
A custom primary logo, secondary logo, and logo mark
A calming, earth-toned color palette (think sage, charcoal, warm cream, and a whisper of lavender)
Font pairings that strike the balance between refined and approachable
Visual elements and brand illustrations inspired by natural textures and Bali-inspired tranquility
Every detail was designed to reflect a space that invites you to breathe a little deeper, from the branding to the decor.
