Wall printing ideas for salons, barbershops and small storefronts

Rendering: Parrot and flowers printed on a retail storefront window

Salons and barbershops live on social media. Every client takes a photo in the chair. A printed wall puts the shop’s brand in every one of them.

Inside the shop

  • A brand wall or logo behind the chairs
  • A photo spot clients post from
  • Mirror surrounds with custom designs
  • Vintage barbershop or fashion themes
  • Stylist and barber spotlight walls

Storefront

  • Window graphics on glass
  • Exterior signs printed on brick or block
  • Hours and services on the door

What to plan for

  • Small shops decide fast. Bring a mockup on a photo of their wall to the first visit.
  • Check the mirror and station layout so the design reads around them.
  • Offer a seasonal refresh for a busy window.

How to pitch it

The best prospects have a wall people see every day, a reason to change now, like an opening, a rebrand or a renovation, someone you can reach who decides, and a budget for signage, decor or branding already. Start with salon and barbershop owners, tattoo studios, nail bars, boutique gyms and other small storefronts on the same block.

The walk-in takes about 20 seconds:

“Hi, I’m [name] with [your business]. We print full-color murals and graphics straight onto walls, right here in [city]. Can I show you what that wall would look like with your logo on it?”

Take a photo of the wall, mock the design up on it, and follow up with an email in two days and a call in a week. Most jobs aren’t lost to price. They’re lost to a follow-up that never happened.

Questions people ask

How long does a salon wall take?

Most feature walls print in a day or less. At 10 to 20 square feet an hour, a 100 square foot wall is five to ten hours.

Can you print on the shop window?

Yes. Decide between a stained glass look, light through the color, or solid color with white ink behind it.
