Brand Photography for Salon 5th Avenue
Salon Photos - Salon 5th Ave
Shawna, the owner at Salon 5th Ave, reached out wanting a full brand photography session with some hair stylist photos for the salon. I had never done full branding for a salon before, so this was an exciting new venture. I’ve done headshots for individual stylists, but never an entire salon.
Salon 5th Ave is a Downtown Peoria hair salon and spa with a group of fun, warm hearted, talented stylists ready to serve Central Illinois. Their Salon is one of a kind and great at what they do!
We started out getting some shots of the the storefront from the outside. For a branding session with a physical location, these types of photos can be SO helpful to let their future customers know what they place looks like and what to expect. The building is so cute and welcoming, JUST like this team!
Then we worked on getting some detail shots and documenting their fave, Redken products. I worked through the layout of the salon getting shots of each area. Next up, the spa! 5th Ave has 2 estheticians that run the spa and offer loads of relaxing spa services. We got some detail shots of the spa and thoroughly documented the lobby area.
Brand Photography + Hair Stylist Photos
It wouldn’t be a hairstylist photoshoot without some stylist headshots! We got some general lifestyle type shots of each stylist at the salon chair sitting or standing next to it. We really focused on highlighting each stylist’s signature offer. One of them really loves offering extensions where another loves color and another cuts etc.! It gave so much personality to the headshots to actually have them hold the extensions, the bottle of dye, or the shears. We got some detail shots of them doing what they do best, and away we went!
Outside, we really had some fun! We got some shots of the entire team, some serious, some goofy or fun with their shades. Each photo totally represented this group. I could easily tell that they are a fun, close knit group. Their strong bond is obvious!
We ventured downtown to this white walled area which really made the photos pop with their all black fits. The location fit so well with their branding and allowed us to get really fresh feeling team and individual stylist photos. We tried out some different posing, smaller groups of the team, and even breaking out the dance moves.
It’s safe to say we totally nailed the vision and I think the team would agree that we got photos that truly reflect the stylists and just how welcoming and fun this group of peeps really is!
