Cardinal Barbershop

Cara and Mike set out to craft an experience that went far beyond a standard haircut. Drawing inspiration from the refinement of the 1920s, they curated an interior filled with authentic period pieces, including beautifully restored Koken barber chairs. This immersive environment became the foundation for the brand’s visual direction.

The identity centers around a bold, Art Deco–inspired typeface that evokes the luxury and elegance of the era, signaling the elevated experience clients can expect the moment they step inside. Gold metallic accents bring warmth, sophistication, and a cohesive vintage character to the brand.
