Personalisation
Gown embroidery
All of our gowns are embroidered in house with the utmost care. Our unique bespoke service gives us maximum flexibility to provide the service you need. There are no minimum quantities, and we take as much care with a single gown as we do for large salon groups. Text embroidery is absolutely free, and for logos we charge small one off set-up fee. Our embroidery team can trace out any logo to create a perfect reproduction – we like to think anything is possible! Click here to see some designs we have previously embroidered and what our previous customers have said.

Position & sizing
The most popular positions for embroidery are on the centre of the chest where it can be up to 15cm across, or on the breast where it will be 10cm. Other positions may be available, please give us a call on 01283 585656 to discuss any special requirements.
Personalisation
Thread colour
We hold over 400 different colour threads in stock and can closely match your corporate colour. While threads do not come in pantone colours, we can find the nearest match for you. Alternatively, you can send us a sample to compare to – we have even had customers send painted paper to ensure that their decor and gown embroidery look perfect together.

FREE text embroidery
If we can embroider your chosen design from a keyboard we are happy to do so with no charge at all! Just type in your text exactly as you require it to appear on the gown, including capitalization & punctuation. Bear in mind that your embroidery has to fit into a 15cm circle and, whilst we do not have a character limit, we recommend that each letter needs to be at least 5mm for legibility.

You can email your logo to us in any format to [email protected], or post a copy to Feel For Hair Ltd., Tomlinson Business Park, Foston, Derbyshire, DE65 5BU. We will trace it out & replication it exactly on your chosen gowns.
