Posh Salon Suites

Brief from client
This is a redesign for a salon that is opening a second location. The original logo was designed by the salon owner's brother so they did not want to deviate very much from the original.
I kept the symbol mostly intact, just moving the hair forward so it wouldn't be as elongated. I pulled the text out of the inside of the symbol and updated the subtext with a sans serif font. I'll post the original below.

Here is the original.
Nice job here Jon! i like what you did! You have improved on the old one tenfolds but have still kept the same sort of elements. Very well done! the only negative i have is that everything looks a little crammed.
I think you did an excellent job revamping this logo, and still keeping the elements they wanted. Nice work. I personally do not feel that it is cramped. I enjoy the symbol as it is integrated with the title font, but is still strong enough to stand on its own! It definitely has a much better balance now.
Whoa! Check out the lower S on her!
...
Also, I like the revision, the original artist will be proud.
I was a little worried about the bust giving a sexist vibe but I love the idea when it came together and it does sort of fall in line with beautifying aspect of a salon and the owner loved so we ran with it. lol
I don't think it is sexist, simply because it is for a salon and she is meant to be pretty.
Side note: Look at how puffy her sleeve is! She is a 1980s bridesmaid! Amazing! :D
Or Cinderella with a puffy sleeve dress. :)
I totally missed the boob. I'm a little disappointed in myself lol
This is really nice, although I'm not sure the subtext this comfortable there, I think it looks too forced.
I like what's going on with the S and the symbol. But the symbol itself, not so much. Mainly because now you have two different Ps, which is very redundant.
I see what you mean and I agree but that was one the elements that was important to the owner so I tried to update it without altering it too much. I was most concerned with getting all of the text outside of the symbol so it could become legible, especially at smaller display sizes.
