If you own or are about to open a hair salon, you need to make sure that you have all the relevant supplies, equipment and furniture well stocked. Here’s a checklist of five items you can’t operate without …
1) Quality hair dryers are not the same that most people have for personal use, they are actually designed for salon use. There are several brands that specialize in these products, so they have all the features and benefits you will need.
2) Every stylist needs their hairdressing scissors and you want to make sure that you and everyone on your team have a quality pair. They come in different shapes and sizes, perfect for creating different looks or achieving different cuts.
3) Brushes and combs are also essential and you will need many. Ask your team which one they prefer, as everyone has their preferences, and again make sure you have at least one for every style you can create.
4) No salon should be equipped with clippers, especially those that cut both men’s and women’s hair. You’ll want an easy-to-use, easy-to-clean product, and reliability is the keyword. It never hurts to have backups too. You don’t want to come out in the middle of a cut.
5) Many clients like to have their hair straightened and curled, so it stands to reason that you need some hair straighteners and straighteners. However, quality is absolutely paramount, as each product brand offers a different end result. Read reviews and talk to your customers about what they are going to need and be prepared to update if there is enough demand for something new.
Now that you know the basics, from hairdressing scissors to hair clippers, why not make a list of everything you need and start doing your research?
