Setting up a hair and beauty salon makes good business sense because people always find the time and money to take care of their looks. In fact, despite the recession, the hair and beauty salon sector is growing worldwide and it is expected to continue doing so as the population increases.
Assuming you've got your business plan in place, here are the most important hairdressing supplies you need for a fully functional hair and beauty salon:
1. Styling and Barber's Chairs
You can choose from star or disc-based chairs which have a mechanism for adjusting the height. Depending on the image that you want to project for your hair and beauty salon, styling and barber's chairs can be traditional or very contemporary in terms of design and color.
2. Mirrors
You need large mirrors with brackets plus smaller hand-held back mirrors in case the customer wants to check the updo. Again, you can play with the color of the frames to match the look that you want to achieve for your salon.
3. Wash Points
These are the reclining chairs for washing and shampooing complete with leg rest, tilting basin, water tap, and plumbing for hot and cold water. Some brands are very luxurious and comfortable that customers doze off while having their hair washed or shampooed.
4. Reception Desk
It should have all the features to keep the records and other stuff, but it should also make a stylish statement. A reception desk could be the first thing that your customer sees in your hair and beauty salon, so make it impressive.
5. Hood/Hair Dryers
Elaborate hairstyles require hood dryers to hold their shapes. Hand-held compact dryers are also important and are in fact used more often in hair and beauty salons to dry and style hair.
6. Salon Towels
You need lots of soft and durable cotton towels to run a successful hair and beauty salon. Look for stain-resistant salon towels so you won't worry that they will get spoiled by chemicals from cosmetics and hairdressing supplies.
7. Hair Cutters
These include electric clippers and different types of hairdressing scissors. The latter are classified into thinners and texturizers and come in pouches, cases, and sheaths.
8. Razors and Blades
Male patrons usually look forward to a ritual shave after a haircut, so your hair and beauty salon should have a set of safety razors handy. Today's new generation shavers have ergonomic handles with finger rings for ease of use. They also have replaceable blades and blade extractors.
9. Hairdressing Gown/Apron
Unless you want hair all over your clothes and that of your customer, a hairdressing apron for the hairdresser and gown for the customer are among the most basic hairdressing supplies you should stock on. These items used to be basic coverings in boring colors. Now, they come in fancy shades and styles that make the salon experience more fun and relaxing.
10. Water spray
The humble water spray is important to make hair easier to cut. However, it is also used to spray a solution, such as sea salt water, to make hair easier to style. Water sprays now come in candy colors like pink, orange, and mint green which make them some of the most trendy-looking hairdressing supplies around.
