Beauty Salon Equipment & Supplies 1-2-3
After you've come up with a salon design for your interior layout and decided on the furniture needed for
your salon, you'll need to purchase salon equipment and supplies.
Start by writing down a checklist of the items you need so that you can work them into your budget. If your
budget turns out to be smaller that the amount of supplies you need, consider making a small investment up
front and then purchasing more later.
Often, when you buy in bulk, you receive a bigger discount. Rather than buying small amounts of everything,
what about purchasing some products now at the bulk rate discount - and then other products later to receive
the bulk discount?
The items required will depend on the type of salon you run (hair, nail, spa, etc), but in general, here is
a short list of common salon and spa supplies and equipment:
- Floor mats
- Shampoo bowls an parts
- Rolling carts or trolleys
- Stools
- Salon irons/blow dryers
- Shampoo and other hair products
- Brushes, combs, scissors, mirrors, etc
- Facial skin scrubbers, steamers
- Hand towels
- Magnifying lamps
- Microdermabrasion machines
- Wax warmers
- Massage stone warmers
- Tanning beds
- Lighted signs
- Music system
- Computer, salon software
- Phone system
- Retail products to sell
Before you invest in salon supplies and equipment, it's smart to shop around to make sure you get the best
price, quality and service. You may also want to ask other salon business owners where they get the prices and
service on their supplies.
Some online resources for wholesale salon euipment and supplies include Marlo Beauty Supply, Wholesale Salon Equipment, Century Beauty Supply, Keller International and Salon Guys.
Don't forget that you can sometimes find a big cost savings in used getting equipment. Check out http://www.saloninteriors.com/products/used/ and http://www.ebay.com .
