Ordering inventory for a busy salon can be a challenge. Many salons focus on everyday supplies when they complete their orders, such as hair coloring liquids, permanent solutions, capes, and clips. However, it is the beauty equipment that truly keeps your salon running smoothly. Without these essential tools, your beauty professionals would find it very difficult to do their jobs.

No salon could function without trolleys for the stylists and other beauty professionals. Trolleys keep the stations organized and prevent product waste and spillage, and because they are portable, they can be shared between stylists. Stylists need coloring trolleys to hold their beauty supplies such as hair coloring liquids, brushes, foils, coloring bowls, clips, and other tools. Hair stations hold styling needs and the beauty products necessary to transform their client's hair from dull to fabulous. Even estheticians and massage therapists need trolleys to hold their products and tools. Busy salons typically have one to two trolleys for each beauty professional to help them organize and transport their tools.

Estheticians and makeup specialists require beauty equipment that is specific to their needs. Magnifying mirrors and lamps, high frequency machines, ultrasonic machines, adjustable lighting, and other tools are the essentials that these professionals rely on to give their clients glowing skin and professional makeup.

Do not forget about the most important beauty equipment: furniture for your salon. Even solid furniture such as reception chairs, salon stations, reception desks, and signs wear out over time and must be replaced. These items are not only functional, but they also set the atmosphere for your salon. Clients notice the decor and furniture first, and these items make a powerful first impression that can help determine whether that client will return or not. Your furniture should look new and be functional, or it should be replaced.

Functional beauty equipment like styling chairs, massage tables, hair steamers, shampoo bowls, and other items help the stylist perform his or her job. If anything in your salon is not in perfect working order, it is a liability rather than an asset. Replace these items or order the replacement parts necessary to fix them as soon as possible to avoid inconveniencing your stylists or clients.
