9 Hair Styling Devices and Accessories You Need in Your Beauty Salon
18th Feb 2022
As an owner, manager, or stylist of a beauty salon, you know just how imperative every product purchase can be for your business. You need to ensure that each and every one serves specific and applicable purposes for your clients but also doesn’t break your budget.
That is where we come in at La Española Beauty Supply. We proudly connect beauty professionals with the most high-quality products. However, we ensure that these products aren’t going to make you wince when you press that “buy” button. Instead, we supply you with dependable products for low costs (and, ultimately, low stress!).
We have a wide selection of products, but one category of which we’ll highlight today is our hair styling devices and accessories. Your beauty salon– no matter the size– requires certain styling devices and accessories in order to attain desirable outcomes for your clients so they keep coming back to you!
Let’s take a look at just nine hair tools you need for efficient hair cutting and styling.
1.Blow Dryer That Has Power but Not Much Weight
You need to equip yourself (or the other stylists in your salon) with just the right hair dryer. We recommend you choose one that has high power for faster and more efficient drying but also is lightweight as to lessen wrist and hand fatigue. Bonus points for choosing something that is ergonomic for the stylist!
2.(At Least One) Curling Iron
You will often have clients who require some specific styling, varying from beach waves to tight curls. In order to satisfy their requests, you should equip yourself with the most high-quality curling iron. There are various diameter sizes for curling irons, so we highly recommend having several options available in order to perfectly supply your clients with their desired look.
However, if you can only choose one curling iron, the most universal size is the 1.25-inch curling iron.
3.The Best Flat Iron Possible
Flat irons, or straightening irons, are exceptionally important in any salon. However, it’s no secret that finding the best flat iron for your business is no small feat. For hairstylists in particular, the best flat iron is one made of titanium, since it heats up quickly and is remarkably strong.
Another great material for hair straighteners is ceramic. Straighteners with ceramic plates are ideal for thin, heat-damaged, or fine hair, as they are more gentle than titanium plates.
4.Shears
Where would any hairstylist be without their sidekick? Shears are quite possibly the most important accessory for them to have, as they provide clean cuts and are specifically designed to cater to the stylist’s hand and its common movements.
5.Blending/Texturizing Shears
As helpful as your go-to shears can be, they may not properly provide you (or your client) with the desired cuts and styles. That’s where blending shears, which are also called texturizing shears, come in. They can effectively make unique hair textures (if you couldn’t already tell from the name) and are not so blandly cut.
Want shape and pizzazz in a cut? Your texturizing shears will happily and easily oblige.
6.Round Barrel Brushes
Of course, you’ll be needing to not just brush your clients’ hair to tame it pre-cut but also use it when styling hair with the hairdryer post-cut. The best brush for the job has unanimously been agreed upon by professionals: round barrel brushes.
They play numerous roles, including evenly distributing heat from the blow dryer, calming frizz, creating any style from waves to curls, and even proportionally styling bangs.
7.Hair Combs of Varying Sizes (and Sanitizing Equipment)
Whether you typically cut women’s hair, men’s hair, or both, you should still equip yourself with handy-dandy combs. There are various size combs available in order to best cater to specific hair lengths and thicknesses, so choose these based on your clients and their hair types. Be sure to not forget to have sanitizing equipment along with them!
8.Apron
No hairstylist should be without an apron. Your apron is one of the most practical elements a professional can (and should) have. There are two big reasons for this. One, your apron can shield your clothes for hair products and your client’s hair clipping in general. Two, it can hold all of your essential tools conveniently right on your person, such as brushes, combs, and shears.
There is actually a third reason we didn’t mention: style! You can be even more memorable to your clients if you wear an apron of chic style (and you can even score some free advertising by adding your name and/or your salon’s name!).
9.Cutting Apron
Don’t forget to supply an apron to your clients as well, from hair washing to cutting. This will effectively keep their clothes protected from water, numerous hair products, and their own hair clippings. No one enjoys walking around wearing wet, dirty, or hair-covered clothes. As you should be protected from hair and hair products, as should your beloved clients.
