We need salon furnishing and supplies when we open a new business. For those already in the business, every once in a while, we like to refresh our salons, or replace items when they wear out. Where can we get those great furnishings for our business?
Do you need new decor? Reception area chairs, a reception desk, or maybe facial and massage tables? The search can be daunting. We want great quality and affordable pricing, so here are a few tips on what items can add value to your salon business, and where you should be looking to get them.
Light It Up With a Light Kit
Most of us know where we can get day-to-day supplies, such as lashes, glue, mascara wands, gel pads, and tweezers. My go-to for all of those items are with Glad Lash. When it comes to lighting, I particularly love my Glamcor lamp. It’s so lightweight and I travel with it all the time. It literally takes me 2 minutes to set up. Glad Lash carries these great lighting options from Glamcor.
Everything In Its Place
My other must-have is the acrylic organizer by Glad Lash. It has a place for everything I use close by and neatly stored. I love this, and best of all, you can add drawers as needed.
Keep all your essential adhesives, application tools and aftercare products organized and close at hand.
Beds and Chairs
For beds and chairs checkout retailers such as SpaSalon and Asti Salon Furniture for an large range of quality salon equipment. Of course you'll want to do your own research before you make a decision for these big ticket items.
The Cloud 9 of Lash Comfort
I have also been using this lash pillow. This tool is great for the comfort of your client and allows for a space on either side of the clients head to place your lashes and other tools. I like the fact that it elevates the lash pallet, making it easier for you to see the lash extensions on the pallet. This reduces the stress on the neck and shoulders.
The Essentials at Hand
My other go-to is the mobile lash tray. This one slides under my table and I can move it around to suit my needs. Like most lash and brow artists, we have many items, tools and accessories that we need at hand to get our job done. This tray is perfect and stores easily when not in use
Wrap Up The Decor With Other Accessories
You should find nice quality sheets and other accessories needed to complete your decor, too. Remember that Glad Lash carries most of the things you need. If you can't find some items on the Glad Lash website ask us for links to other places you can shop at for the things you need.
