Portable Hairdressing Equipment For The Mobile Salon Operator
Portable hairdressing equipment come in handy if you offer home salon services or you're a hairstylist who specializes in personal services. Being on the move all the time means that your equipment should be easy to carry but must also be as complete as any other stationary salon. If you're planning to offer home salon services, here are a few things you need to remember. What you need
The equipment that you will purchase will depend on the services that you plan to offer. Nowadays, the word "salon" does not only mean hairstyling, but could also include manicure, pedicure, make-up, foot spa, massage and other personal care and pampering services. The one thing that you can never do without if you're running a mobile salon business is a portable carry-all case that will contain all your magic wands. There are a number of manufacturers that offer a portable salon carrier with multiple containers and pull out boxes that can be carried around easily. These containers can hold all the basic supplies that a hairstylist or salon operator needs; including scissors, hair dryer, curling irons, manicure and pedicure tools, shampoos and other hair-washing formulas, hair brushes, razors, clips, cloth covers and other necessities for a personal care activity. Other must-haves are styling chairs that can be folded easily, where your clients can sit while they get their hair done or their nails cleaned and colored; a portable bowl for hair washing; a mirror; towels; salon aprons and bibs; nail dryers, foot spa system and other supplies for nail care if you also happen to be offering such services; and make-up kits and facial supplies if they are part of the package. Where to get them There are a number of manufacturers that offer salon equipment, both portable and those used in a stationary setting. Some of these are CBS Exquisite, Dino Manufacturing, Dina Meri, Futura and Design X. You can purchase brand new equipment and supplies from these providers or you can opt for used or second-hand supplies. If you prefer to cut down on supply costs, there are also several providers of used equipment. Salons that are upgrading their equipment or are closing down are also good sources of used materials. The Internet is the best place for you to find sellers of brand new and used salon furniture and supplies. Online retailers like eBay and Amazon are never short of salon equipment and are good sources for finding furniture and equipment auctions. The good thing about portable hairdressing equipment and other portable personal care tools is that you don't need to worry about their designs and colors not matching the interior or theme of a salon. You can be as creative or as adventurous as you like in choosing your supplies; and best of all, you can choose the ones with the lowest price. |
