Why your salon supplies matter

Investing in the essentials for your salon business will ensure your customers are satisfied with their experience and the operational efficiency of your daily business operations. From walk-in customers to back-to-back appointments, your average day in a salon can feel chaotic, as though you’re scrambling from one task to another. 

Investing in salon furniture like hair wash basins, seating and storage can add structure to your store layout and ensure everything has a place. An organized workstation will help you keep cool, calm and collected no matter how busy your day looks. Buying top-quality salon supplies will show your customers you value them and remain committed to offering them the best salon experience possible. Let’s take a closer look at the essentials for your salon business that you can find at your one-stop destination, Salon Furniture Warehouse. 

Essentials for your salon business

  • Reception seating 
  • First thing first — when your customers arrive at your reception desk, you may not be ready to serve them right away. Particularly for elderly customers who may not be comfortable standing for long periods, an essential for your salon business is a designated waiting area where customers can sit comfortably until their appointment. Our reception seating includes savvy benches in a bold pop of red, silver, white, grey, or black to complement your design aesthetic. We also have individual waiting chairs or adjoined sets of 2, 3, or 4, depending on your needs. 

  • High-quality salon chairs 
  • Now that it’s time for their appointment, you’ll require salon chairs, so you can style your customers’ hair for long periods and ensure they remain comfortable. These seats are height-adjustable to ensure you’re working in an ergonomic set-up. Particularly when blow-drying, dying or trimming their hair, you must ensure the client is at an appropriate height, so you don’t strain your arms or shoulders. We stock a range of traditional barber chairs, all-purpose chairs, stools and styling chairs to accommodate your space best. Stools are a nifty way to save space if you have a more compact salon. 

  • Mirrors
  • Fit out your hair salon with our selection of mirrors that will make your salon appear even more spacious. Mirrors are essential for your salon business as they will enable your hairdressers and customers to see how the hairstyle progresses. Our wall-mount mirrors come in traditional styles with adorned frames or modern designs with simple black, white, silver, or gold frames in circular, curved or square shapes. Our LED mirrors have dimmable touch sensors, so you can adjust the mirror brightness as required. 

  • Shampoo stations 
  • There’s no better feeling than when a client can lay back and have their hair washed by a professional. They can shut their eyes and relax while your hairdressers look after their hair. Our shampoo stations come in various colors to suit the aesthetic of your salon, from tan and white to grey and black. They have adjustable basins to ensure client comfort and to make it easier for your staff to work. Opt for one of our shampoo cabinets to store your hair shampoo, conditioner, treatments, and other products to keep them accessible while attending to your clients' needs. 

  • Professional hairstyling tools
  • Your hairdressers will require professional-grade styling tools for precision and quality results when serving each of their clients. At Salon Furniture Warehouse, we stock a versatile range of state-of-the-art hair dryers and steamers to accommodate the needs of your salon. If you have a tighter space, our wall-mounted hair dryers will save your floor and cabinet space, so you have more room to move around. Alternatively, our hair dryers on wheels have an adjustable floor stand for easy use and storage. Temperatures are adjustable to suit your clients’ needs and include an adjustable airflow diffuser. Our hair steamers will help escalate the speed of hair dye and oil treatment and kill any fungus on the scalp to prevent dandruff. 

  • Manicure station 
  • From a nail drill cubbyhole to a tool pole hole, table lamp hole, built-in nail polish rack, storage drawers, cotton box, garbage drawer, and more, your resident nail tech will appreciate the thoughtful attention to detail of our manicure tables to suit your budget, needs, and decor. They come with real granite tops and are built to last the long haul with MDF material and an acetone-proof laminate finish. No need to cry over spilled nail polish remover — these manicure tables are designed to withstand years of rigorous use, which is essential for your salon business.

    Our nail drying stations include magazine holders, UV light bulbs for hands and feet and fans to help aid the nail drying process. Serve anywhere from one to six people with our incredible selection.

  • Pedicure chairs 
  • Our pedicure chairs include pipeless jet systems to keep your work environment germ-free, LED mood lighting to set your spa's relaxing tone, and dual-action shower heads to fill and rinse the tub efficiently. From minimalistic neutral tones to vibrant shades, we have an incredible range of pedicure chair colors to complement your salon decor. And when you choose Salon Furniture Warehouse, you can trust that we’ll be there to help even after your purchase, should you need assistance with parts or anything else. 

  • Cabinets and trolleys 
  • When serving customers, you’ll need handy storage equipment to stock your brushes, hair clips, towels, hair products, and other hair equipment that you’ll need accessible. Our cabinets and trolleys come in fixed or moveable options on wheels to move around the salon as you need. Choose from distressed wood for a grungy aesthetic, white, grey, black, and more. For extra storage space, our towers are an essential for your salon business to save you floor space since they are tall and offer the ideal balance of open shelving and drawers to keep messiness out of plain sight. 

  • Skin care equipment 
  • Whether it’s hair removal, facial treatments, massages, or makeup, our skin care equipment has it all. Our top-quality wax warmers deliver the perfect wax temperature to protect your clients’ skin. Give your clients a luxury experience with hot towel warmers to provide them with the ultimate spa-like experience. Additionally, our facial steamers will nourish their skin to revitalize their complexion. 

    From massage and facial beds to makeup chairs and more, we have all the essentials for your salon business to create a memorable experience for your clients.
