Want to know what you need to open a beauty salon in 2021? Read on!
Why open a beauty salon?
One of the great advantages of opening a beauty salon is something we've already mentioned: this field has the characteristic of being indeterminate and constantly evolving. In other words, everything is totally linked to people's tastes or the fashion of the moment.
But why is this an advantage? You can be sure of being able to adapt your business without falling into stagnation, which can also be a challenge, since you'll need to update yourself from time to time.
Studies show that the beauty sector has been booming for some years now, and continues to grow steadily. This is another great advantage, as it's a totally current and expanding business, so it's not a bad idea to invest in it.
What do I need to equip a beauty salon?
In the previous paragraphs, we mentioned that, for your project to be successful, you need an effective business plan (and budget) and probably a license to operate in your area. You also need a good location to attract customers.
In addition, to open a beauty salon, you also need to procure supplies, and to guarantee a good job, they need to be of good quality. Clearly, the tools you need will depend on the services you want to provide and the audience your salon will serve.
But what is the list of products you need to open a beauty salon in 2021? Let's not wait any longer, let's get to know it once and for all! Starting with the basics of any beauty salon, O'Pure Distribution recommends that you acquire :
Scissors, clippers and razors
The tools par excellence of any beauty salon, hair salon or hairdresser are those used to cut hair. It's important to have a good variety of scissors, razors and other machines.
The idea of having a variety of tools is to offer a very versatile service. Of course, as we said earlier, this will also depend on the focus of your business. Keep this in mind when you open your salon.
Combs, brushes and tweezers
These are indispensable. Make sure you have a varied range of these accessories: hairdressing combs and brushes, shaking brushes and tweezers. They'll help you provide better service and make your work easier.
Hair dyes, hydrogen peroxide and accessories
Coloring, bleaching or applying a hair treatment is in high demand in the salon market. Keep this in mind when equipping yourself - your customers will surely ask for it.
In this case, you need to be well-informed on the subject and buy what you need when you open your salon: a variety of colorants, hydrogen peroxide or bleaching additives, as well as the respective accessories (such as the popular dilution containers and brushes for application).
Hairwashers, hair dryers and straighteners
These three accessories are also a must if you want to provide optimum service. Hair washers, dryers and straighteners are very useful if you perform a coloring service or apply other products or treatments.
Shampoos, conditioners and hairsprays
In some cases, it's necessary to wash your hair, especially when you've applied dye or bleached your hair (we talked about this in the previous point). That's why you need shampoos and conditioners - they're products you'll need at some point.
On the other hand, sometimes, at the end of certain processes, the use of hairspray becomes necessary. Keep this in mind, it's another of those products you should have in your salon.
Mirrors, swivel chairs and ambient elements
Let's end this list with environmental accessories. What would a living room be without its large mirrors, adjustable swivel chairs and other distinctive elements? Keep in mind that these two accessories will be of great use to you, and that the best thing is that they ensure the comfort of your future customers when you open a beauty salon.
To decorate your salon, you can use other resources, again depending on the services you offer. For example, you can put up posters with suggestions for styles, cuts or hairstyles, place magazines in the waiting room, play soft music and so on. At this stage, your creativity is worth a lot, and your customers will appreciate it!
