When it comes to the beauty industry, having the right tools for your nail salon suite is essential. From safety equipment to supplies, you will need a variety of items to perform manicures and pedicures safely and professionally. Let’s look at it this way: You wouldn’t want your hairstylist to cut your hair with kitchen scissors, would you?
But when you’re just getting started, it’s easy to feel like you’re going to drop a pretty penny on all your supplies. Here are five nail salon suite essentials, along with an easier way to get your perfectly manicured hands on them.
Manicure Table
You can’t do nails without a place to put them! Invest in a manicure table that has adjustable height and plenty of storage space. There are tables made specifically for manicures and pedicures that come with removable arms and footrests.
But if you’re on a budget, you can also repurpose a standard massage table or even an old kitchen island. Just make sure you have proper sanitation and comfort for your clients.
Task Light
A task light will help you spot even the tiniest imperfections and provide added illumination for your clients. Look for a lamp with an adjustable arm and a flexible neck so that you can position it exactly where you need it.
Instead of using a lamp with one round bulb, look for a light that’s long and rectangular. That way, you can light up the entire working surface and get a better view of your work.
Pedicure Chair
If you’re offering pedicure services, you’ll need a comfortable chair for your clients to sit in. Look for a chair that has a slide-out footrest and adjustable height so that it’s the perfect fit for each client.
Since you’ll be at foot height during the pedicure, it’s important to find a stool that’s comfortable for you. Look for one with an adjustable seat, and make sure you can pivot easily from side to side without straining your back.
Nail Art Kit
No nail technician is complete without a comprehensive nail art kit. Make sure your kit has all the essentials: nail polishes, brushes, decals, glitter, and rhinestones. You can even find kits that come with special tools like dotting pens and striping tape to make any design easy to create.
Sanitation Equipment
Last but not least, you’ll need to properly sanitize your tools and supplies. Invest in an autoclave or steam sterilizer if you can, or use disposable items like single-use files and buffers. You’ll also want to stock up on disinfectant spray, cleaning supplies, and nitrile gloves for safety standards.
The equipment for your nail salon suite doesn’t have to break the bank. Just make sure you’re equipped with the essentials, and you’ll be ready to give your clients fabulous nails in no time.
