Salon Accessories

What hair salon accessories actually run low first 

Gloves disappear faster than anything in this range, particularly once a salon's running more than one coloured head a day. The Caron Gloves Vinyl Powder Free Medium and DeSoto Black Satin Ultra Reusable Gloves both come in pack sizes built for that kind of turnover rather than the occasional single pair. 

Cotton tells a similar story: a 1kg bag sounds like a lot until it's spread across a week of colour and treatment services, and running out mid-appointment means improvising with something that wasn't designed for the job.

The salon supplies clients don't clock, but would notice if they were missing  

A neck strip stops clippings working down a client's collar, a spare towel means the next client isn't waiting on the wash, and keeping the disinfectants and cleaners range stocked, from a quick hand spray to something like the Dispel Hospital Grade Disinfectant for a full wipe-down, is the difference between a station that's actually clean and one that just looks tidy. None of it is the reason someone books an appointment, but all of it is the reason they come back.

Trade accounts can buy in bulk sizes that make sense for a salon running through this stock weekly, while smaller packs suit a home colourist or a studio that's only just getting started. Either way, this is the unglamorous inventory that keeps a good service from tripping over the basics.
