Custom salon equipment - a how-to guide

OK, so you had a business plan and considering the today’s economic situation, you came to a conclusion that starting a beauty salon or a hair salon business would be the best thing to do.

The next steps would probably be the budget planning, office rental, buying the salon equipment and interior design.

So what happens if none of the furniture you could find for your business does not fit your needs for functionality or design?

Guessed it right - you need custom made salon equipment. Whether it is a spa, nail, barber or beauty salon  - you will always need one thing in common for any type of business mentioned - salon furniture and equipment.

Here are some tips you might find handy when shopping for custom salon equipment:

1. Ask the seller if they can provide you with custom colors of the existing items in their shop.
   It is not an uncommon thing for sellers to display only one color of the furniture they’re selling, but also to forget to mention that they offer custom colors too. So always have this in mind if you find something that you like, but in the right color as you imagined.
2. Inquire about the shipping time
   It is not uncommon if the seller has to make a custom order from the manufacturer of furniture. That way, you’ll have to wait for the custom equipment for you salon business to be manufactured first, then shipped to the seller and then shipped to your address. Remember to ask if they have the merchandise in stock and to have the delivery time estimated.
3. Beware of extra charges
   Ask the seller if providing you with custom color salon equipment might mean that it will cost more. In most cases, that should not be the case and be careful and always beware of the “salon equipment seller wannabes” who just want to rip you off and get most out of your pocket.
4. Inquiry about the warranty on custom products.
   Sometimes, because the products are different from the default product line manufactured, the warranty on such items might also be different and you should always ask about things like warranty. Warranty on your spa, hair, nail, beauty or barber salon equipment and furniture is something you always want to have, because you might never know if it might come in handy.

How to buy wholesale salon equipment?

First of all, what is salon furniture?

Salon furniture represents all the furniture as well as all equipment being used in beauty salons, hairs salons, spa or barber salons. It can be classified into many categories (like nail care equipment, body, skin or hair care and also massage care salon equipment). Some of items are shampoo units, barber chairs, beauty styling chairs, manicure tables, styling stations etc.

Do you judge a book by its cover?

I don’t know the answer to that question, but you must keep in mind that 90% of your new customers will judge your salon by its interior. Customers view of salon’s quality of service is based on the salon’s look. Have your salon set up well, fine decorated and enjoyable and you’ll have many customers returning to your business over and over again.

Look is everything, so keep that in mind when shopping for salon equipment.

If customers are expected to pay more for their hair cuts and salon services, then you as a salon owner are expected to provide them quality salon equipment to attract customers.

Choosing the right style for your salon isn’t always right and keep in mind that old fashioned and worn-type look salons do not appeal to clients. Maintaining as well as regular redecoration of beauty salon equipment is a must for every serious salon owner (if one of business goals is increasing the number of clients).

When buying from wholesale sources, keep in mind that you must buy from a reputable source or from an well established business. Frauds are not something that can be neglected these days and not many online shoppers can say that their online shopping experience has been always a pleasant ride.

Cost and quality of salon equipment

Keep in mind the cost of the equipment, salon equipment is available to fit everyone’s budget and Zurich-Beauty Salon Equipment store can provide you with low budged salon solutions as well as with complete salon packages.

Trust your vendor!

Customer service must be reliable and available during most part of the day. A good customer service can help you save money and claim discounts or guide you step by step through your purhcase process. We at Zurich Beauty offer our customers live support through our web site or over a tool free phone call, because we know how hard it can get when shopping for salon equipment and furniture.

Good taste can’t be bought
