Business N Finance

I’m just back from the salon equipment trade show and saw some wonderful facial machines and hair steamers. If we invest a couple of thousand dollars and some hard work, we can transform this dated beauty salon into a chic beauty spa. The most promising machines at the show were the facial steamers and the hair steamers.

First we need to strip off the avocado wallpaper that screams 1970s, rip out the carpeting, and have someone build a new receptionist’s desk. The mirrors can stay. We should be able to remove them from the walls, redo the walls, and put them back up. Of course, we need new lighting, but that shouldn’t be too expensive. The new spa needs nice, bright lighting to illuminate our work, but it needs to be soft, not harsh, to set the tone of a relaxing place for our clients to renew their looks. We should get new the chairs, but that can wait. They’ll do for the moment until the machines pay for themselves. I’d like to see a color scheme of Tuscan Red and Goldenrod. That combination is all over the magazines and furniture stores. Maybe add touches of olive green or butter yellow here and there. And let’s replace the old radio with a new sound system so that we can provide soothing music to create the relaxing spa atmosphere.

Hair steamers are the new rage in hair care. One booth at the show had wall-mounted ones and free-standing ones. These hair steamers can be used for just about any hair treatment. They speed up the process and are much more gentle to the hair than other heat sources. They can be used for perms, dyes, hair straightening, among other things. The ones that caught my eye were from Taiwan and seemed to be of better quality than the Chinese ones. Near the steamers I saw a computerized hair dryer. It provides extra heat for hair that needs it for a good set. It also has an easy-to-read digital read-out that I could read from salon distances.

But what really got me excited about turning our beauty salon into a beauty spa were the facial machines. I saw a lot of different types of skincare machines at the show. They had facial steamers that were free standing or with lamps, magnifiers, and timers. I also saw a line of machines that have spray/vacuum, a galvanic unit, and a brush unit. These machines were not all that expensive. If we want to really become a full-service facial spa, we should definitely get the facial machine with eight functions. It costs more, but it would pay for itself when we bring in high-end clients.

I’m so excited about the possibilities! I brought back a stack of literature about all types of salon equipment. I’ll study these and go online and do more research to figure out how we can redecorate our salon and refit it with the best set of equipment so that we can attract more upscale clients with a full-service beauty spa.
