WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED TO START A SPA / SALON

When starting any business, it is important that you do research. When looking to buy this equipment, you should also do your homework. If you are experienced in this job, you will know which equipment is needed at least the basic ones. You should also know which brands are the best. Don’t compromise on quality even if you are just starting out. It is important that you give your clients the best so that they can come back again and again.


To tell you the truth, beauty salons were rolling in profits even during the recession. . Nowadays, with the chic modern equipment and the advanced innovations for non-invasive skin and body care treatments, beauty salons are competing on the same level as gyms and operating rooms, which is pretty unbelievable, right? Very true, but hard to believe.

We’re not going to identify special features of every single piece of equipment but rather discuss basic equipment in general and answer the question: “What equipment do you need to start a spa salon?” We’ll discuss the equipment de jour of the beauty industry and give you tips on how to maintain tools and equipment in a beauty salon.

Ask a professional for help.

 The Chairs

Chairs are very important, so large part of your funds should cover them. While purchasing a tattoo chair, barbers/styling chair, or an electric chair for facials, remember that people are going to spend long hours in those chairs. Facial steaming, ultrasound cleansing and microcurrent therapy can take up to two hours, coloring long hair with newest techniques can take up to five hours and let’s not even start adding numbers on tattooing – it can take months. So, if that chair of yours is awful and painful to lounge in you are likely not seeing that customer ever again. They’ll give their money to someone who cares about their comfort. The same goes for your staff. It is essential for them to have chairs that are comfortable, easily adjustable, and offer good back support.

It goes without saying – you simply won’t have a business without chairs. Pay attention to the comfort, adjustability, and durability of materials. They should properly function and be very easy to clean and disinfect. Always pick chairs for your specific needs. Nowadays we have so many amazing options that address every single smallest concern and need.

Find your chair-style and stick to it while furnishing the salon. If you want your space to have a high-tech look, invest in chairs with clear lines, light or silver colors, and a lot of metal. If you are building your business around being a men’s barber shop, invest in masculine, massive chairs. These are the various types of salon chairs available on the market today:

Barber chairs

Styling chairs

Tattooing chairs

Beauty Facial chairs

Massage chairs

Dryer chairs

Shampoo unit chairs

Salon professional chairs

Reception chairs

Welcome area chairs and couches with integrated storage units

 Salon Stations

Salons are always carefully separated into sections. This is done to properly organize work. The demarcation is usually done with furniture and equipment. Proper stationing also means that stations that are near each other are complementary to each other. These are the stations and the equipment they should include:

Wet Stations: shampooing unit, shelving, or a trolley with shelving to hold shampoos and conditioners.

Single Stations are used in smaller salons and are usually placed against the wall. These are styling stations, so they should include a proper chair (hairstyling, tattoo, or styling), hydraulic chair for the staff, trolley, mirror, and styling furniture

Back-to-Back Stations: double sided stations for a large salon. Proper chairs (hairstyling, tattoo, or styling), hydraulic chairs for the staff, trolley, mirror, and double-sided styling section furniture

Drying Station: drying chairs and drying equipment

Welcoming Section: couches and chairs for the sitting area

Product Storing Section: storage of furniture

Manicure/Pedicure Stations: manicure/pedicure chair, manicure table, magnifying lamp, hydraulic chair for staff, shelving, or a trolley with shelving to hold the products.

There are a lot of different options of equipment available for a great day spa.

There are so many treatments that can be offered. The most popular, of course, is the always popular and very profitable massage. You have to decide on the kind of massages you are going to provide in order to buy all of the correct equipment and furniture. There are staples and basic additional equipment:
