Trolley?

Tinting

This is so new to me

And does anyone suggest any retail items?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated xxx

Right I'll try an go through my room in my head so I'm sorry if I repeat anything.

Barbicide/mundo jar
Frames for certificates/offers
Clock
I have clear Perspex jars to hold cotton wool/ tissues
Oil for after waxing?
Mirror for clients. I have a stand up one that spins with a magnifier on the other side.
Magnifying lamp with light for lashes in case light is poo in the room. Mines horrendous in the day so I couldn't live without this
Daylight lamp for nails
Latex gloves
Also, I buy a kingside duvet or flat sheet in the colour scheme of my room then hang it over my couch so that you cant see under the couch. Great for storing spare towels, bed roll etc if your short on space. Plus I think the couch looks better.

That's all I can think of for now. Good luck lovely, I'm sure you'll smash it.xxx

Good luck.
Disposable gloves for waxing
Lint free nail wipes
Mini hair dryer for minx

Retail options disposable mascara brushes for separating lashes.

If you have some pictures of previous work make up a wee photo album so clients can look at your work X

Can't really think of anything else apart from get some shelves to put retail products on x

That Kingsize sheet idea is SUCH a good idea!

We did it in my old salon. I hate it when I go anywhere and the bottom of the couch is exposed, it looks so weird. Cheap as well, primarni sheets!

Don't forget a first aid kit and accident book! (just incase, you never know!)

Also, little things clients might ask for like tissues, little note cards incase they want your number, next appointment cards, magazines, leafets about treatments or aftercare

 

[Claire-Bear]

Don't forget a little cash tin to put all your takings in!!!! :biggrin:

Good Luck in your new venture!
