Salon Savers - Tips to save money at the salon

[galaxydreaming]

I've got a few tips (maybe nothing new) to share to save $$.

1) Purchase wooden coffee stirrers (come 1000 in a pack) for your small waxing spatulas - they cost like $5!
2) Cut cotton pads in 1/2 - saves alot as I chew through them with tinting
3) Cut up wax strips to use to remove nail polish in stead of cotton pads (they just suck up the acetone)
4) Cut almost empty (seemingly) product tubes, clean out product stuck to sides and spatula into the bottom cut part, use the top as a lid - theres sooo much more product to use.

I'd love to know any of your tips and saving advice if you'd like to share

I'll add "once-used paper couch roll" to clean wax off the floor (only) with.

I use plastic "orange wood" sticks that can be sanitized and reused to clean up polish.
