What to store and carry equipment in?

[ajshard]

Hi

I am currently training, initially I will be do nail enhancements, manicure and pedicure when I start mobile but am hoping to train further in the very near future and offer waxing, facials and massage and possibly spray tanning.

I have been looking at beauty trolley/cases but have no idea what size to get. There seems to be quite a big variation on sizes. I want to be sure I get a big enough one to cope in the future lol as they are quite a big investment.

Please can anyone recommend what size and type should suit my requirements and the best place to purchase?

Thankyou

I have a papermania wheelable bag/case. Its one of the big ones on their website (sorry can't do links, just type papermania into google), although I think mine was a bit cheaper.
Its actually for arty stuff but it has lots of different compartments and pockets and brush holders (which I use for small brushes & pens) which I find is very handy and stops everything getting mixed up. I can fit my nail prep equipment/products, first aid things, all my manicure/pedicure products (except polishes), massage oils and waxes, disinfectant/wipes/cleaning stuff and can still fit a few spare towels in the top!
I also have a matching small tote bag from the same company, which again has lots of divided areas. I keep skin care products in it as they are all kept upright and products for the same skintype are seperated for so I can find things easily.

you will know before hand what treatment your client is going to have, so you can have different bags for different types of treatments, i have a large silver trolly type and use this to take what I need if I am going to a clients house, although for foot spa etc another bag is needed, maybe have a cupboard at home to house all your equipment/products and have bag/s or trolly's to fill depending on what treatment you are going to give hth x

i've got quite a large black trolley that breaks down into 3 seperate casesso i can have it as a carry case or a larger trolley depending on what stuff i need, its called "Riva Bella" and is sold by NSI and a few other sites at £70-80 but i got mine from an ebay shop Sunrise Beauty UKfor half that price! even though its still a fair chunk of money I definately prefer having a sturdy case that I know will last longer and means im not rummaging about the bottom of a bag looking for stuff. before I seen that one though I was going to buy one from Salons Direct

I have a large holdall for tanning, smaller holdall for waxing, bucket bag for CND L&P and manicure, and another shoulder bag for calgel. I store them all in a cupboard in the house and just take what I need on the day, can be tricky if I have alot of different treatments (down & up 3 flights of stairs bag lady style lol) but prefer this to one big heavy carry case or hold all :biggrin:
Also the lighter the bag you are carrying things in the better hth xx
