High-quality professional equipment is a necessary condition for the successful operation of any beauty salon and for professional stylists . The quality of the services provided directly depends on the technology, so every self-respecting craftsman should take care of the availability and relevance of tools. Below we will talk about the basic set of devices and tools needed by every hairdresser-stylist.
The most important thing for a hair stylist
General requirements for professional equipment:
- The equipment must be professional, each device must be used strictly for its intended purpose, and the use of devices for home use is not allowed.
- Each device must be disinfected after use. If this is not possible, the device is used only once.
- The surface of the devices must be smooth, avoiding scratches and burrs to avoid damage to the hair and scalp.
- Devices should not enter into a chemical reaction with the products used - paints, shampoos and other compounds.
- A certificate of conformity is required for all devices.
Now let’s learn more about the range of professional devices and tools of a hairdresser-stylist and the requirements for them.
Stylist tools and equipment
In his work, a hairdresser-stylist usually uses 2 categories of tools - for styling and for combing. The first category includes curlers, hair dryers and electric curlers, the second - combs and brushes.
For styling
Curlers can be hollow cylindrical with a clamping bar - fixed with a bar, hollow cylindrical without a clamping bar - fixed with pins and spiked - without fixation.
For professional work, we recommend a hairdryer with a power of at least 1800 W, with hot and cold modes and a cord no shorter than 2.5 m.
The tongs are cylindrical - for creating voluminous curls, cone-shaped - for creating curls with varying diameters, and straight - for creating waves.
For combing
Every hairdresser-stylist should have 4 types of combs in their arsenal:
combined - combining teeth of different frequencies; homogeneous - with identical teeth; pointed - with a pointed end and regular - with medium-frequency teeth and a large handle.
Brushes come in several types: brushing - a round brush for adding volume, curling and drying hair; skeletal - has holes that allow air to pass through during drying with a hairdryer; massage – a round or rectangular brush, used to smooth hair and massage the head. Craftsmen are recommended to use brushes made of nylon, nylon or perlon.
It is also acceptable to use metal combs and brushes.
Additional tools
This is a set of necessary accessories that make the work of a hairdresser-stylist easier. Sprayer – water sprayer; plastic bowls of different sizes - for mixing dyes and other compounds; brushes; clips - for separating and fixing hair; shaker - a container for mixing compositions; measuring cups - for measuring the volume of compositions; napkins, towels, negligees and other accessories necessary for the comfort of the client and the good work of the master.
