A good trolley that is functional, durable and fits in with your décor is vital to a salon business. Here are some tips on how to select the right one for your salon.

1. Buying the Right Salon
Trolleys For Your Hair Salon
From the minute your clients pull up outside your hair salon they have
only one thing in mind - they want to be pampered, they want to feel
comfortable and they want to be made to look and feel beautiful. Any
business only gets one chance to make a first impression and a hair salon
which has the right mix of style, ambiance and organisation can help to
make the first impression a good one. That's one way to ensure that your
customers keep coming back for more and helps to make your business a
success.

2. There are lots of pieces of equipment which stylists need to have on hand
in a hair salon which is why it is so important that you spend a lot of time
really thinking about the best salon trolleys for your needs. The trolley
can be used to store everything your stylists need as well as keeping it in
an organised fashion so that everything is handy, easily accessible and in
its correct place. This in turn means that your hair stylist can provide the
best possible service to your clients.
Here are a few things to consider when determining which types of salon
trolleys will be the best fit for your business:
The size of the trolleys in a salon should really be determined by the
amount of space there is to house them. If the working area is a series of
separate stations with a trolley allotted to each area, then it is important
that there is sufficient room to get around them without them creating a
blockage.
Trolleys which are fitted with good quality castors can be easily moved
around as necessary. Narrow trolleys with numerous drawers are great
for storing items which can't be placed on the worktop. Wider trolleys
with shelves can be used to store larger pieces of salon equipment like
hairdryers and straightening irons.
Size

3. The height of the trolley is also important. If a hair stylist stands while they
work, the trolley should be of a sufficient height for them to easily reach
their equipment, whereas a nail technician may need a lower trolley which
they can reach as they sit to work on their clients.

4. Whatever size or type of trolley you choose remember that it must be
easy to keep clean. A clean and organised salon is vital if you want your
clients to keep coming back for more. Trolleys which are made with
durable chrome and plastic frames with a series of removable plastic
drawers or shelves are the easiest to keep clean.

5. It should be pretty easy to find salon trolleys which fit in well with the
decor of your hair salon. Most salon owners prefer their business to have
a sleek and professional look which fits in well with the standard trolley
with a silver chrome frame and black plastic drawers and shelves.
Alternatively there are a number of salon trolleys available which have
white fittings. Although these may look stylish at first they are not always
as durable and may be prone to damage and stains from hair dyes and
heated styling equipment.
A bright and colourful salon may prefer to choose trolleys in more vibrant
colours which are also available if required. If you are aiming for a more
exclusive and traditional ambiance you may prefer a salon trolley which is
made from wood and has glass frosted doors. This does look sophisticated
but is less resistant to stains and damage.
The bottom line is that there are lots of different styles, sizes and colours
of trolleys to choose from. Make sure that you choose something which
you can keep clean and tidy and which will fit in with the remainder of
your salon.
