How to choose a salon provider for your salon

So you’re going to open a salon. Have you already chosen your hair suppliers? Choosing the right supplier of your hairdressing equipment is very important for your business. They can be very beneficial to you and help you build your living room. Together, you and your supplier will form a team to strengthen and improve your business. When looking for hair suppliers for your salon team, consider these things.

How long have they been around? This is not to say that the new savvy street vendor is not competent, but an established company will offer more stability and reliability. They are also probably better equipped to handle any issues you may have.

What do your other customers say? If you really want to know how well (or how poorly) a company is performing, ask its customers. Ads can say a lot of things, but when you start with people, THAT’S when you’re most likely to start getting the truth. Talk to other store owners about the hair suppliers they use. Ask them questions about specific companies and see what kind of feedback you get.

Are your prices competitive? Of course, you don’t want cheap equipment that falls apart the first time you use it. On the other hand, you don’t want to pay through the nose for hairdressing equipment either. Your best bet is to find providers whose prices are competitive and reasonable.

Do they provide good customer service? Many people would rather pay a little more for a product and get great customer service than buy something cheap and have poor or non-existent customer service. Your hair suppliers should offer good customer service, ready to solve problems, help you with problems, and make your job much easier.

Do they know their products? When a rep comes to see you, do you feel like they know your products well, or do you feel like they know little about what you’re selling? Good hair providers know their products very well and can recommend you if you need anything. They should also know how to substitute products when something doesn’t work for you.

Are they the industry? Good hair suppliers must not only be knowledgeable about their own products, but they must also be very familiar with the industry. They must know what the needs are within the hair industry and be able to respond to those needs with products and support.

Do they keep up with the latest technology? The beauty industry is always changing and evolving. Are your hair suppliers keeping up with the latest developments? Do they visit you regularly and educate you on what’s new and now? Or are they still selling the same old stuff and still trying to fix the same problems with the same tired solutions?

Do they have the products you need and want? Now a vendor can be fantastic and have all the features listed here and still not have the products you need or want. In that case, they are still of no use to you. Make sure your hair suppliers have the type of salon equipment you want and need. After all, it is your living room. You must have the products that YOU want.
