brushes💋
their blue round brushes have been one of my favorite additions to my kit! i have one in almost every size & they’re great for all hair types and the extended barrel makes a huge difference
Shop Our Brushes
in beauty school i struggled detangling a all my clients’ hair with the brush that came in the school kit, i wish i would’ve known about the unbrush sooner😭
if you offer kids cuts or have tender headed clients then that’s even more of a reason to ...
UNbrush Detangling Hair Brush Collection
highlighting & coloring tools⭐️
i feel like everyone is very particular about these tools so these may not all be for you but they’re what works for me!
i know it’s weird but these & the kirkland foils are my holy grail! no they’re not pretty like some other foils out there but they’re almost half the price, sturdy, yet so lightweight!
i’ve tried all the cute foils out there and for me they jus...
Foil Sheets
i have two foiling combs i LOVE & this is one of them! very affordable & they have multiple colors which makes it easier when you’re in a salon with other stylists who also love this comb!
highlighting comb
you know when only those bottom few foils are ready? or when you want to run that bleach over the ends quickly-instead of throwing previously highlighted hair back in that foil? doing a wet balayage? yeah- these are great for all of those scenarios &...
foil pulling gloves
not only are these the perfect size & comes in so many shapes, having brushes with white bristles to exclusively use with bleach means you won’t ever have to worry about leftover bleach on the color brush you’re using for a root touch up!
my favorite highlight & balayage brushes
an affordable option & it really packs that color on! perfect for clients with stubborn grey hairs
favorite brush for a root touchup
perfect for root melts/shadow roots
“nugget brush”
love the signature brush for root to end colors and for either foil or free hand low lights
another color brush you need
this specific board i’d use for free handing lowlights
Balayage Board
i use this as a foiling board (i hardly ever do a traditional open air balayage lol)
FRAMAR Balayage/Foiling Board
has helped me navigate AND TRANSLATE shades eq like it’s nothing!
The Toner Bible
updos & styling🎀💆🏼♀️
my personal holy grails BUT not every tool is meant for every stylist!
she is super affordable & serves so many purposes!
teasing comb
worth the hype! the long barrel makes it so easy to use, it’s also comfortable to hold! i use the 1.25in on my hair most of the time but a lot of my clients prefer the 1in
Long Barrel Curling Iron | Nanoionic MX
the first photo is the one in my kit! it is great for ironing and occasionally curling (i only grab that over my bioionic when the hair is above the collarbone)
if i curled hair with a flat iron more often OR if i were building my kit i would purcha...
Nano Titanium Flat Irons
she doesn’t get talked about nearly enough! so lightweight & powerful! i personally really love the shape of it too! lots of stylists at my salon love this one too & im so glad they put me on to it!
yes it isn’t as inexpensive as some option...
PARLUX Hair Dryers
non-sexy necessities🙄🫤
these aren’t the cutest items in your shopping haul but you won’t regret these purchases!
i really don’t use a whole lot of moroccan oil products but somehow got my hands on their apron (don’t ask me how) and it’s the perfect length for a short girly like me! it’s thin so you won’t be dripping sweat after finishing a color or feeling over...
Stylist Apron - Moroccanoil
your clients will ask to borrow a charger so yes, this will come in handy! every salon needs to have at least one of these! so easy to keep track of because it’s all on the same cord but will work for any kind of phone
3 Way Charger Cable
great to sleep in or wear for a few hours of downtime (driving, hanging out at home, etc) carpal tunnel is a HUGE concern for us hairstylist so being proactive is very important
Carpal Tunnel Gloves
find a hairstylist who never suffers from back pain.. you can’t. so let’s work to prevent it where we can!
Best Neck & Cervical Pillows
i struggle with anxiety and sometimes fidget toys can come in handy! so might as well use ones that have long term benefits lol
Squeeze Ball Carpal Tunnel
this isn’t something i’d recommend buying super early on because there’s so many expenses in the beginning and this is one you can wait on. however, it comes to you’re rescue on those busy days that are full of haircuts and/or extension installs
