This is my favorite teasy light detangling brush for the shampoo bowl and behind the chair. It glides through hair without pulling or causing breakage—great for fine hair, extensions, and sensitive scalps. My only complaint was buying a pastel color ...
FRAMAR Chocolate Hair Detangler Brush
I got SO tired of plastic clips breaking and literally flying out of my hand mid-sectioning 😅 These are my absolute favorites for both color services and cutting. They hold large, heavy sections securely and can still grip fine sections without slip...
Framar Black Metal Hair Clips - 4 Pack
I love having details like these eyeglass protectors on hand. As a booth renter, I supply my own, and this is one of those small things that makes a big impression. If a client wears glasses and you take the extra step to protect them, they immediate...
FRAMAR Eyeglass Sleeves 200 Count Covers
Time is money, friend. Sometimes you’ve just gotta break out the big foils for big sections. These are perfect for balayage, heavy blonding days, and fast application when you don’t want to double up foils. Easy to grab, consistent sizing, and a tota...
Framar Big Poppa Silver Pop Up Hair Foil - 250 Sheets
This is my every-single-client cape. The snap placement fits a wide range of neck sizes comfortably, and it works for both cutting and chemical services. It wipes clean easily, but it’s still lightweight—perfect for my clients who run warm or deal wi...
Betty Dain Black Jaguar Bleach-Proof Styling Cape
I was very slow to adapt to a larger cutting comb, but I loooooove this one now. It’s especially great for men’s haircuts and for clean, controlled sectioning on A-line bobs. Smooth glide, good tension, and it just makes precision cutting feel easier...
Cricket Silkomb Pro-30 Power Hair Cutting Comb
I like to keep cheaper combs like this on hand specifically for kids. The fun colors give them something to focus on while I’m doing their hair, and I don’t stress if they bend the teeth or make noise with them 😂 These are my designated kid combs an...
3-Piece Carbon Fiber Hairdressing Comb Set
Trays just make life so much easier. Full stop. I use these for everyday services, and when I’m doing extensions, I use two. Having everything within arm’s reach keeps me organized, faster, and way less frazzled behind the chair.
Salon Tray on Wheels Rolling Cart Gold
Using a saddle stool is not lazy—it’s career longevity. Save your back, neck, and hips, especially when your hydraulic chair refuses to go any higher. Seriously. I’ve been in this industry for 10 years and this is one of those tools I wish I’d used s...
Professional Ergonomic Saddle Stool with Wheels
I know there’s debate about whether cute foils are “worth it.” Here’s my take: I buy middle-of-the-road cute foils—not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but quality pop-ups. I’m faster with these, they slip less, and I have way fewer issues with ...
Colortrak Leopard Pop-up Foil 400 Ct, 5x11
These are my ride or die color brushes. I use them for every service—root touch-ups, all-over color, highlights, balayage… you name it. Great control, easy to clean, and they just work every time.
Colortrak 3 Pack Hair Color Brush Set with Glitter Handles
The ONLY way I will do teasy lights. Period. The teeth grip the hair perfectly and give me the control I need without fighting the section. If you do teasy lights and don’t have this board, you’re working harder than you need to.
Cooboard Balayage Board with Teeth XXL Pink
This is my favorite board overall. It’s thin, lightweight, and still firm enough to paint on cleanly. I especially love it for those pesky neckline hairs. I don’t use this one for open-air painting—this is strictly my foiling board, and it shines the...
Pro Carbon Fiber Foil/Balayage Board - Purple
If you have all the money in the world and don’t care about wasting product… this isn’t for you 😅 But if you’re trying to make every bit of color stretch, THIS is the tube key you need. I won’t even use traditional keys anymore. It gets everything o...
Metal Toothpaste Tube Squeezer Tool
Honestly, any salon scale will do. I just love this one because it’s hot pink… and that’s my happy color. Accurate, easy to wipe clean, and it sparks a little joy on my station—which counts when you’re behind the chair all day.
Colortrak Digital Tempered Glass Scale 8x6.5
I get so many compliments on this apron—from clients and other stylists. It’s thick enough to protect from hair splinters during men’s cuts, but also works beautifully as a color apron. The pockets are deep and secure, so I can stash mints or my phon...
Jeanerlor Denim Apron with Pockets Black
This is my quiet money-saving hack for color bowls, but let’s keep it between us—promise? Traditional salon color bowls run $4–$5 each. Buying this 12-pack breaks down to about $1.50 per bowl, and they work just as well for mixing color. I go with bl...
