You've just purchased your brand new hair dryer on a rolling stand or hair processor on a rolling stand you bought through us. How do you give it the best opportunity to "stay on its feet" and last you a long time? Let's dive in. A very important part of the assembly process is making sure the hood is over the wide part of the legs. This is where the weight is focused. The unit is top-heavy by design, meaning the heavier (hood) part is towards the top of the unit. A common mistake is moving your unit around by the hood. This risks damaging or loosening any part of the hood, possibly creating a less effective operation or presenting you with a costly replacement. Also, the hood could be hot if the dryer or processor was just in use. Instead, there is a darker colored bar or handle located behind the hood that allows for safely moving the dryer and/or processor around your space. If the dryer or processor hits a crack in the floor, beveled edge of a mat, or some other unsmooth surface, the momentum of the unit combined with the top-heavy nature of the unit is going to make the unit tip over. With a firm hold on the bar or handle, and your attention, you'll avoid any accidents at a higher rate.

You want the look of your salon or spa to be inviting, relaxing, and a place where clients want to make it their "home base" for their beauty needs.

Adding salon, spa, barber or other beauty equipment to your already-existing equipment and business can sometimes be a challenge. The company where you originally bought your equipment may have closed or gone out of business.

In our previous blog the other day, we talked about shampoo bowl parts and the necessary steps to take to ensure replacements are ordered accurately. While we touched briefly on the different types and materials our shampoo bowls are made of, I thought it'd be a good idea to expand that thought into more detail. [...]
If it seems like there are thousands of different shampoo bowls out in the market, you're correct! Acrylic, mold-injected plastic, porcelain, fiberglass - all contributing towards varying degrees of price, quality and sustainability over time by several different manufacturers and brands.
