When Mai opened her nail salon outside Houston, she budgeted $1,500 for the front desk. The first three quotes came back between $2,400 and $3,900 — and none of them included freight. If that sounds familiar, you are not being gouged. Reception desk cost is driven by five things, and once you understand them you

It starts innocently. A trolley arrives, you load a few colour bowls and a stack of towels, and it rolls beautifully. Six months later the bottom shelf is bowing, one castor has gone flat, and you are carrying the whole thing because pushing it feels like a health risk. Beauty trolley weight capacity is the

You have probably done this math at least once: a spa owner sees a used treatment bed listed at half price, feels the foam, and wonders whether it has two good years left or ten. The honest answer is that spa equipment lifespan is not one number. It is a set of numbers, and each

Picture this: your client is finally settled in, you lean over for a full set of lash extensions, and twenty minutes later your lower back is screaming at you. Nine times out of ten the problem is not your posture. It is the bed. The height of a beauty bed quietly decides how your back,

Why the Corner Spot Is the Best Real Estate in Your Salon Walk into most small US salons and you will see the same thing: a straight front desk shoved flat against a wall, a dead gap behind it, and nowhere to stash a card reader, a client’s coat or a stack of intake forms.

Halfway across the treatment room, your trolley catches on a grout line and a bottle of serum tips over. If that sounds familiar, the problem isn’t your trolley, it’s the casters under it. A beauty trolley with wheels that actually suit your floor changes how the whole room feels, and it’s one of the cheapest

It’s Monday morning, your first client is due in 20 minutes, and the steamer coughs once and stops. Nine times out of ten that’s scale built up over months of tap water, not a dead machine. Spa equipment maintenance is unglamorous, but it’s the difference between equipment that runs for years and equipment that quits

A 280 lb client settles onto your treatment bed, and the frame gives a little creak. That’s usually the moment estheticians start reading spec sheets properly. Beauty bed weight capacity is the number that decides whether a bed still feels rock-solid after two years of daily use, and here in the US it’s the spec
