Do you suffer from:
- muscle pain
- lower back aches
- calf tension
- heel spurs
- arthritis
- sore feet
No matter if you are a barber, stylist or beauty/spa technician, you are likely to be working long hours standing on hard laminate, cement, or hardwood flooring. Working around your styling, all-purpose, or barber chairs for extended periods of time can lead to wear and stress on your body.
Professional styling mats are the easy, affordable solution. Stylist mats provide unparalleled design, performance, and quality. Easily rolled out to surround your chair or work station, they provide a cushioned workspace with virtually no installation. Mats are made of strong super soft materials(some are 100% polyurethane), providing lasting durability and unparalleled design. They feature a lightly textured, matte black or marbleized finish, offered in different sizing lengths and shapes; rectangular, semi-circular, or hex custom to fit your space and style. Also, a smaller shampoo mat is perfect for added comfort while working around your shampoo sink or shampoo station. A half-moon depression allows the mat to be placed comfortably under styling and barber chairs for a seamless look.
Have your choice of 1/2” to 1” ultra thick therapeutic anti-fatigue cushioning that reduces the discomfort associated with long term standing. Designed to interact with the body, they reduce the stress and strain of activity while promoting better posture, proper circulation and muscle conditioning.
Here are some easy tips for proper care of your styling mat.
Make sure the mat is placed properly on the floor with the top shiny surface facing up. A common mistake is when the mat is placed upside down causing hair to stick to the surface and the mat to work improperly.
How to Clean Your Mat:
Clean the surface of the mat with a mild household cleanser, followed by plain water and towel dry. Alternatively, a wet Swiffer/cloth and dry Swiffer may be used.
Mat Safety:
1. Insure that the surface where the mat will be placed is free from chemical or cleaning residue. The floor must be completely dry before placement of the mat. Placing on top of residue or moisture may cause sticking to the floor causing damage when lifted.
2. When removing the new mat from the box, do not roll backwards to force the mat to lie flat. Lay the mat on the floor and allow to flatten on its own. Rolling the mat backwards may split the foam and cause damage. If the mat must be rolled for short-term storage, it should always be rolled with the underside foam core to the inside with shiny top surface to the outside. This allows for the mat to lie properly when unrolled to be used again.
With proper care your styling mats will provide years of service with long lasting positive benefits to your health and workspace.

It has become an industry-wide standard in many establishments to offer pedicures. Pedicure services like any other beauty service, requires a set of special pedicure equipment & supplies.
Pedicure Equipment Includes the Following:
- pedicure chair for clients & pedicure stool for nail technician
- pedicure spa
- pedicure starter kit & towels (for both client and technician)
- pedicure tool kit: nail filers & buffers, clippers, scissors, pumice stone
- disinfectants, soaps, cleansers & disposable liners
- a wide selection of nail polish, nail polish remover, cotton pads
Pedicure Chairs & Stools
After deciding to offer pedicure services in your beauty salon or spa, a pedicure chair is the next logical purchase in delivering the best service to clients. The pedicure chair is of great importance because it sets the comfort level for the rest of the client’s experience at your establishment. A standard, well-padded pedicure chair is fine, however it is an increasing trend for businesses to offer pedicure chairs that have additional amenities. These include self-heating, massaging features; cup holders for beverages, magazine racks, and interchangeable covers for the chairs should you wish to alter the theme or colors of your establishment.
When looking to purchase a pedicure chair, look for adjustable height features and footrest as well as a chair that is upholstered in plastic, vinyl, or any other easy-to-clean material. A chair with additional compartments may also prove helpful in storing technicians’ tools & supplies. Above all, the notion of sanitation and maintenance of clean equipment is essential to deliver the safest, pleasurable pedicure experiences. On that note, purchasing a pipe less as opposed to a piped pedicure chair is most ideal in that it lessens the instances of bacteria collecting in the pipes of the footbaths. As a business owner and more importantly, a provider of health & beauty treatments, it is your responsibility to ensure that your clients enter a safe space for relaxation, free from the risks of infection.
In conjunction with the pedicure spa, you will also need to purchase a height-adjustable pedicure stool for the technician’s use in order so that technicians are able to deliver the most exceptional service, comfortably.
Pedicure Spas
To create the most luxurious pedicure experiences, the purchase of a pedicure spa would be most ideal. Pedicure spas tend to be comfortably padded and equipped with massage mechanisms providing your clients with tension relief and relaxation. The chairs in these pedicure spas are attached to a footbath where clients soak their feet prior to receiving their treatments. These footbaths, unlike the standard pedicure chairs, also are equipped with water jets propelling water over the feet as they’re soaked. New pedicure spas can cost from $3,000 to $4,000, but the investment is necessary if you are concerned that your clients receive the most satisfactory experiences.
Other Supplies & Equipment for Your Spa:
Pedicure Starter Kit
To perform the pedicure, your technicians will need to make use of pedicure starter kits. The typical kit will include all of the products needed for a pedicure including but not limited to: foot bath solution, skin exfoliant, moisturizer, and a softening mask product. Each item is either involved with the preparation, the duration, or the end of the treatment. Premium products tend to contain essential oils that are both nourishing for the skin and have pleasant fragrances. These products can also be sold at your establishment for clients to take home and add to their personal regimens.
Towels are also important in the pedicure treatment for use by your clients and by technicians. Towels help with drying and maintaining cleanliness during the pedicure treatment. Having towels available in an array of sizes should help to reduce loads for laundering.
Pedicure Tool Kit
The tools needed for an excellent pedicure experience include the usual nail care supplies (nail clippers, scissors, cuticle tool, nail filers & buffers) in addition to a pumice stone to soften the areas of the feet where skin tends to toughen. In an effort to reiterate the importance of sanitation, it is advised that you provide disposable filers that clients can take home at the completion of their pedicure treatments. The other tools mentioned above will need constant cleaning & disinfectant application.
Items Needed for Nail Polishing Treatments
One of the most anticipated parts (and most noticeable) of a pedicure is the painting of the nails. Offering a wide selection of nail polish to your clients enables them to express their personality and that kind of expression is an important part of the beauty experience. An impressive collection also encourages your clients to return and choose another color for their next pedicure. Basic products needed include the nail polish, nail polish remover, and cotton pads for removal. Wipes are also becoming more popular as the removal of the polish is easier and faster.
Items Needed for Optimal Cleanliness
Disinfectants, soaps, and cleansers are a given when operating an establishment that handles health & beauty treatments with regular volumes of clients. When deciding on what items to use on both your clients and to sanitize the equipment used, consider hypoallergenic solutions with less irritable ingredients, as these are likely to agree with everyone, regardless of skin type. The solutions used on your equipment for sanitation procedures are just as important as the surfaces are ones your clients come into contact with regularly. EPA registered disinfectants are ideal for this purpose. As noted by the International Nail Technicians Association and the Nail Manufacturers Council, this solution acts as a bactericide, virucide, and fungicide. Attention paid to the labeling and usage of these solutions is highly recommended. When in doubt, ask your clients if their skin is extra sensitive to certain types of solutions so that you can ensure the best experience possible for them.
Disposable liners are used to reduce the risk and prevent the spread of infectious elements present in the footbaths. They are to be replaced after each client’s treatment. The best liners are those made of recyclable plastic because they are durable and lightweight. Their recyclable quality also is more environmentally friendly—important because they are disposed of so regularly. Keep into consideration, however, that the use of disposable liners does not eliminate the need for your technicians to clean pedicure equipment entirely—it merely acts as a more safe & convenient alternative to cleaning the footbaths between each client’s use.
Keep in mind that all of the factors in your purchasing process have the ability to make or ruin what could be the best pedicure experience they’ve ever had. To see the items Keller International has on sale for your pedicure providing needs, visit http://www.kellerinternational.com. One of our featured items is the Human Touch Roller Massage Pipeless Pedicure Chair offered at nearly 10% off!

Operating a salon requires a great deal of care and consideration into everyday aspects of the business. Whether you provide hair care, nail care, or body care services, it is expected that you are aware of the safety & sanitation procedures needed to conduct the best services possible. In order to ensure proper care of your clients, employees, and the establishment itself, there needs to be attention paid to these procedures on a day-to-day basis.
Beauty Salon Safety
Keeping your establishment safe should be a priority for you and your staff as it communicates the trustworthiness your clients should have towards your salon. Practicing safe procedures also ensures that you make the most of your salon equipment's life and that you keep your business running as long as you possibly can. In the salon business, there are several major hazards that you will need to caution yourself against and those are: fire-related incidents, burglary, and accidents within the salon space.
In order to protect your salon furniture and salon equipment from fire-related incidents, there are several factors to consider: Set up an intruder alarm detection system with codes for your establishment.
- When deciding to put combustible materials (aerosol cans of hairspray, solutions containing alcohol, etc.) in waste bins, make certain that these bins are a good distance from regularly used electrical equipment. Have your staff of employees undergo fire hazard training.
- Make certain that they know where the fire extinguisher is located as well as procedures to follow when a fire does arise. Prohibit smoking indoors. If your establishment allows smoking on the facade of the business, provide a metal-lidded bin for their disposal of ashtray contents.
- Unplug salon equipment not currently in use to avoid short-circuiting. Do this when you close the salon every night. Have a qualified electrician come by regularly for maintenance purposes.
- Avoid using portable heaters with naked flames or exposed, radiant, hot surfaces.
- Never directly heat alcoholic solutions like acetone to make them work faster--instead, use a warm bowl of water to do the heating indirectly.
- Keep all combustible materials not currently being used, in a locked, dry cabinet.
Protecting your salon from crime can be easy if all staff members are aware of safety procedures and abide by them on a regular basis. Care and caution every day can lessen your chances of being burglarized. Here are some helpful tips:
- Set up an intruder alarm detection system with codes for your establishment.
- Ensure your locks are working with a locksmith on a monthly basis. Permit key duplication with your own personal discretion.
- Put away any costly electronic equipment that may tempt intruders in back storage closets in order to make your space less appealing to intruders.
- Have at least two employees open and close the business every day.
- Install a surveillance camera behind the cash register.
- Keep a low balance in the cash register. When making a bank deposit, vary the times that this is done.
Little accidents are common to most businesses, but you will want to work to lessen these instances as there is likely to be a great deal of foot traffic flowing in and out of your salon. Protecting your clients & staff from accidents is possible with the following tips:
- Keep the floors as neat and tidy as possible. Encourage your staff to clean after each client has left. If this is not possible because of the traffic your establishment receives on a regular basis, have one of your staff members be designated to manage the floor that particular day (this works best on a rotation).
- Repair damaged floor coverings immediately--this is not only a major safety risk, it is unsightly for everyone (especially your clients!).
- Have on hand a first-aid kit at all times.
- Post safety procedures on a discreet wall of your establishment and ensure that your staff know the necessary steps.
- Repair or replace (if necessary) damaged salon equipment in order to avoid accidents. You will want to uphold the best safety standards possible in your establishment and keeping your salon equipment in amazing shape is a large part of that.
Beauty Salon Sanitation
Cleaning and general upkeep should be a part of your everyday operations, however, there are aspects of sanitation within a service-oriented business that even the most careful business owners overlook. Sanitation is important for your ratings as a business, but most importantly, it is important for your clients, your team of staff, and the salon equipment itself. Your attention to the client's health is crucial because it reassures their confidence in your establishment. If they are aware of the high standards you set, they will likely come back as well as recommend their friends. Here are some pointers on how to better communicate the dedication you have towards your client's health:
- Talk through with your client the sanitation and disinfection procedures as you perform them; this encourages your client to be more knowledgeable and build their confidence in your part regarding their personal safety.
- Clean & disinfect tools between clients with EPA approved disinfectants. Use disposable tools and towels when possible and give them to your clients upon departure. This keeps processes clean and they leave with a token of your salon.
- Maintain regular cleaning procedures with your staff and have them record dates of completion. This enables you to obtain better control on what standards your establishment is able to uphold.
- Foot spas should be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed after the use of each client (read more on how to, below under salon equipment care).
- Use techniques and processes that prevent cross-contamination of creams, lotions, make-up products, wax pots, etc. For example, using a pump to dispense the lotion lowers the risk of contamination.
A team of strong, healthy staff members is something every salon can pride itself on. Protecting your staff's health is a large part of your responsibility as the owner and you can easily set great examples by providing the initial framework for safety at work.
- When applicable, have your staff wear protective eyewear and facemasks during certain procedures in order to ensure that there is no transmission of germs.
- Practice good personal hygienic habits like frequent hand washing.
- If they have injuries like cuts on their hands, make it a requirement to wear nitrile gloves (as latex & vinyl are permeable to many nail product ingredients) for their safety and the client's. Change these gloves after every client.
- Have exhaust vent systems embedded in your work tables as well as wall or ceiling-mounted exhaust systems in order to exchange indoor air with fresh air. This should remedy most of the problem with harmful inhalation of chemicals.
- Transfer bulk cosmetic products to smaller, manageable containers in order to protect staff members against exposures to large amounts of chemicals often. This also reduces the instance of spillage.
- Prohibit eating & drinking at the stations. Instead, provide a designated break room for dining.
Protecting the life of your salon equipment
- When washing tools with soap & water, make certain that the residue of soap is gone before putting the tools in Barbicide, as it tends to work less effectively.
- Using an autoclave is becoming more and more commonplace in establishments. An autoclave is a tool that is commonly used by medical professionals as it sterilizes tools using heat and pressure. The autoclave removes all air from the chamber and heats up to 250 degrees, killing all viruses, spores, and bacteria.
- To disinfect and treat portable and whirlpool footbaths, Sani tablets make the job all the more easy. It also reduces hard water deposits, which extends the life of your spa machine. Sani tablets are EPA approved and will not harm the skin or cause discoloration.
Lastly, there are several regulations needed to have your salon pass its safety and sanitation guidelines. The regulations usually vary state by state, so you can find that information by clicking here. Additionally, there is an important nail salon guide posted by the EPA that is worth reviewing. You can find that document by clicking here.
If you would like information about salon licensing within the state of New York, click here. Prominently display your certificates and inspection reports on the walls of your establishment so that salon goers will be aware of what an immaculate space you keep and how dedicated you are to your work, your staff, and the clients.

Ensuring your customers leave with the best haircut is a concern many barbers and salon specialists have on a daily basis. For this month’s blog post, we will discuss the most appropriate tools for the various hairstyles your clients will request. These tools include shears, scissors, clippers, and razors.
When purchasing your tools, make certain that you have a variety available to use, as this will enable you to achieve the best cut for that client with allowance for customization. Additionally, there is a variety found in each type of tool—for example, with shears, the variety in detail is so great, that you can find variations in blades, handles, and types of thumb grips. Regardless of hair type, the key to using any of these tools is to maintain their original sharpness. It is important that you find a reliable professional who has had prior experience with sharpening hair tools to help with the task.
Scissors & Shears
Where an even cut is very important to the overall look, regular sharpened hair scissors are the best tool for the job. Many ergonomic designs are available today making the cutting a much more comfortable process. A popular model is the three-holed handle or the standard two-holed handle with a swivel thumb that allows for greater flexibility when styling. Left-handed scissors are also available. Primary differences between scissors and shears are the size of the blades and handles. Scissors & shears are great for:
- Clean & even styling
- Long or short fine hair, tightly coiled or kinky hair
- Clean, even cuts like bobs and accents like bangs
- Trims (which may be needed depending on your style)
Thinning Shears
Thinning shears are different from regular shears because instead of having two smooth blades, thinning shears have one smooth blade and another with teeth (with variations in the number & width of teeth). The blade with the teeth goes on top of the hair and the smooth blade goes underneath. Most commonly, wide-toothed thinning shears are used on thick hair as it removes more hair in greater chunks. Reducing the thickness in their hair enables them to more easily style it for everyday wear. Thinning shears are great for:
- Lightening long, short, straight, or wavy thick hair
- When creating a layered hairstyle, these can be used for a less “choppy” layered look
Clippers
Clippers come in many sizes, shapes, and motor strengths allowing you to better customize your client’s desired look. The numerous guards a clipper comes equipped with help control how much hair you are taking off. The clipper keeps a consistent blade setting allowing you to clip hair to your client’s desired length.
- Thick or fine short hair; tightly coiled or kinky hair, afros
- Extremely short, buzzed type styles, spiky hairdos
- Bald or nearly bald styles
Razors
Styling razors will most commonly come with a handle for easy maneuvering. The more pricey models have swivel blades on the handles adding flexibility. Replacement blades can be found in any drugstore or beauty supply shop. It is very important to replace the blade of your razor when it is no longer sharp because this ensures a precision cut. Razors should be avoided with curly or frizzy fine-haired clients, as this tool will only create more frizz for them. Razors are ideal for:
- Straight, thick hair, to achieve pixie cut styles
- Adding more volume or texture
- Feathered look that makes clients both look and feel lighter
- Edgy, angular cuts (which can be softened with the use of scissors)
You will need to use a variety of these tools together to achieve the desired look. The spiky, shaved look, for example, requires the use of clippers for the sides of the head as well as scissors and shears for the feathering style that is on the top of the head.
Careful care and keeping of your equipment will ensure that you will get the most use out of your tools and they will last for a very long time. As mentioned above, sharpening of your tools is highly recommended from time to time as it enhances the tool’s performance. Cleaning your tools ensures the safety of your services and the health of your clients. Remember that attention to detail and clean, safe procedures within your establishment should never be overlooked as it communicates your dedication to the clients’ satisfaction.

Salon Interior Design Tip #1: Consider Your Clientele
Is your salon strictly for “the girls” or do you cater to men’s grooming needs? Do you offer couples massage? Do you invite young teens to pamper themselves? Are you a family oriented salon? The most important element to interior design of your beauty salon or spa, is knowing who you will be serving and keeping your design decisions consistent.
Salon Interior Design Tip #2: Consider the Layout
According to an article published by “Entrepreneur” Magazine, the average salon space usually range from 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, although some can be considerably smaller (fewer than 1,000 square feet).
You'll need four separate areas in your hair salon:
- Reception and retail (20% floor space)
- Shampoo and Drying (10% floor space)
- Cutting and service (50% floor space)
- Storage, break room, and the employee/client restroom (20% floor space)
Salon Interior Design Tip #3: Color Palette
Colors affect people’s moods and attitudes. Consider how you want your clients to feel when they are in your salon or spa. Your service line will influence what colors you use. If you offer spa services, consider calming colors to help your clients relax. If you are going for more of a fast paced salon, you may want to use energizing-warm tones. Don’t be afraid to experiment with materials such as glass, metal, or stone to create a calming or energetic environment.
Salon Interior Design Tip #4: Lighting
The way you choose to light your facility can lead to a tranquil or an edgy atmosphere. Again, consider the image you are trying to project to your clients.
- Low light settings include candlelight, lamps, and accent space with track lighting or small spotlights. This creates a tranquil atmosphere.
- High light settings incorporate natural daylight, large lighting fixtures such as chandeliers, and open space that allows light to sweep from room to room, or through deep spaces.
Your best bet would be to incorporate the two lighting styles to create a unique atmosphere with ambient and direct light.
Salon Interior Design Tip #5: Quality Salon Equipment
Today, when you walk into a modern beauty salon, you will find a wide array of unique and comfortable chairs, manicure tables, and massage equipment. This is a sign of beauty salon that cares about it’s clients conform and satisfaction.
Not only will quality salon equipment increase your clientele, but will also enable your stylist with all the tools they need to ensure they can create a unique atmosphere and safe work environment.
The salon environment is part of the package. People will judge your salon based on how it looks, the flow of operations, and the cleanliness of the facility. If you create an appealing environment for your clients and employees, you will have greater success than if you ignore or neglect these elements.

Keller International Barber Chair K2006A was in the center of the Wrestling ring for the “Hair vs. Hair” shaving event with Donald Trump and Vince McMahon! Watch the video below.
Just as no haircut is the same, no beauty salon or spa space will be the same (unless you are part of a franchise). There are several factors to consider when shopping around and finally selecting real estate for your own beauty salon or spa.
Here are some key considerations:
1. What is your vision for the salon?
What type of environment do you want to create and how will the physical space and layout impact or enable your vision to come through? Do you envision a large, full-service beauty salon and spa, or a small space that specializes in a niche market such as a nail salon or barbershop?
2. Consider your clientele
Will you be serving families or are you trying to create an exclusive salon and spa? Consider how many people you will be able to serve at one time: will you hire a staff or will you operate alone? A clear understanding of your target market and the scale of your market will have a huge impact on your space requirements and salon design.
3. How many salon stations will you need?
Once you know how many clients you want to facilitate, and how many staff you will hire, you can begin to assess how many stations you will need to order. Different styling stations can vary in size. Remember to factor in space for storage, reception, and retail.
4. Be creative with the layout
Even if you are working in an intimate space, you can make the most of it, by carefully crafting the layout of your salon stations. A small space can appear open with some planning.
- Styling stations against the wall
- This layout works well for spaces without a lot of windows, in retail buildings, or residential locations. This layout creates a central area that may be used for reception.
- Styling stations back to back
- Styling stations that are back to back as islands in a salon space work well for locations with many windows. This layout is modern and allows for customized salon stations, as opposed to a uniform wall of mirrors and styling stations.
5. Remember to keep it functional.
Plumbing and electrical connections will influence how you design your salon. As much as possible give yourself room to work and move around your clients. Avoid putting workstations or shampoo sinks into corners if you can.
