Retail sales are an important revenue stream for almost any salon or spa. Just as important as choosing the right retail line to sell is learning the best, least expensive ways to buy products for your salon.

Your first step in buying products for your salon or day spa is to choose a brand that you love. You want a brand that not only matches the look and feel of your salon, but that your stylists and technicians are comfortable using. Clients are much more likely to buy a product if they’ve just had a good experience with that product at your salon. Unfortunately, not all brands will work with all salons. In order to protect the integrity of their brand, some brands have stringent rules about which salons are allowed to sell their product.
