Treatment products are some of the most expensive items on a salon shelf, so it pays to stock the ones your clients actually book. Here is a plain-language look at three common treatment types and how to decide where to start.
What each treatment is for
- Keratin and smoothing treatments are booked by clients who want manageable, less frizzy hair for weeks at a time. They usually need a full system and a stylist trained on it.
- Hair spa is a conditioning service. Clients book it for softness and shine, and it is easy to add to other services.
- Bond repair is used alongside colour, bleach and chemical services to protect hair during the process.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each product. Results depend on the hair, the product system and the stylist’s training.
How to decide what to stock first
- Look at last month’s bookings. Which treatment was requested most?
- Check which brand systems your stylists already know well.
- Start with the treatment that fits your current services, then add others as demand grows.
- Match retail take-home products to the treatment where it makes sense.
Questions to ask before you buy salon packs
- Which pack sizes are available, and how many services does each pack cover?
- Is the full system available, or only some steps?
- What is the price for my quantity?
- Can I pick up from the store or does it need delivery?
