Every proud salon owner knows that having the right equipment directly impacts service quality, customer experience, and business success. Your salon setup is a reflection of your professionalism and commitment to high standards.
To help you create an efficient and inviting workspace, we’ve compiled a beauty salon equipment list detailing the must-haves for running a successful salon.
1. Lamps
The perfect salon setup starts with LED magnifying lamps that provide clear, shadow-free lighting. Whether on a wheeled stand for mobility or a clamp-style lamp for compact spaces, investing in the right lamp ensures precision in detailed beauty treatments.
2. Sterilisers
Hygiene is paramount in beauty salons. Sterilisers and UV sanitation cabinets ensure tools are free from bacteria, fungi, and viruses after every use.
Types of Sterilisation Equipment
- UV Sterilisers – Quick and effective for daily tool disinfection.
- Autoclaves – High-pressure steam sterilisation for thorough sanitation.
- Barbicide Jars – A must-have for disinfecting combs and scissors.
3. Towel Warmers
A towel warmer with UV light sterilisation not only provides comforting warmth but also ensures cleanliness. Heated towels are perfect for:
✔ Facials – Soothing warmth opens pores for better absorption of skincare products.
✔ Massages – Adds a relaxing element to body treatments.
✔ Manicures & Pedicures – Elevates the spa-like experience.

Galvanic Facial Machines – Utilise electrical currents to deeply cleanse and infuse serums into the skin. The desincrustation function softens blackheads for extraction, while iontophoresis enhances serum penetration for nourishment.
High-Frequency Machines – Ideal for acne-prone skin, high-frequency therapy uses a gentle electrical current to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It also boosts circulation for a glowing complexion.
