Essential Hair Basics for Your Salon

From precision tools to everyday accessories, our Hair Basics collection covers the full range of supplies licensed stylists rely on to deliver consistent, professional results. Below are some of the key product types you will find in our inventory.
 

Clips, Bobby Pins & Rubber Bands

Sectioning clips and clamps are among the most-reached-for tools in any salon. Whether you are working through a color application, a precision cut or a chemical service, reliable clips keep hair neatly organized and the work moving efficiently. Bobby pins and rubber bands round out this category as indispensable finishing and styling accessories for updos, braids and everyday service work.
 

Hair Rollers & Wrap Strips

Hair rollers give stylists a reliable way to build volume, set curls and create long-lasting wave patterns across a variety of hair types and lengths. Different roller sizes and materials allow for results that range from tight curls to smooth, voluminous blowouts. Wrap strips are a complementary staple, used to smooth styles and protect the hairline during finishing treatments and sleek styles.
 

Processing Caps

Processing caps are a standard part of any salon's supply rotation. Used during deep conditioning treatments, color processing and chemical services, they help trap heat to improve product penetration and promote more even, consistent results. Disposable processing caps also make it easy to maintain sanitary standards between clients without added laundry or cleanup time.
