Hairstyling and makeup tools are the backbone of every professional salon. They are mighty weapons to cater to different clients, no matter their hair type, hair length, skin type or occasion. Hence, you must also be sure that the professional hair styling tools and makeup brushes you invest in are of the highest quality and ergonomically designed. This will assure you of endless possibilities for creating unique results that are beyond your clients’ expectations.
However, your professional tools also need some upgrades after a certain amount of time. Your tools start showing signs to let you understand whether it's time for an upgrade or not. Not knowing the same can affect the precision of the cuts and styles along with the overall quality of your service. So, here are 10 signs to look out for to understand if it’s time to upgrade your best hair cutting tools, makeup, and hairstyling tools.
Outdated Technology
Technology plays a crucial role in the precision and efficiency of any haircutting and hairstyling tools. Ranging from the motor of the professional tool to its blades, you must own one that is of the latest or highest technology. For instance, the DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating in Japanese Stainless-Steel Blades elevates the overall performance of every professional hair clipper along with its durability. This coating also enhances the properties of the steel material making the blades ultra-hard and resistant to heat and scratch.
Quick Overheating
Overheating even the top rated hair styling tools can cause a series of troubles in your every day working in your salon. Appliances such as hair dryers or professional flat irons can damage hair and cause a lot of heat suddenly that may ruin the texture of the hair. If your tools heat up too quickly and fail to maintain a consistent temperature, this is a sign. Look for one that comes with an overheat protection technology feature that ensures the tool switches off automatically during long use and ensures their safety.
Increased Noise Levels
When professional hair-cutting tools and hairstyling appliances start becoming noisier over time, it is a sign to get them updated. This is one indication of either motor damage or internal issues of the tool. In addition to this, loud noise can be unpleasant in any salon environment, such as when using a professional hair dryer to dry and style hair, causing your client discomfort. Updated tools mostly operate efficiently and quietly along with offering quick results.
Limited Versatility
Versatility is another key to creating stunning results for your clients’ hairstyling needs. Each client comes in with their specific requirements and you should be prepared with updated tools to meet their expectations, whatever their hair type or length be. For instance, a hair straightener is one of the most popular hairstyling appliances in salons which should be equipped with top-notch features and ergonomic design to maintain versatility during use. The new Pro-Shyne Titanium hair straightener with Rose Gold Titanium Floating Plates comes with:
- Titanium plates ensure constant and even heat to the hair, necessary for regular hairstyling along with chemical treatments like keratin, rebonding and more.
- 38mm wide floating plates to maintain the perfect alignment while straightening hair for comfort throughout the process.
- Dual PTC heater that heats up quickly and maintains a consistent temperature throughout for smooth and shiny results.
- Adjustable temperature settings with LED display to set the desired temperature from 110°C to 230°C to suit various hair types and styles.
- Auto shut off feature after 60 minutes of use for the safety of the appliance and to ensure your peace of mind.
- 360° swivel cord that rotates comfortably to prevent unnecessary tangling while using the professional hair straightener.
Loss of Sharpness
A common yet important sign of outdated professional hair scissors, hair clippers and beard trimmers is a loss in their blade sharpness. When the blades are dull, cutting and trimming hair will cause tugging and pulling along with uneven cuts. It can also result in causing discomfort to your clients, which can be harmful to the final results. Hence, if your tools’ blades are no longer sharp, it is time you replace them. Additionally, you must make it a point to regularly oil your professional clipper and trimmer blades correctly to maintain their durability.
Check your Makeup Brushes Too!
Along with hairstyling and haircutting tools, you must also be aware of the signs of your makeup tools. As these tools are directly used on the skin, they must always be of the highest quality to blend makeup products and be gentle on the skin. Here are 2 important signs to watch out for:
Shedding Bristles
If you find your makeup brushes feeling rough and uneven or are losing their hair, it's a primary sign that they are no longer performing well. Using them will only result in uneven application and irritation on the skin.
Cleaning Difficulty
With product residue and skin oils accumulating in the brushes, you may find it difficult to clean your makeup brushes.
