Finding Salon Equipment Deals

On your journey to find the best deals possible on salon equipment and salon furniture, you should always consider attending a hair show sometimes referred to as beauty show. These industry specific trade shows allow you to shop multiple salon equipment distributors in one location. These close quarters amongst competitors entice deep discounts to sway your purchase. This environment allows even the most inexperienced negotiators a platform to purchase their salon equipment or spa equipment at rock bottom pricing.

As a vendor, attending hair shows are very expensive and you have to secure a certain amount of sales to recoup your expenditures for it to be worthwhile. In some circumstances, these equipment distributors will close down their normal business operations to attend these events. Most salon equipment and salon furniture distributors have a limited amount of knowledgeable sales staff, which requires an “all hands on deck” approach at trade shows. With this in mind, you may be able to secure great discounts a short period of time before and after the scheduled events.

A bit of legwork can be beneficial prior to attending a hair show, especially if you plan on making a large purchase. Upcoming trade shows tend to be heavily advertised within the industry, so you may be able to schedule your purchases around them. As you find upcoming shows, get a copy of the exhibitors list that will be attending the event. With this information, you can simply visit their website and pre-shop for the equipment you are interest in purchasing. It may be beneficial to place a quick call or submit an email to their company to ensure they will be displaying the items that you are interested in purchasing at the hair show or beauty show. As previously mentioned, space at these shows are very expensive and each exhibitor tries to maximize their sales at these events so they may only bring their top selling items or new products they are trying to introduce to the market.

If you do not have an upcoming event in your area around the time frame you plan on purchasing, it’s ok, there are alternative approaches you can take. A quick search for hair shows around the country and getting the exhibitors list is all you need. Most salon equipment distributors have a limited amount of staff that can process orders properly, so they are more than willing to spread their sales over a longer period than the two to three days of the trade show. Many times, a short period prior to the show and a minimal amount of time after the show, these distributors will honor the trade show discounts. These booths get so busy that they understand they cannot accommodate all the potential customers accordingly. As always, it is important to approach each purchase with an informed decision. Make sure you have addressed all concerns to assure you are purchasing quality salon equipment.
