Used Salon Equipment

Used salon equipment has become a much more viable option in today’s market than it has been in the past. If you are on a tight budget and trying to open a salon or barbershop, this is an alternative that can save you thousands of dollars in upfront costs.

Many salon equipment and spa furniture distributors allow customers to either put items on consignment or gives them a small credit as a trade in when they purchase new products. In addition, as salons and barbershops redecorate or upgrade their equipment they will try to sell their old items on craigslist, ebay and other sales platforms. If you choose this route to make your equipment purchase there may be opportunities to find some great deals on cheap salon equipment.

If you purchase salon equipment used from a distributor there may be a few safeguards in place that should shield you from defective equipment. As the distributor receives the items, they should take them through a series of inspections and tests prior to reselling the item. Please understand that not all distributors take the same precautions when dealing with used salon furniture so it is important for you to inspect the items yourself before making your purchase.
