Opening a New Nail Salon: The Essential Equipment Checklist

Opening a salon means a lot of moving parts. This equipment checklist covers the must-haves.

Stations and seating

Manicure tables, comfortable client chairs, and pedicure spa chairs sized to your space.

Tools and safety

UV/LED lamps, e-files, dust collectors, an autoclave or proper sanitation setup, and ample ventilation.

Front of house

Reception desk, POS and booking system, retail display and clear signage. Buy quality where it affects safety and durability — and plan your layout for smooth client flow before anything is installed.
