The Hairdresser's Guide to Essential Tools: Top 5 Must-Haves

Congratulations on embarking on an exciting journey in the hairdressing industry! As an aspiring hairdresser, your creativity and passion are crucial, but having the right tools is equally important. To help you achieve professional-looking results and elevate your hairstyling game, we have curated a collection of essential hair tools that every hairdresser should have.

1. Hairbrushes and Combs

These trusted companions are essential for detangling, creating precise sections, and achieving seamless styles. Start with the essentials, including a paddle brush, a round brush, a wide-tooth comb, a fine-tooth comb, and a tail comb.

The Servilles Academy kit comes inclusive of GDH brushes, padddle brush, postiche brush, round brush, and more!

2. Hair Dryer

A high-quality hair dryer is indispensable for quickly drying hair, setting styles, and adding volume. Look for one with adjustable heat and speed settings, as well as a concentrator nozzle for precise airflow control.

Recommendation: We highly recommend out students invest in the GHD kit, Ghd Blowdryer and brushes. This is apart of the Kit that Servilles Academy makes up for our students!

3. Curling Irons and Hair Straighteners

These tools enable you to create versatile hairstyles, from curls and waves to sleek, straight looks. Invest in high-quality options with temperature control, even heat distribution, and different barrel sizes.

Recommendation: We highly recommend out students invest in the GHD kit, including their platnium irons. This is apart of the Kit that Servilles Academy makes up for our students!

4. Sectioning Clips

These clips are vital for precision styling. They help divide the hair into manageable sections, allowing you to work on one area at a time. Look for clips with a strong grip and consider having an ample supply.

5. Hair Spray and Styling Products

Reliable hair spray and styling products are essential for setting and maintaining hairstyles. Choose a hairspray with strong hold that doesn't leave the hair sticky or stiff. Consider stocking up on a range of styling products like mousse, gel, serum, and texturizing spray to cater to different hair types and desired looks.

Recommendation: We love the Davines range for our students, and always have this on hand for them to use.

Building a well-equipped kit with these essential hair tools will enhance your hairstyling capabilities and ensure long-lasting results. Invest in high-quality products that can withstand daily use and provide optimal performance. Prioritize client satisfaction and strive for excellence in every hairstyle you create.

Best of luck on your journey as a professional hairdresser!
