Spa Equipment
What supplies must I have for a spa room?
You can start with a hydraulic treatment table, a facial steamer with magnifying lamp, a sterilization unit, and a UV towel warmer. Any esthetic equipment that you add to the mix is a welcome plus and clients prefer salons where they can get done as many procedures as possible. Besides manicure tables and pedicure chairs, sanitizer cabinets, carts and trolleys, and multi-function spa machines, you can also consider adding massage equipment and a high-end professional LED system for body sculpting.
What types of machines do estheticians use most often?
Without a doubt, the most widely used machine in a salon is the facial steamer, closely followed by bottle warmers, UV sterilizers, and towel warmers. Facial steamers lay the ground for most cosmetic procedures by opening up the pores, bottle warmers ensure your oils and lotions are always at a comfortable temperature, and towel warmers and sterilizers further enhance the client's experience while also following the best hygiene guidelines. Besides these machines, staple beauty salon equipment that gets a lot of use includes magnifying lamps, body bars, and wax units.
What do I need for a facial room?
The basic beauty salon equipment for facials consists of a facial bed, a facial steamer, and a magnifying lamp. To save space and offer enhanced treatments, esthetic equipment tends to be multifunctional. Besides steaming, vaporizing, and magnifying, facial machines can also perform microdermabrasion, high-frequency toning, facial massages, as well as hot and cold treatments. Additional spa equipment that you might find handy for facials includes towel warmers and sanitizers, bottle warmers, and paraffin wax baths.
Do all towel warmers sanitize?
While most towel warmers are also designed to sanitize, some models only come with a heating function. If what you need is a towel warmer that also sanitizes, make sure the model you choose mentions having a UV lamp. This optional feature can be found on towel warmers regardless of manufacturer and capacity and is operated via a different button than the power one. The sterilizer function will typically turn off on its own after 10 to 15 minutes and the UV light always turns off when you open the towel warmer cabinet door to prevent eye damage.
Can I keep massage lotion or oil in a warmer all day?
Massage oil warmers are designed to gently heat oils, lotions, and gels at a comfortable temperature and maintain it throughout the day. They are meant for continuous operation and they do not compromise the massage oil nutrients in the process. Whether you opt for a Master® Massage single bottle warmer or for one that holds three bottles, you can rest assured that it will heat up quickly, safely, and evenly. There is no risk of overheating oils and lotions as the warmer stops heating when it reaches the set temperature.
Where can I buy spa supplies at the lowest prices?

What is the difference between professional facial steamers and at-home versions?
At-home versions of esthetic equipment are generally small and have limited functions, whereas beauty salon equipment is bulkier and professionals prefer it to be multifunctional to save time and space. While you can steam your face at home by simply bringing a pot of water to boil, the best option would be a tabletop facial steamer. This portable device is ideal for make-up counters and its nozzle is multi-direction adjustable. Besides having a steam arm, it can also be used for aromatherapy and has an ozone function that sterilizes the steam.
