Starting out in a style or beauty profession, like becoming a stylist or aesthetician, is a massive accomplishment- so congratulations on your graduation! As you gear up to create your first salon space, you might feel overwhelmed by everything you need to get going. After all, the right tools and setup can make all the difference in delivering a quality experience for your clients.
Luckily, with one visit to The Foam King, you’ll be able to create a welcoming and well-equipped space in no time! From custom cushions for longer appointments to special supports for specific services, The Foam King has an array of foam-based tools tailored to each unique sector of the beauty industry. Here’s a breakdown of how you can use our favourite products to make your clients feel comfortable and to give yourself a strong start in your new profession.
Essential Tools for Your Workspace
- For Hair Stylists: The Raised Driving Wedge- As a stylist, you’ll likely spend hours on your feet with clients who are sitting for extended periods of time. This is where a raised driving wedge makes all the difference, elevating and angling your clients’ seats to provide extra support and comfort, especially during lengthy services like balayage or extensions. The wedge is also a huge benefit for petite clients who need a little boost to sit comfortably at the right level. Adding one of The Foam King’s raised driver wedges to your setup will make your services more enjoyable for clients and enhance your workspace to accommodate each person you serve.
- For Lash Extensionists: The Knee Bolster- Lash extension services often require clients to lie still for long periods of time, which quickly becomes uncomfortable without proper support. A knee bolster is the perfect solution to ensure your clients are relaxed and supported throughout their sessions. This cushion, placed under the knees to help relieve strain on the lower back, is a bestseller at The Foam King- for good reason! For lash artists who rely on clients being calm and still, having a knee bolster in your space can highly improve your clients’ experience, making each appointment more pleasant and enjoyable to keep them coming back!
- For Aestheticians: The Knee Bone- As an aesthetician, you’ll find yourself working with clients lying in various positions, depending on the services you offer. The Foam King knee bone cushion offers lumbar support for clients’ bodies, especially when they’re placed in awkward or uncomfortable positions, like body waxing or pimple extraction services. This bolster is ideal for non-facial procedures or full-body treatments, where aligning the spine and relieving tension in the legs is key. Adding this cushion to your setup helps your clients feel comfortable and cared for, and they’ll notice the difference during your appointments!
- For Makeup Artists: The Hip Cushion- Makeup artists, especially those specializing in FX or bridal makeup, know that some sessions can last hours. Luckily, The Foam King’s hip cushion is a simple yet powerful addition to your space, helping clients sit comfortably for extended periods. This cushion provides extra hip support, reducing the discomfort that can come from sitting still for too long. It’s also a great way to ensure clients leave your chair feeling refreshed rather than stiff or achy after sitting in your chair. With a hip cushion in your toolkit, you give clients a more enjoyable experience… and reduce the likelihood of squirm-induced smudges.
- Custom Foam Solutions: For Any Salon Setting- If you’ve read this list and thought, “huh, interesting… but none of these are quite right for me,” guess again! The Foam King can customize foam to fit any unique need you may have in your service space. Whether you need foam of a specific size, shape, or thickness, The Foam King’s custom foam cutting lets you get exactly what you need to match your vision. Perhaps you’d like a special backrest for pedicure chairs or a range of facial bolsters for your massage table? Whatever you need, our team has the tools and creativity to make your dream a reality. We guarantee that adding a custom foam product to your suite will help your space be functional, stylish, and inviting for clients.
