Top 10 Must-Have Salon Accessories for 2025

Out with the old, in with the new as they say!

The salon industry never stands still, and your salon accessories shouldn't either.

Keeping your salon fresh and up-to-date doesn't just mean following the latest trends; it's about having the tools, furniture, and equipment that make your work easier, your clients happier, and your working environment more practical.

If you're thinking of making some changes to your salon business in the new year, you're in the right place, as here, we will be looking at how these essentials can take your salon to the next level. 

Essential Accessories and Equipment for Hairdressers in 2025

Hairdressing is about having the right tools at your disposal and it goes without saying that the right setup can make all the difference to your work.

Whether it's a sturdy trolley to organise your cutting or colouring essentials, or powerful salon electricals to get the job done in no time at all, it's these things keep your salon running smoothly day to day.

Top Hair Salon Furniture

A great salon starts with great furniture. Your clients comfort is important, as is the aesthetics of your salon.

Over time, your salon furniture can get worn down with use. You don't want your salon space to start looking tatty and unloved, therefore, 2025 might be time to give your salon a refresh - even if that's just a lick of a paint or a bigger upgrade to your space. 

Here are some standout pieces every hairdresser should consider...

Adjustable Styling Chairs

Comfort is key for you and your clients, and modern styling chairs with hydraulic height adjustment and sleek looks are a must.

Why not take a look at the Crewe Orlando Cayman Chair - Black? 

The contemporary black colour adds a touch of elegance to any salon decor and it will go with pretty much any colour theme, so you can change up your aesthetic anytime you wish and your styling chairs will still look considered.

Or how about the Takara Belmont Cadilla to really make a statement? It has a low, sloping-shouldered backrest that almost looks like vintage car seats! Choose from 13 colours and three hydraulic bases to best suit your needs.

Check out our styling chairs, which are available at CoolBlades.

Rolling Trolleys

Stay organised with moveable trolleys that have multiple compartments for your scissors, combs, clips, and more. Over time your trolleys can start to look a little bit scruffy, especially if they've been bumped into things in the salon, or fallen foul of spillage's. 

If you're upgrading this year, why not try this affordable professional salon trolley? It arrives arrives fully assembled with soft push-in castors and 5 removable drawers.

Or the dynamic Crewe Orlando Duke Salon Trolley? This one comes with 6 drawers, 4 of which can be attached to the top, and there's a plastic flat top tray for accessories, too.

Wash Units

A stylish and comfortable backwash unit can transform a basic hair-washing experience into a spa-like moment for your clients to relax into.

If you're in the market for a new backwash unit, we recommend the...

Takara Belmont RS Prime which is a compact backwash unit ideal for smaller salons where space is at a premium. 

It comes with a tilting basin and a shower-head and you can choose from 13 upholstery colours as well as gloss white or gloss black pedestals.

Unmissable Hairdressing Equipment for 2025

Beyond furniture, your tools are what truly make your work shine. 

Overtime wear and tear can damage your kit, which could mean your tools are unreliable, or not as effective as they once were. 

Cordless Clippers

The future is wireless. Cordless clippers like the Andis Master Cordless offer freedom of movement and reliable power, meaning that they last between clients!

Infrared Hair Dryers

Reduce drying time and heat damage with an infrared hair dryer like the Parlux Digitalyon. The digital motor makes this the lightest and most powerful Parlux ever! Say goodbye to achey arms!

Professional straighteners: Opt for straighteners with titanium plates for smooth, shiny results and a frizz free result! Why not check out the HeadJog Futaria Straightener - Available In Black Or Twilight.

Must-Have Nail Salon Equipment for 2025

Nail salons require a whole different set of tools and furniture. Whether you're adding nail services to your salon or running a dedicated nail service that could do with a refresh, having the right setup is essential.
