Fortunately, there are several ways to create an amazing salon experience right in your own home. Keep reading to learn which items can help you achieve salon-quality results.

Setting up your home salon

Before you start shopping for the right personal care products for your home salon, reach out to your stylist for their recommendations.

Whether you want to blowout your hair or straighten it, there are a variety of professional quality hair styling tools available on the market today. For sleek DIY hair blowouts, any expert will tell you that a powerful hair dryer is a must. With different settings for unique hair types, you can tame unruly hair with ease. Besides a traditional hair dryer, there are also blow dryer brushes that combine two hair care devices in one. These are sometimes preferred for people who find it difficult to hold a hair dryer and a brush at the same time.

If you have straight hair and you want to add some bounce to your tresses, a curling iron can create well-placed curls. Depending on the exact shape and size of curls you want, there are different sizes of curling iron barrels to choose from. Another option that can create looser curls is a flat iron. One benefit of this tool when compared to a regular curling iron is that you can also use a flat iron to straighten your hair.

Manicure and pedicure tools

Besides having your hair coifed by a professional stylist, not much else compares to having your nails pampered at the beauty salon. Thankfully, you can afford the same treatment with a pedicure and manicure at home. Start your home pedicure by soaking your feet in a soothing foot spa to soften callouses. For the ultimate sense of luxury, sitting in a massage chair while you do this will help you forget all your stresses for a moment.
