Running a successful nail salon requires more than just expertise in nail care—it demands the right tools and products to ensure that your services are both professional and safe for your clients. If you’re opening a new nail salon or looking to restock your supplies, here’s a guide to some of the most important products you need to keep your clients coming back for more.
1. Acetone, Alcohol, and Polish Thinner: The Basics of Nail Care
No nail salon can function without these essentials. They’re crucial for a range of tasks, from nail prep to cleaning up mistakes.
Acetone: A must-have for removing nail polish and artificial nails. Acetone is highly effective at breaking down nail products without damaging the natural nail. Always choose a high-quality, salon-grade acetone that doesn’t overly dry out the skin around the nails.
Alcohol: Use Alcohol to sanitize surfaces, tools, and hands before and after each client. It’s also perfect for cleaning off oils or debris on the nail surface before applying polish or other treatments, ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.
Polish Thinner: Nail polish tends to thicken over time, which can result in streaky applications. Polish thinner helps to keep your bottles fluid and easy to use, extending the life of your polish and ensuring a smooth, even coat every time.
2. Nourishing and Pampering Products
Nail care isn’t just about applying polish; it’s about providing a full experience that nurtures and pampers your clients. These products help keep nails and skin soft, healthy, and hydrated.
Lotion: After each treatment, clients will appreciate a soothing, moisturizing lotion to leave their hands feeling soft and nourished. Our La Palm Massage Lotion Mango made from pure oils and natural ingredients from Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, along with a tropical scent will satisfy your clients.
Cuticle Softener: For a flawless manicure or pedicure, properly softened cuticles are key. La Palm Cuticle Softener - Peach and Aloe Vera help gently loosen the skin around the nail, making it easier to push back or trim.
Cuticle Oil: After a manicure or pedicure, a few drops of nourishing cuticle oil can work wonders in maintaining healthy nails and skin. La Palm Cuticle Oil's function is to keep the nail bed hydrated, preventing cracking and dryness, and it’s especially essential for clients with frequent hand washing or those using harsh hand sanitisers.
Pedi Scrub: La Palm Jojoba Pedi Scrub 1 Gallon, coming with Orange Tangerine Zest and Honey Pearl, plays as a foot buffer to remove the dead skin and callus on feet. More effective with pumice stone or loofah.

3. Salon Hygiene Products
Hygiene is one of the most important aspects of any nail salon, and it’s vital to ensure the safety of both your clients and your staff.
Gloves: Nail technicians should always wear gloves during certain procedures, especially when handling acetone or cleaning tools. Gloves not only protect your skin but also create a barrier between you and the chemicals you work with, ensuring safety.
Spa Bath Cleaner: For hygiene and cleanliness, regularly disinfecting foot spa baths is non-negotiable. Use Pine D Super - Spa bath cleaning to eliminate germs, bacteria, and fungi that can breed in warm, wet environments.
Clinique Sanitiser: A high-tech formula especially suited for cleaning applications where quick streak & smear-free cleaning is required. Great for cleaning Buffers and Files. Place Clinique Sanitiser into a spray bottle for application. Shake the bottle well and hold it upright 15-20cm from the surface to be cleaned. Spray on, then allow the surface to air dry.
Antiseptic Disinfectant Spray: Antiseptic Disinfectant Spray bottle is available for smaller size
Barbicide Disinfectant: Barbicide is the gold standard when it comes to sanitizing non-porous tools like nail clippers, files, and buffers. It’s a hospital-grade disinfectant that kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Soak your tools in Barbicide between clients to maintain a high standard of hygiene and reduce the risk of cross-contamination.
