10 Perfect Gifts For Salon Owners

There are many opportunities to treat the stylist in your life with a gift. A salon owner works many hours a week and some even work seven days a week. Giving them a gift for all their hard work is a great gesture. Knowing what to get for a hairdresser, however, might be a little tricky sometimes. Like any gift-giving occasion, you need to know the person and what they like. Fortunately, you know your salon owner and have a good idea of what they enjoy doing. Here’s our list of a few gift ideas for the hairdressers and salon owners in your life for every present-buying occasion.

Salon Chair

An obvious choice for a salon owner might be a salon chair as they are the most important part of any salon. They will want to have comfortable and stylish options in the shop for the enjoyment of their customers. Your gift of a salon chair could help their salon furniture apart and help contribute to the uniqueness of their shop. With a host of options to choose from, this might be an option that you will need to discuss with them. You will want to make sure that the hairdresser chair fits in the salon.

Personalized Apron

A stylist without an apron is like a boat without paddles. It doesn't make any sense. Hairdressers need several aprons in their line of work. They need them to protect their clothes from hairs, chemicals such as hair dye, and simply from getting wet every time they stand at the wash station. A personalized apron can give them what they need and protect them in style. From simple name embroidery to funny slogans, you can pick something that reflects their personality and guarantee that they’ll wear it day after day.

Fun Insulated Travel Mug

It seems like many salon owners and hairdressers are always making coffee or tea and then never have time to drink it. An insulated travel mug could put an end to their days of endless cold coffee. The other benefit is that they can even take it to mobile appointments. There are a variety of mugs out there made from things like bamboo which is eco-friendly and retains heat well. You can also get it with a fun slogan or logo that reflects them and what they do.

Luxury Hand Lotion

Working with chemicals, regular shampooing, and cleaning up the shop each day can wreak havoc on a hairdresser’s hands. You could give your salon owner a little bit of luxury and help them prevent dry, cracked skin with the gift of luxury hand lotion. A deep moisturizing lotion that smells nice will be greatly appreciated.

Slogan Tote Bag

Working in a salon means you have a tone of stuff to schlep around every day. From combs and brushes to clips and new products you know they’re going to need something to carry it all in. A tote bag with a fun stylist-related slogan will help brighten their day as they carry around all of their tools. You can shop around online for a host of options and you can even design your own for a truly unique gift.

Stylish Watch

A stylish watch for a salon owner might be the perfect gift. As a stylist, they need to keep track of time in order to keep appointments, time color treatments, and keep track of hair dryer times. A more extravagant watch from A Lange Sohne might help a salon owner set themselves apart from the crowd. The elegance and class of one of these watches will show your appreciation for all that they do.

Salon Themed Wall Clock

Help your salon owners and their customers keep track of important timings with a unique wall clock to add to their salon decor. You can find a novelty clock with scissors and combs for hands and other salon items around it. Like the watch, this will also serve a practical use as they will make sure not to leave the dye on too long or run over their appointment times.

Salon Storage Solutions

A good hairdresser has a place for everything and everything in its place. The salon owner in your life will want to make sure that the styling stations in the shop area is neat and organized. From salon tower drawers to handyman-style tool belts, there are several options to make sure the combs, dyes, and clips are put away in a neat and tidy manner. This practical gift will be appreciated in a very busy salon.

Themed Jewelry

There is a multitude of options out there for hairdresser-inspired jewelry. There are so many that it could be hard to choose which gift to get. Remember, however, that your hairdresser and salon owner won’t want anything that could get in the way of them doing their job. Stay on the safe side and choose a necklace or pair of earrings that are stylist-themed to make sure they can wear their new jewelry without getting it stuck or needing to remove it to work.

Spa Day

Instead of a physical gift, why not treat the salon owner in your life to a day off. They are usually the ones pampering others in the chair, so why not let them be the one in the pampering chair? A spa day is a perfect way to give them a much-needed rest and pamper. Book a getaway for the weekend, or choose a day spa for a short-but-sweet treat.
