December is the busiest time in the salon. It’s also the season of giving, which can also be a source of anxiety; however, shopping doesn’t need to be stressful or expensive. The Sam Villa ArTeam has curated a list of the best gifts for stylists this year. Whether you want to treat yourself or a fellow industry professional, this list has some must-have items!
Top 15 Holiday Gifts for Hairstylists
- Foot Massager: After a long day standing behind the chair, it’s the perfect gift to pamper feet.
- Coffee: Whether it's a gift certificate to a local/favorite coffee shop or a bag of gourmet grounds, coffee is a go-to for any hair professional who needs an extra boost of caffeine to get through a long day.
- Blow Dryer: The end of the year may mean you or a friend needs to invest in new tools. A blow dryer is a must-have for any hair professional, whether for their own personal use or use in the salon.
- Framar Toning Tub: It keeps toning bowls stable and reachable. Stations stay cleaner and coloring is easier.
- Blending Shear: If your shears are getting dull at the end of a long year, consider a replacement!
- Meal Delivery Service: Hairstylists often make jokes about having a full book while only running on multiple cups of coffee. A gift card for a meal delivery service like Uber Eats, Doordash or Grubhub can make all the difference for a hair professional in need of a hot meal during a busy day.
- Body Creme: It's important to stay moisturized! Body lotion in your hairstylist's favorite scent is an easy choice.
- Paddle Brush: Blow dry and polish any hair type with ease and comfort by using a paddle brush.
- Monthly Subscription Services: There's so many options out there, depending on your hairstylist's interests. Cratejoy has a marketplace for all sorts of subscription services, so you can find the perfect choice. Your hairstylists will love looking forward to goodies each month!
- Salon Trolley Cart and Rolling Trays: These mobile storage units offer convenience during salon services, ensuring easy access to quickly needed tools and supplies during salon services. Your hairstylists are going to love having a tool that helps them stay organized during their services.
- Stainless Steel Water Bottle: Hairdressers need to hydrate, but often forget during services. There are countless water bottle options available that can help hairdressers measure their water intake. You can also get them stickers to decorate their water bottle.
- Comb Set with Case: Hair professionals always have a comb at their disposal for sectioning, backcombing, providing tension, holding hair, etc., which means they may need to be frequently replaced. A new comb set with carry case means your hairstylist can take their tools on the go wherever their profession leads them.
- Electric Blanket: There's nothing better than curling up with a warm, cozy electric blanket after a long day behind the chair!
- Slide-Cutting Shear: Experience softer, smoother results when slide cutting. Hair slips along the blades as it’s being cut, creating a soft edge and protecting the integrity of the hair. This is the perfect tool to invest in for all motion cutting techniques.
- Airbnb Gift Card: Give a stylist a break with a travel gift card for a relaxing holiday getaway or a special evening during a staycation.
