5 Must-Have Tools for Hair Stylists

A hair stylist can have all of the skills in the world, but unless her tools are top-notch, she won’t be happy with the results. To avoid artistic frustration, consider adding these 5 tools to your beauty arsenal.

1. Turbo Power TwinTurbo 3800 Ionic & Ceramic Blow Dryer

While the name may be a mouthful, this hair dryer is worth every syllable. With its flexible heat settings, nozzles, and speeds, it’s a stylist’s dream. Plus it dries hair quickly without heat-damaging follicles—a win for your clients, too.

This flat iron is pretty darn smart. It automatically turns off and on, reduces heat between uses, and remembers your favorite heat settings.
