Short List: Tools and Supplies

Оглавление

There’s a good reason why styling stations include several drawers. Haircutting requires some tools and supplies that you need, and a few more that you just want to have around. Table 2-1 lists the bare minimum you should have on hand before having your spouse, your little cuties, or your friends sit in your chair.

In case you’re wondering, some of my extra goodies that aren’t on this list: hand sanitizer, nitrile gloves, scissor oil and a microfiber cloth, breath mints, hand lotion, hand mirror, and an emergency protein bar for when lunch has been scratched in favor of accommodating a friend or family member.

Some of the best haircutting towels are waiting for you at the back of your bathroom cupboard. You know the ones: too good to call rags but too worn to hang out in the open. The profile of a perfect home haircutting towel is one that is older, thinner, and lies flat around the neck and shoulders.
