When it comes to purchasing towels for your salon or spa there are an overwhelming number of brands and types of towels available. How do you know which ones are best for your business? Our last post offered some good insight for getting started and we continue the discussion in this post. Now, let’s review the basics of picking the right towel. For the best commercial coin operated laundry equipment SC has to offer, call T & L!
- First, look at the construction of the towel. Most of the beauty supply manufacturers have a huge offering of towel qualities to meet all budgets. As a spa or salon owner, you will want to consider the pros and cons of all the towels and carefully consider the value of investing in a higher cost towel. You will find that the more expensive towels will likely have better construction and be made with higher quality materials. Towels that have good stitching, double-turned edges, and tighter hemming will last longer, even after repeated cycles in the washer and dryer.
- Look for the best quality towel your budget will allow and order the proper amount. Typically you can order towels in any quantity. Keep in mind that once you find a towel you like you may save money by checking online sites. These sites often offer bulk discounts that can save you money. Your cost per towel may be lower if you are able to order by the dozen or an even larger quantity. You can also bargain with the beauty suppliers for additional discounts. These are often offered to licensed salon professionals so be sure to ask.
- Pick the right sizes. The sizes you need will vary depending on the services you provide. You do not want way more than you need but you do want the right sizes and enough to keep laundering to a minimum.
Some other things to pay attention to as you shop:
- The absorbency of the towel is really important. The number loops in the are what make it more or less absorbent. A towel made of linen has more of these more loops per square inch. They also have higher absorbency and increased durability. This also makes for a very expensive towel. You may want to stick to a good quality towel made of cotton instead. Most towels of this type are very absorbent and durable and can hold up to a lot of use.
- Towels should be color safe as well. This means they will not only be durable but will look great for many years. A good quality color safe towel can be washed in hot water and bleached safely.
- There also some good quality disposable paper towels on the market today. These are an alternative to cloth towels and can be used and thrown away.
