Products, equipment and their use for setting and dressing hair - (1 of 4)
Every salon will have its own preferences relating to the range of products it carries and the tools and equipment to be used on its clients.
As a rough guide it is expected that salons will have sufficient materials to allow hairdressers to deal with different hair and scalp types and conditions.
For example, products for:
• greasy hair and/or scalp• dry hair and/or scalp • normal hair and/or scalp• dandruff affected scalp.
There will also be products designed to create different styling effects.
The salon is likely to provide the more expensive equipment such as hood dryers and most salons are equipped with hand held hair dryers.
It is, however, expected that hairdressers provide their own setting tools, eg, combs, brushes.
ProductsThere is a huge choice in the ranges of products that are available for use when setting hair.
Your own salon may have a full range of products from a particular manufacturer. These products may be different to the products used by the salon down the road, but often have similar features and benefits.
The most frequently used setting products are:
• Lotions• Mousse• Gel• Serums• Creams• Sprays• Wax

Handout GH11.4.1Products, equipment and their use for setting and dressing hair - (2 of 4)
Are the products you use in the salon also available as retail products?
What is the benefit of this for the client?
While salons may use products from different manufacturers, all the products will generally do a similar job.
Tools for setting and dressing hair
These should include:
• a range of combs and brushes designed to achieve different effects
The choice of tool often depends on:
• The length of hair• The type of hair• The texture of hair• The density of hair• The amount of volume and movement
required
In addition……
• Your own personal preference
You may have to provide your own tools when working in the salon, or your salon owner may provide them for you.
Remember: All tools must be
cleaned and sterilised/disinfected before using them on a client.
