TOOLS… with all the bells and whistles!

“A good tool improves the way you work. A great tool improves the way you think,” said Jeff Duntemann. This is especially true in hairdressing, where quality tools can even inspire!

When it comes to tools, there are several factors to take into consideration before investing in tools that can enable you to make that quantum leap in your own hairdressing results! And cost should be the least of your priorities. Power and heat regulation are often important in saving time. But then there other important factors, like materials, electronic and “smart” technologies, ionizing technology, ergonomics, and even color and style. For many trades – and hairdressing is not exception – investing in quality tools means investing in yourself!

Here is a round-up of tools – many with all the bells and whistles! – to help you decide. Building your toolbox is a serious business!

Brushes and combs – basic details

This year Denman has launched two really cool design collections to add an inkling of style to your work station. First, they picked up on the Gothic trends that are everywhere this year. Think Billi Eilish at the Met Gala and Doja Cat at the Grammys; both dark and edgy looks that totally channel Gothic Glamour. So, for all your salon clients embracing their inner goth there are three hot NEW Denman tools to nail their gothic hair goals.

Next up was the complete Wildcats Collection. Five fantastic tools with patterns that will pop in any salon kit.

Earlier this year, Cricket launched the Static Free Fast Flo Vent Brush Color Collection in 8 fun NEW colors. More recently, Cricket Company® announced the October 2023 launch of 2 new colors for the Static Free™ Fast Flo Mini Vent Brush: Let’s Go – Hot Pink and Let’s Go – Purple. This new collection merges an iconic classic hairbrush, on-trend colors, and it is fun-sized. Perfect for on-the-go detangling and styling!

Curls and glamorous waves

The T3 Curlwrap reflects the art of curling, perfected by science. The T3 AutoTwist Technology powers an automated, self-rotating barrel for effortless styling with flawless results. The AutoTwist Switch features dual navigation that puts you in control of curl direction. Then the SmartCurl Timer powers 2 timer settings (5 or 8 seconds) for consistent curls and waves with minimized heat exposure. Better still, Sensory Feedback guides your styling experience with gentle sounds and vibrations. The icing on the cake is the Ion Generator that minimizes static frizz, boosts shine, and locks in style. And just to keep it easy, the CeraGloss™ Ceramic Barrel glides effortlessly for
smooth, shiny results.

Top tools for clipping and cutting

With an upgraded motor on the clipper, DLC blades, and a sleek design, this highly anticipated Wahl 5 Star Cordless Barber Combo™. is set to optimize every barber’s workspace. Exceptional quality at an affordable price!

Renowned Wahl Professional Educator, Garland “G-Whiz” Fox, expresses enthusiasm for the upgraded Cordless Magic Clip and Detailer Li sold as a combo, as well as the space-saving single cord and the cost-effective price of the Cordless Barber Combo™.
