Shopping on the Internet should and can be a great experience.
Name brand items, books, gifts, electronics and more through major established on line retailers in most cases saves money and time all done in the privacy of your home.
Many things sold on line may not be such a great experience. Chances you would not buy kitchen cabinets and appliances for your home on the Internet. You probably want to see them in person so you can open cabinet doors, feel the drawers open and close. You want to see the actual color and sizes as well the overall quality.
For a hair salon why would you buy furniture from a website? Pricing and “package deals” all seem very reasonable, some of the Internet salon equipment even looks like the same furniture many salon furniture dealers sell.
Budget is always an issue. In many cases the Internet has a great appeal to soon to be salon owners. How ever when you compare what your beauty distributor sells and warranties, it is not fair to compare a $399 – $899 hydraulic styling chair to a $159.00 import from China. Quite frankly there is no comparison.
Doing business with a full service professional beauty supplier like us removes all doubt. On top of that we offer floor planning and layouts. Everything we sell is quality with warranties and backed by our reputation. Service is available long after the sale. It is part of the business relationship we establish with our customers.
Buying salon furniture causes many emotions to stir. What if you buy it on line and it is not what you want? Say you can even return it, the time to repack, make arrangements to ship back to where ever it came from, then take your credit and repurchase something else they offer for maybe a few dollars more. Now you have to wait for the replacement furniture to arrive, meanwhile you are paying rent. Let’s say one more month to the landlord with no income. You also lost one month’s income because you had to put off your opening date. You still have a month’s worth of utilities and hopefully your staff and client’s understand this all to common situation. To top it all off you cannot get a State inspection without your chairs. So now you could be delayed 2 months.
Purchase salon furnishings through reputable full service distributors.
Full service companies like Schoeneman Beauty Supply has to make certain the equipment meets your expectations and arrives in a timely manner.
