Choose the right hairdressing supplies for cutting, colouring and styling
A fringe tidy-up, a fresh colour or a smoother finish starts with the right tools. Shop Fashiongirl's hairdressing supplies to build a home hairdressing kit around the jobs you actually do. Start with cutting or colouring essentials, then add a cape, spray bottle and brush to make preparation and clean-up easier.
Hairdressing scissors or thinning scissors?
Hairdressing scissors are the choice for trimming length and creating clean edges. Thinning scissors, also called thinning shears, remove a portion of the hair with each cut to reduce bulk and soften the finish. Choose cutting scissors for a straightforward trim, and thinning scissors when your aim is texture rather than taking off length.
If you're building your kit from scratch, a hairdressing scissors set with a cape gives you cutting tools and clothing protection in one purchase. For small touch-ups, start cautiously and work in sections so you can keep track of what you've trimmed.
Hair colouring kits and highlighting caps
For at-home colour application, look for hair colouring tools such as mixing bowls and dye brushes. Compare each kit's contents with your planned colour routine rather than choosing by piece count alone. The range includes a 23-piece UNIQ Professional Hair Coloring Kit.
For cap highlights, choose a highlighting cap or a cap set. The UNIQ Highlight Cap Set includes a needle and dye brush, while silicone highlighting caps are another option in the range. Follow your chosen hair colour's instructions for preparation, application and testing.
Choose a cape with the coverage you need
A hairdressing cape helps keep loose cut hairs, splashes and colour away from your clothes. Check the dimensions and intended wearer before buying. For example, the black patterned nylon cape measures 148 x 120 cm and is suitable for adults and children. A cutting collar is another option for protecting skin and clothing during a trim.
Add tools for preparation and finishing
A spray bottle helps you dampen hair evenly while cutting, with a 300 ml mist spray option available. Choose a detangling brush for working through knots before sectioning, or a vented styling brush for styling. A hairbrush cleaning tool makes it easier to remove trapped hair, while a scissors holder keeps your cutting tools organised.
What do I need for a basic home haircut?
Start with hairdressing scissors, a comb for sectioning, a spray bottle and a cape. Add thinning scissors only if you want to reduce bulk or soften edges, rather than simply trim the length.
Should I buy a hairdressing set or separate tools?
A set is a practical starting point when you need several essentials. Separate tools make sense if you're replacing one item or adding something for a specific task, such as highlighting. Check the contents of each set so it suits your routine.
