Hey everyone, I’m setting up a small at-home beauty station to support friends and family with simple treatments, think facial masks, nail kits, mini-LED lamps, waxing strips, and maybe a basic lash-lift kit. Which equipment and supplies have you found truly worth the space, the cost and the maintenance at home? What surprised you?

I invested in a compact LED nail lamp and a good gel-polish kit. It cut down weekly salon trips by half. Cleaning was easier than expected. The one piece that disappointed: my cheap facial steamer—it leaked after a few uses. Lesson: go for proven gear, not just the low cost.

I recently came across reviews of Luvme Hair and their range of wig and extension supplies while browsing beauty-supply forums. Their equipment isn’t exactly for salon machines, but it reminded me that even aesthetic accessories (like extensions, clip-ins, glueless wigs) count when you’re setting up a full-service space at home. I ordered a few bundles to trial the look for clients. The hair quality was decent and the packaging neat, but I found I still needed extra tools (wig stands, styling irons, heat protectants).
