How to Stock a Hair Salon


Decide on the services you plan on offering in your hair salon. Full service salons need products for the client's hair, manicures, pedicures and facials.
Make a list of the types of products for your salon. Categorize items into different categories, such as shampoo, conditioner, cosmetics, hair dryers and flat irons.
Designate a place for products. Scope out a closet and/or create a display if you plan to offer products for purchase to your clients. Budget for shelving units and storage solutions to maximum use of the space.
Shop around the find the best deals online and locally. Wholesalers typically offer discounts to hair salons for equipment and salon only supplies.
Consider offering products to sell to consumers. Wholesalers can assist with promoting and selling accessories and products designed for home use at a profit.
Consult with other hair salons in the area for advice on popular items to stock, finding wholesalers and tracking.
Use software to track your inventory, monitor supply and demand and budget for your purchases.

How to Clean Stock Aluminum Chevy Wheels


Remove the stock aluminum wheels to thoroughly clean them. Take off the center caps if the wheels have them. Use an adjustable nozzle and a thick garden hose to spray off loosely attached and superficial surface grit and dirt. Hose off all the brake dust and carbon fibers from the brake pads and the tiny metal shavings from the rotors.
Wash off the remaining dirt and grime with regular car soap or shampoo. Soak the wheels with water and apply the soap. Work it into a lather and gently scrub with a lambskin cleaning mitt to take off grime and road dirt. Scrub the front and backside of each wheel.
Spray the wheels with nonacidic, water-based clear coat-wheel cleaner to prevent damage to the acrylic or polyester clear coat applied to all stock Chevy aluminum wheels. Read the cleaning product's label to make sure it is designed for clear-coat wheels. Loosen stubborn dirt with the cleaner and a flexible-handled, soft-bristled wheel brush. Scrub the spoke edges and the concave nooks and crannies of the wheels.
Clean around the lug nuts and the recessed lug-nut holes with a lug-nut brush to remove residual dirt and brake dust. Turn the hose nozzle down to a gentle spray, and rinse the wheel thoroughly to remove all traces of the cleaner.
Dry the wheels with a clean terry cloth, chamois cloth or microfiber towel to prevent water spots. Avoid dropping the drying cloth and contaminating it with grit that will scratch the wheels' finish. Polish the wheels with a clear-coat-safe polish to make them shine.
