How Salon Catalog Reviews Products

Yewande Ashby, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
This page explains how Salon Catalog works and how I evaluate the salon equipment I write about.

What this site does

Salon Catalog helps licensed cosmetologists, booth renters, and salon owners find and buy the right professional equipment — from first shears to full salon buildouts. With 28 years in the industry — on shop floors, behind the chair, and managing distribution — I curate what matters: durability, warranty, resale value, and real-world fit for your business. This is an editorial operation built on career experience, not marketing.

How we evaluate

  • We verify manufacturer specs and warranty terms.
  • We compare price against real-world longevity and parts availability.
  • We weigh ergonomics and adjustability for different body types.
  • We check for authorized-seller status to protect your investment.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you — it helps keep the lights on and the reviews honest.
