The Salon Owner’s Holiday Wishlist: 10 Things the Boss Really Wants
10 Things to Get the Salon Owner in Your Life This Holiday Season
Besides a break, there are plenty of things salon owners want this holiday season. Whether the boss is your boss, friend, significant other or loved one—here’s a list of 10 things they’re probably hoping are under the tree. (And while caffeine isn’t on this list, keep in mind a lifetime supply of coffee might also help them get through December.)
TO FURTHER EDUCATION:
1. On-Demand Education: BTC University Subscription
Salon owners can upgrade their employees’ careers in 2025 with discounted BTC-U subscriptions—$99 for one annual subscription or buy 2 or more at just $69 each! The BTC-U archive consists of over 250 on-demand courses across haircutting, coloring, barbering, styling and business education from the industry’s most coveted educators.
2. In-Person Education Event: The BTC Show Tickets
If the salon team is craving in-person connection, community, fun, entertainment and of course education, then consider securing tickets to the 2025 BTC Show in Dallas, Texas. The event is from Saturday, August 23 to Tuesday, August 26 and includes endless knowledge and inspiration from top industry brands and educators—and of course, the world famous #ONESHOT Hair Awards.

3. Hands-On Education: Moroccanoil® Academy
For a hands-on, in-depth educational course, the salon team can head to New York City to receive training from Moroccanoil®’s lead brand educators.

TO UPGRADE THE SALON:
4. New Scissors: ARC™ Scissors Gift Card
Give the gift of clean, precise cuts with an ARC™ Scissors gift card. Hairstylists can enjoy 30 percent off all scissors with code “ARC24” at checkout through the holiday season.
5. Salon Equipment: Minerva Barber Equipment & Supplies
Minerva Salon & Barber Equipment offers endless high-end, luxurious must-haves that any salon owner would want in their space. Our personal favorite gift idea? This adjustable, portable Gemini LED Lamp will help the entire salon upgrade their social media content.
6. Backbar Refresh: SALONORY™ Haul
The salon is busy and the backbar stock is waning—treat the salon owner in your life by emptying their digital SALONORY® cart to replenish that backbar. When doing so, they’ll be able to experience super fast shipping, exclusive discounts and promotions and access to products not available at other retailers.
7. Retail Products: SalonCentric™ Restock
If the holiday hair gift kits have flown off the shelves, the salon’s retail inventory could probably use a little refresh before December is over. Give the gift of more revenue by restocking the retail shelves with a trip to SalonCentric™.
8. New Salon Booking & Software Program: Booksy Booking App
Help the entire salon level up in 2025 with the gift of new booking software. Booksy will help organize and store client information, get booked, get paid and improve marketing efforts.
