The Power of Retail: Why Every Salon Needs to Sell Professional Products

If you’re only making money from services, you’re leaving a lot on the table.

Retailing salon and spa products is one of the smartest, easiest ways to increase your income—without working extra hours or booking more clients. In today’s competitive beauty market, retail is not optional—it’s essential.

At IHB Supplies, we help salons, spas, and beauty professionals in Nigeria boost profits and client satisfaction by stocking professional-grade products that are already trusted in the treatment room.

Explore Retail-Ready Salon Products »


Why You Should Be Retailing Salon Products

Here’s why every modern salon and spa should have a well-stocked retail shelf:

Boost Revenue Without More Clients
A simple product recommendation after a service can add thousands to your yearly revenue—without lifting an extra tool.

Increase Client Loyalty
When clients take home the same quality products you use during treatments, they see better results and keep coming back.

Position Yourself as an Expert
Clients trust your opinion. When you recommend products, they listen—and buy.

Build Brand Value
A strong retail offering builds your brand, showcases your professionalism, and makes your business look polished and complete.

Outperform Competitors
While others rely only on walk-in services, you’ll have an added income stream from repeat product sales.


What Should You Stock? Start with Essentials

Retailing doesn’t mean filling shelves with everything. Start with the right products, especially those used during treatments. At IHB Supplies, we recommend these top sellers:

For Skin & Face:

For Feet & Pedicure:

For Hands & Nails:

For Hair:

For Home Use & Gifting:

Pro Tip: Use treatment-sized products in your services and retail-sized versions for client purchase. It creates consistency and trust.


How to Sell Without Being “Salesy”

You don’t have to be a salesperson to move products. Just follow these simple strategies:

  1. Use What You Sell
    During treatments, explain what you’re using and why. Let the product speak for itself.
  2. Display Professionally
    Create a clean, eye-catching retail area near your front desk or waiting area.
  3. Train Your Staff
    Ensure your team knows the benefits of each product. Confident staff = higher sales.
  4. Bundle Services & Products
    Offer post-treatment kits, like a facial + serum + SPF package.
  5. Create Loyalty Rewards
    Offer points or small discounts for frequent purchases to encourage repeat buying.

IHB Supplies: Your Retail Partner

At IHB Supplies, we go beyond supplying products—we help you build your retail empire with:

  • Bulk supply for salons & spas
  • Custom labels & branding options
  • Staff training on product knowledge
  • Packaging options (50g, 500g, 1L, 5L, etc.)
  • Private label solutions for growing salons

Contact Us to stock our retail pro products at your spa or store »


How Retail Can Impact Your Bottom Line

Let’s say you see 10 clients a day, and only 3 of them buy a ₦5,000 product. That’s ₦15,000 per day from retail alone—or ₦300,000 extra per month!

And these numbers grow with consistency.


Conclusion: Turn Every Client Into a Long-Term Buyer

Retailing professional products is more than a side hustle—it’s a game-changer for your business. With the right strategy, products, and support, you can build a second income stream, improve client satisfaction, and stand out in Nigeria’s beauty market.

Let IHB Supplies help you stock smarter, sell better, and grow faster.
