Opening a nail shop is a business for many people. So what hot nail products do we have to prepare in the early stages without tuning unnecessary inventory?
Some people will say to look more at the hot products on the peer online shops; this is incomplete. There are a lot of online shops that do package shipping, so the main focus is on small, lightweight products. There are many essential products or hot products in offline nail salons that are not sold online due to their large size and low profitability. Here we’ll take a look at the products that are essential for wholesale nail salons and give you some references for nail wholesalers and retailers—mainly divided into the following seven categories.
- Consumable nail products
- Nail art tools
- Nail Tips and nail forms
- Nail brush
- Storage and sterilization products
- Nail polish, crystal powder and nail polish
- Nail art decorations such as rhinestones, glitter, alloy, resin, etc.
We will now start to analyze the basic features of each category and what products are required in each category.

Consumable nail products are products that are often used nail products by nail technicians or individuals and are basically non-reusable and easily consumed. These products are usually sold by the packet or bag, 50 to a packet, 100 strips to a bag or the like. Nail wholesale vendors are generally purchased in larger quantities at once and more frequently. So these are the products that are essential for new nail salons and need to be replenished regularly. Here are 5 products.

1.1 Nail file and buffer
Nail files are used for grinding down long or broken nails whereas nail buffers are best designed for polishing the surface of your nails and cuticles. Nail buffers are more commonly used over the flat front of the nail rather than to trim down the point.
The Nail files are usually made of paper + plastic sheet + sand strip, the middle paper part can also be replaced by wood. However, The most purchased nail wholesalers are still the nail file with cardboard in the middle. Generally, there are different numbers on the front and back indicating the coarseness of the grit, the larger the number, the smaller the grit and the gentler the friction. The usual mesh numbers are 80#/100#/120#/180#/240# etc. Common shapes are generally diamond, half-moon, round, curved, square and so on. One of the main reasons for the good or bad of a sanding strip is the quality of the sand, the quality of the sandpaper is mainly ceramic sand, pockmarked sand, mud yellow sand, grey and white sand and Chinese high-end sandpaper, Chinese mid-range sand and so on, of which imported grey and white sand strips are the best selling products.
A good file is one that can be used repeatedly and is basically waterproof. Because of the different levels of demand from our customers, we can have 3-5 different quality and price nail files to meet the needs of different customers. At a later stage, we will make our own customised strips when we see which ones are more popular with our customers.
