A list of gifts that will suit most beauty professionals

Beauty professionals work in different areas: manicures, makeup, brows, lashes, permanent makeup and much more. Despite the differences, there are things that almost every specialist will find useful:

  • Organizers and stands. Functional organizers and stable stands help keep the workstation tidy at all times. Handy storage accessories for brushes, tools, consumables, tips or jars are suitable both for studio-based professionals and for those who travel to clients. 

  • Makeup bags and cases. Are you also running out of space to store your beauty treasures? We are sure that an organizer case for storing cosmetics and brushes is simply essential for every beauty professional and will make a useful gift under the Christmas tree. Whether you choose a large one or something smaller already depends on your needs. But they are so beautiful and convenient that you want to take them all! The models are spacious, high-quality and reliable, and the wide range of colors will let you choose the one that matches your style.

  • Brush cases. Cases help brushes keep their shape, protect them from dust and moisture, and extend the life of expensive tools. This kind of gift will be appropriate not only for makeup artists: brow artists, permanent makeup artists and lashmakers also use many brushes in their daily work. 

  • Educational books and materials. For those who are constantly developing and honing their professional skills, educational materials are the best gift. These can be books on techniques, albums with examples of work, and training guides. Practical consumables will also work: artificial skin for practice, training pads, mannequins, templates for practicing brows or lashes.

Today, almost every professional runs social media, shoots videos and posts photos of their work. To make the content look professional, they will need high-quality accessories for shooting:

  • a special macro lens for a phone that gives sharp close-ups;

  • a ring light that provides even, bright lighting.

These gadgets will help the professional stand out among competitors and significantly improve their portfolio.

There are also many useful little things that are always needed at work:

  • sterilization kraft pouches;

  • phone holders;

  • makeup palettes;

  • reusable spatulas;

  • covers, replacement blocks for lamps;

  • accessories for organizing the workstation.

If none of the options is suitable for any reason, there is always a universal solution — a gift certificate. This is the best answer for those who are unsure what to give for a beauty salon opening or want to delight a specialist without risking getting something less than optimal. The professional will choose exactly what they need, and the gift will definitely be useful.

What to give a brow artist?

If you are wondering what to give a brow artist, it is worth choosing useful professional tools. A brow artist works with geometry, symmetry, textures and shades, so high-quality materials and accessories are always relevant. An approximate list:

  • OKO Easy Touch tweezers. You can never have too many tweezers – every brow artist will tell you that. Slanted, straight, pointed, with a soft grip, with a firmer grip – all kinds and shapes of tweezers will be useful at work. A soft, smooth squeeze and perfect ergonomics mean your hand won’t get tired while working. Thanks to hand sharpening and polished slanted edges, they securely grip and remove even the tiniest and fluffiest hairs. The tweezers are resistant to daily treatment and disinfection, so they will remain your reliable assistant for a long time.

  • ZOLA brow soap. What do clients like? Reliable brow hold that lasts all day in any conditions! And this kind of styling is provided by the brow fixing soap from ZOLA. This product allows you to fix even the toughest and most unruly hairs in the desired direction. Brow styling soap will be an excellent and, most importantly, useful gift for a brow artist or lamination specialist. ZOLA brow soap is very economical in use and will last for many, many sets of full, fluffy brows.

  • Nanowax brow styling wax by CTR. In this world, there are two types of girls – some love brow soap, and others adore brow wax. Brow styling wax Nanowax by CTR will make an excellent gift. The innovative formula allows you to brush the hairs into the desired direction, leaves no residue and ensures reliable, flexible hold for a long time. On top of that, the wax is ready to use straight away and has regenerating and moisturizing properties without any sticking or discomfort on the brows. Not just a gift – a dream!

  • Brush set. Brow artists use several types of brushes, and each has its own purpose. Thin synthetic brushes with firm bristles are suitable for drawing the brow architecture and applying dye or henna. Angled brushes help create sharp lines and a neat tail. Flat brushes are used to apply concealer to emphasize the shape and create a clean, precise outline. A universal set of quality brushes will be a great gift for any specialist.

  • Small compact wax heater. A wax heater is a very useful and convenient device for a brow-shaping professional. It quickly heats the wax to working temperature and maintains it at the right level, making the procedure comfortable and safe. Compact models do not take up much space on the table. Both beginners and experienced brow artists will appreciate such a gift.

  • Electronic caliper. Perfect proportions are crucial for precise brow architecture. An electronic caliper helps measure symmetry and accurately mark key points for building the shape. The device provides highly accurate measurements and speeds up the mapping process.

Both beginner and experienced brow artists will always need spoolie brushes for combing, mini palettes for mixing formulas, and so on. These are small but very in-demand consumables that brow specialists use every day.

What to give a lashmaker – an eyelash extension artist?

If you are choosing what to give an eyelash extension artist, it is important to focus on accessories and materials that will help improve the quality of work and speed up the process. Lashmakers value practical and tech-savvy gifts:

  • Original colored lashes. Colored lashes can be used to create accent, festive, artistic or fashion looks. Such an accessory will help the professional expand their portfolio and experiment with techniques. Shades can be bright and creative or delicate and eye-enhancing. It is a great way to inspire a professional to create new, creative looks.

  • Portable fan. A small portable fan is needed to speed up glue polymerization. The device is compact, lightweight and can be used at any workstation. 

  • Original mirrors. Specialized mirrors are needed to control quality during lash extensions or lamination. The large surface allows the professional to see the entire lash line, assess the curl and density, and spot any stickies or crossed lashes. Such a mirror helps correct the work in time and achieve a perfect result. 

  • Mini mixer for pigments. A compact mixer helps quickly and evenly mix pigments, dyes, henna and other cosmetic liquids. Vortex mixing prevents clumping and sedimentation, ensuring a perfectly homogeneous formula. The device takes up minimal space and is fixed to the table with a suction cup, which is very convenient, modern and functional.

Outside any TOP list, there will be a REAL UNICORN waiting for you under the Christmas tree on New Year’s Eve. This gift – a dream for any brow artist and lash lamination specialist – is a fully ready-to-use starter kit for lash lamination and long-lasting brow styling from OKO, and it even comes in a Unicorn format!

The OKO Unicorn set contains everything you need:

  • solutions for brow and lash lamination;

  • shampoo for brows and lashes;

  • brow paste;

  • tools and accessories for work and disposable consumables.

There simply can’t be a better gift! 

What can you give a nail technician?

When the question of what to give a nail technician comes up, it is important to remember that nail services are both creative and technically precise work. That’s why any tools, accessories and devices that simplify the daily process will be gratefully received.

What will truly bring not only benefits but also lots of positive emotions:

  • Professional extractor. One of the most valuable and practical gifts. It cleans the air from dust during filing, creates comfortable conditions for both the professional and the client, and keeps the workstation clean. Compact devices are easy to place on the table and have powerful suction, making the procedure safer and more hygienic.

  • Stand for drill bits. An inexpensive but very pleasant gift — a convenient stand for drill bits. This accessory allows you to store bits by size and purpose and also prevents damage. 

  • Skin and cuticle care kit. A great idea is a set that includes a gel cuticle remover, hand lotion and a “liquid blade” product for gently removing callused skin. This kit helps quickly and hygienically prepare the skin and nails for the procedure, restore smoothness and comfort to the hands, and also provides at-home care between salon visits.

  • Practice fingers and practice hand. If you are choosing a gift for a professional who is refining her skills, practice models will be an excellent tool. They allow you to work through complex techniques, train application speed and explore new nail trends. This kind of gift is ideal for students and professionals who regularly upgrade their qualifications.

  • A new shadow-free lamp. A quality shadow-free lamp provides even lighting, eliminates glare and shadows, and makes the work precise and comfortable. It is an indispensable tool for work and photography, especially for professionals who maintain Instagram pages and portfolios.

When looking for ideas on what to give your nail technician, you can consider the following tools and accessories:

  • silicone armrests;

  • swatch palettes for new shades;

  • professional nail art brushes;

  • a set of buffers and files.

What to give a permanent makeup and tattoo artist?

When choosing a gift for a permanent makeup and tattoo artist, it is worth focusing on equipment, materials and accessories that help increase precision, speed and the quality of healing. Permanent makeup is a technically complex procedure, which is why well-thought-out gifts are especially valued.

  • Materials for learning new techniques. For regular practice, the following are useful: a training mannequin head, a training latex mat for permanent makeup, 3D mats for practicing lips, brows and eyelids. Pigment holder. A small but very nice touch — a convenient holder for pigments. It keeps ink cups in place, prevents spills and helps the artist work more neatly.

  • Sterilizer for tattoo machines. A portable sterilizer provides high-quality disinfection of equipment after each procedure. This is a vital tool that ensures safe work with every client. 

  • Original ink caps or covers. Unusual and stylish caps help conveniently dose pigment, while protective covers extend the life of the machine by preventing dust and moisture from getting inside. These are useful consumables that run out quickly and are always needed in large quantities.

  • Tattoo aftercare cosmetics set. A relevant and useful gift will be a set of professional cosmetics for tattoo or permanent makeup aftercare. For example, take a look at the limited collection Vesper Tattoo Passion Fruit x Limited Max. The set includes products with fun fragrances, a unique formula and stylish packaging. The full-size products are sulfate-free, suitable for all skin types and protect a fresh tattoo at every stage of healing. Both beginners and experienced artists will appreciate this kind of gift.

Choosing a gift for a beauty professional is a pleasant task, because there are truly many options for every taste and budget. In the Beauty Hunter online store you will find professional, high-quality and on-trend products that will be a relevant, functional and genuinely valuable gift for both experienced and beginner beauty specialists.
