How Salons Buy Joggers Wholesale
By The Velocity Wear Team
Joggers for a salon start at $22 a pair at the fifty-piece minimum, and the specification is decided by chemistry rather than by fashion. Bleach lifts colour permanently and tint stains, so black is the default for a reason. A loopback fabric in a dark colourway, washed hot and often, is the kit that still looks professional six months in.
Do joggers survive bleach and colour?
Nothing survives a direct bleach splash, which is the honest answer. What a salon can do is choose fabric and colour that make the inevitable marks less visible and easier to live with. Dark shades hide tint; black hides the most. Anything pale shows the first accident and never recovers. The wholesale joggers page lists the colourways, and the salons and barbers pages cover the full uniform picture.
Aprons do the real protective work, and they should. Branded joggers are the layer underneath, so specify them to be replaceable rather than precious: a straightforward garment ordered deep, refreshed on a cycle, and not treated as a one-off investment.
What should salon kit be made of?
Loopback, for a room that runs warm and a laundry routine that runs hot. The inner loops stay intact through repeated washing, the fabric dries faster, and it does not cling in a space full of dryers and steamers. Brushed fleece is the warmer, softer choice and suits a spa reception or a colder treatment room better than a busy salon floor.
Cuffed hems are worth specifying. A hem that sits clear of the floor stays out of the hair clippings, and it does not soak up whatever has been dropped near the basin. An open hem looks relaxed and picks up everything.
How do you order for a team of eight?
By pieces, not by people. The minimum is fifty pieces per design, which for a team of eight is three pairs each plus a reserve for new starters and for the pair that goes in the bin after a colour accident. Sizes mix freely inside the fifty, so nobody has to compromise on fit to make the number work.
- 1Count the team, multiply by three, and round the balance into your two most common sizes.
- 2Keep one design and one colourway, because a second colourway needing its own screens is a second minimum.
- 3Place the embroidery small and high, on the hip, away from where an apron tie sits.
- 4Hold the surplus in a cupboard as new-starter stock rather than reordering every time someone joins.
What else belongs on a salon's order?
Towels, almost always. A salon gets through them faster than any other item and they carry the brand at the basin, which is where clients actually look. They are quoted per job rather than at a fixed from-price, so raise them with the jogger enquiry and get one quote covering both — wholesale towels for salons and spas sets out what survives bleach on the towel side.
Tops complete the picture. Production is 10 to 15 working days from artwork approval, so putting the whole uniform through one approval means one delivery rather than three. Custom uniforms for salons and barbershops covers the full list of pieces a salon typically brands.
