About Cuticle Oil

Cuticle oil

Cuticle oil sits in an unusual position in a salon order: it is used at the end of almost every service, it is one of the easiest items to sell as retail, and it runs out faster than anything on the colour wall. That combination means it belongs on a standing reorder rather than being added when someone notices the bottle is empty.

Formats differ in how they are applied. Pens and brush-on bottles are the practical choice at the station because they meter the amount; larger bottles are cheaper per unit and suit back-bar refilling. Many salons keep both — one format for use, one for sale.

Related treatment products sit in spa care and lotions, and the wider manicure category is manicure supplies.

Follow the manufacturer's directions for any treatment product, and send any client reporting a reaction to a doctor.

Scented and unscented both have a place. Scent helps retail sales because it makes the product memorable, but a strong fragrance is a problem for clients who react to it, so most salons keep at least one neutral option on the station.

Bulk and refill formats are stocked in scented cuticle oil and essential oils, which are cheaper per unit for back-bar use.

Cuticle Oil FAQ

Pen or bottle: which cuticle oil format is best?

Pens and brush-on bottles are practical at the station because they control how much is used. Larger bottles cost less per use and suit refilling. Many salons keep one format for services and one for retail.

Should salons sell cuticle oil to clients?

Cuticle oil is one of the easiest retail add-ons: it is used at the end of almost every service and clients can keep up the results at home.

Scented or unscented cuticle oil?

Both have a place. Scented oils tend to sell better as retail, while unscented is a safe choice for clients with sensitive skin.

How often should cuticle oil be applied?

Daily use keeps cuticles soft and helps prevent hangnails. Follow the directions on each product.
