Get staff input: Ask your estheticians which cart features and accessories matter most in their work day
Invest in quality: You’ll replace your storage equipment less often, saving money in the long run
Coordinate with decor: Choose a spa cart that complements your spa aesthetic to maintain a professional appearance
Investigate the details: Learn about assembly, modifications, materials, and what customer reviews say
