Tool Inventory System
Track every shear, clipper, and iron so maintenance, replacements, and audits are fast and stress-free.
Inventory essentials
- Tool name and type
- Purchase date and cost
- Serial number
- Warranty expiration
- Assigned stylist
Log everything in the maintenance sheet or your POS asset module.
Quick setup steps
- Empty one station at a time and scan/photograph each tool.
- Enter details into your maintenance log.
- Label tools (e.g., “Stylist A – Cutting 01”).
- Review monthly to update repairs or replacements.
Color-coded storage
Use colored tape or tags for categories: blue for cutting shears, green for texturizers, yellow for loaners. Makes audits quicker.
Annual audit tips
- Plan during a slow week.
- Assign two people: one to check tools, one to update the log.
- Compare against insurance coverage to ensure limits are current.
A tidy inventory saves time when tools go missing, warranties expire, or the insurer calls.
