If you want to open your own beauty salon or even if you would like to do some spa treatments at home, you can afford to buy beauty equipment at discounted prices.
Sites such as eBay have all sorts of beauty equipment on sale.
You can do an eBay search on beauty equipment, but you will have better luck if your are specific on your searches, so only search on facial steamer if that is what you are looking for.
You can often buy used beauty equipment at a fraction of the retail cost.
If you do a search on any Internet engine you will see the myriad of places that you can get used beauty equipment.
Again, you will have the most luck by trying the key word that you are specifically looking for such as massage table or pedicure bath.
Some companies specialize in re-selling used beauty equipment and they sterilize all of the equipment before re-sale.
Don't discount government auctions as a way to find used beauty equipment.
Many businesses fail and the property gets seized by the government as part of a foreclosure proceeding.
The items seized need to be sold at auction.
Since the government wants to reduce the storage of the assets it is warehousing, the property is sold at substantial discounts.
These auctions are held fairly regularly and proxy bids are allowed, but if you are the winning bidder, you will need to have arrangements made to get the merchandise to your home quickly.
The government considers the items sold and is not responsible for shipping the items to you.
Don't forget to ask you local beauty salon owner about their used equipment.
If you know that the salon is undergoing a makeover, approach the salon owner about possibly purchasing some used equipment.
They might be happy to make some money by selling their old, but still functioning beauty equipment to you.
It never hurts to ask.
