When it comes to salon consumables, couch roll is one of the most frequently used and frequently replaced items. It’s easy to fall into the trap of buying the cheapest option online, especially when you’re watching margins. But as many salon professionals have learned the hard way, the cheapest couch roll often ends up being the most expensive.
So how do you save money on couch rolls without sacrificing the quality your clients expect?
Here are five smart, trade-tested ways to cut costs while keeping standards high.
Focus on Cost Per Use—Not Cost Per Roll
It’s tempting to compare prices based on the label—€2.99 vs €3.99 sounds like an easy decision. But cheaper rolls are often shorter, thinner, and lower gsm, meaning they run out faster and tear more easily. That means more replacements, more waste, and more client frustration.
Instead, look at cost per use. A higher-quality roll may last longer, resist tearing, and reduce the need for double-layering—saving you time and money in the long run.
Tip: Compare roll lengths and gsm before buying. Capital couch rolls are designed to balance durability and value.
Buy in Bulk and Save on Each Roll
Bulk buying is a classic money-saving strategy and for good reason. Capital offers multi-pack and value pack options that lower the cost per roll while keeping quality consistent.
This is especially smart if you’re a high-turnover salon or clinic where couch rolls are used daily across multiple treatment rooms.
One way to avoid waste is to use the correct width and gsm for your treatment couch. If the roll is too wide, you’ll trim excess; too narrow, and you’ll double up. Either way = waste.
At Capital, we stock a range of widths to suit different couch sizes, helping you reduce unnecessary overuse and get more from every roll.
Popular Sizes:
10”
20”
23”
Buy from a Trade Supplier You Can Trust
Buying couch rolls from marketplaces like Amazon or TikTok Shop might seem cheap—until you receive a roll that’s half the length, thin as paper, or turns up late. When you buy from a professional trade supplier like Capital, you get:
Transparent specifications
Fast, reliable delivery
Ongoing stock availability
Trade-only pricing
No more guesswork, reorders, or dealing with poor packaging and no returns.
Take Advantage of Trade Offers and Loyalty Perks
