A good rolling cart for the salon is hard to find. There's a trick to selecting the trolley with enough space appliance holders but isn't so bulky that it tips with every turn. One solution for a lot of stylists is to simply get a service tray which provides a great portable work place for coloring, but it doesn't have quite the same sturdy functionality of a cabinet style trolley. So if you’re looking for a strong combination of storage, working space, and utility space for tools, here are a few trolleys you might like.
Taranto Rollabout Trolley
The Taranto is a tried and true beast of burden with tons of appliance holders and separate slots for foils and plastic wraps. It has removable trays inside so you can customize your working space, and it has lockable doors so you can keep everything safe. It's also pretty simple to put together. The biggest complaints people have had about it is that the locking doors and metal pieces at the bottom aren't exactly winning any durability contests. But so long as you don't throw it around a pro wrestling match, everything should hold just fine for your needs.
Vittoria Rollabout Trolley
Now if it's durability you want, the Vittoria is probably the way to go. Most of the pieces in the trolley are wooden, and there aren't a lot of moving parts. It also rates pretty high on the classy scale. I mean, looks are subjective, but this is a pretty elegant piece of equipment. It doesn't have as much utility space in the way of appliance holders but the removable trays and the pull-out slabs give you plenty of work space. It's also a bit pricier (strength and style make a high-value combination), so it's the kind of thing you want to make sure you really need before pulling the trigger.
Genoa Rollabout Trolley
The Genoa is a little different in design. It manages to fit a lot of appliance holders into a relatively small space with the hanging set of three on one side and the half-moon metal tray on the other side for color bowls and brushes. This is not the way to go if wide open working space is what you need, but if you need a solid, reliable piece of moving storage, this trolley is hard to improve on for the price.
Cosmo Rollabout Trolley
The Cosmo has a very similar design to the Taranto. The primary difference is the sectioning in the top. Where the Taranto is a flat open work space, the Cosmo is shaped to fit color bowls in one side, clips in another, and your long tools like combs and brushes in the last. In fact, it's generally the same price as the Taranto, so choosing between the two is really matter of preference and specialization.
Anzio Rollercart Trolley
If minimalist design is your thing, the Anzio is probably an answer to several problems. There are no bulky add ons, and the cabinet body is a little slimmer than most so it fits smoothly into your salon interior. There are three standard appliance holders in a tray that slides out near the top, and of course it has the removable trays inside the cabinet, but that's the extent of the bells and whistles. The rest is open space and a solid construction.
