Frequently asked questions about
What is a pedicure cart and why do salons use them?
A pedicure cart is a mobile storage unit designed to keep nail technicians organized and efficient during pedicure services. These carts hold essential tools, polishes, lotions, implements, and accessories within arm’s reach—reducing service time and improving workflow. Brands like J&A, Pibbs, Continuum, and Buy-Rite offer pedicure carts in various styles, materials, and configurations to match any salon setup.
What types of pedicure carts are available?
Pedicure carts come in a variety of materials and designs to fit different salon needs, including:
- Metal pedicure carts with locking wheels for durability and mobility
- Hard-plastic utility carts that are lightweight, sturdy, and easy to clean
- Laminate-based carts available in 20+ color options for a custom salon aesthetic
- Glass-top pedicure carts such as the popular Buy-Rite model with integrated bottle slots
Each type offers different strengths—from superior durability to premium appearance to lightweight convenience.
What features should I look for in a pedicure cart?
Most professional pedicure carts include several features that enhance technician efficiency, such as:
- Ample storage drawers for tools, polishes, and accessories
- Open shelves or trays for easy access
- Locking casters to keep the cart steady during services
- Chemical-resistant surfaces for durability
- Ergonomic height for comfortable use while seated
- Specialized bottle holders or slots, like those on the glass-top Pedi Cart
Choosing a cart with the right combination of mobility and organization can significantly improve your service flow.
How do pedicure carts improve efficiency in the nail salon?
Pedicure carts help streamline services by ensuring that everything a technician needs is within reach. This reduces:
- Walking back and forth for supplies
- Interruptions during services
- Time spent searching for tools
With organized drawers and easy-access countertops, technicians can maintain a fast, smooth workflow—improving client experience and boosting salon productivity.
Are pedicure carts easy to move and position?
Yes. Most pedicure carts from J&A, Pibbs, Continuum, and Buy-Rite include smooth-rolling casters, many with locking wheels for stability. These wheels allow technicians to roll the cart next to the pedicure chair, reposition it as needed, and easily move it out of the way for cleaning. Despite their mobility, the locking casters ensure the cart stays firmly in place during use.
Do pedicure carts match other salon furniture?
Absolutely. Many laminate pedicure carts are available in a wide range of color options—often 20 or more finishes—allowing salons to coordinate them with their pedicure chairs, manicure tables, and technician stools. Brands like J&A, Pibbs, Continuum, and Buy-Rite offer carts designed to complement their broader furniture collections, creating a cohesive and professional look throughout the salon.
