Which category includes products that clients purchase from the salon?

• A. Cartridges
• B. Salon Policies
• C. Consumption Supplies
• D. Retail Supplies

Answer: (D)

Retail supplies are the items clients can buy to take home after a salon visit, supporting their ongoing skincare routine. These are marketed and displayed for client purchase, such as cleansers, moisturizers, serums, masks, sunscreen, and sometimes home-care tools. They’re distinct from equipment parts or disposables used during a service.

Cartridges are parts used with specific devices during treatments, not typically sold as standalone client products. Consumption supplies are items consumed during a service and discarded afterward (cotton, wipes, gloves), not sold for at-home use. Salon policies cover how the business operates and don’t refer to products.
