Buy-Rite Beauty offers a complete collection of diverse salon shampoo cabinetry to help stylists, colorists, and barbers stay organized throughout the busy salon day. Shampoo cabinetry is typically a large cabinet with storage specifically for color shampoo products and towels. It may have a bottle well, countertop space, and additional storage for a more streamlined workspace. Shampoo cabinetry is essential for salons that focus on shampoo services and need a way to keep their products organized. It is different from a color bar because it does not have specific color storage or sinks. We evaluated the entire collection based on critical grading criteria to present the top-ranked picks for 2025.
