Buy-Rite Beauty understands the needs of stylists throughout a busy salon day. Being efficient as a stylist is the top priority because it allows you to see more clients throughout the day. We offer a diverse collection of salon utility carts and trolleys that are designed to keep products organized and travel with the stylist. A utility cart or trolly is typically a small, lightweight shelf on wheels and can come with storage drawers and appliance holders. These differ from portable styling stations because they are usually much more compact with a smaller counterspace. Additionally, they are different from color trays because they offer more storage and versatility. We evaluated the entire collection based on crucial grading criteria to present the best utility carts and trolleys.
