5 Must-Have Items For Your Stylist Kit

Every profession has a set of tools that help make their job a little easier. Stylists are no different. A stylist kit contains the items you need to properly execute a job; clips to make clothes look on point, steamer to take out wrinkles and have gowns looking red carpet ready, pasties and Fashion Tape to avoid wardrobe malfunctions and way more! There's a lot that goes into a proper styling kit, today I'm going to share with you the top 5 items I MUST for each job.

1.) CLIPS/CLAMPS

These are the secret weapon to a have a sample size dress looking like it was tailor-made to a model or celeb during a photoshoot. 

2.) SAFETY PINS

You already know that safety pins are good for minor fixes and super tight areas where a clip would be visible. Did you know they're available in a variety of other colors besides silver? You can find them in pink, black, and more in between. Keep black ones in your kit, for an unnoticeable fix.

3.) STEAMER

Crucial for having clothes looking neat and wrinkle-free. It's good to have a full size and handheld steamer on hand.

4.) TOP STICK

Also known as double stick tape. This lifesaver is perfect for keeping clothes in their place. Make sure you're using a brand specially made for clothing. Regular scotch tape will not cut it, trust me I've tried to make it work. It doesn't.

5.) ROLLING RACK

Last but not least, where else are you going to hang all those clothes?  If you're serious about making this your career, invest in a sturdy, industrial rack. You can find them at really affordable prices on sites like Amazon and Ebay.

THOSE ARE MY TOP 5, BUT OF COURSE THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT GOES INTO A FUNCTIONAL KIT. YOU CAN CHECK OUT MY FULL LIST HERE!
