Why Spa Towels Matter
Spa towels are essential for creating a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere in any spa or salon. High-quality cotton towels are often the go-to choice for their softness and absorbency, making them perfect for pampering clients. Many establishments order spa towels in bulk to ensure they always have a fresh supply on hand.
Hand Towels & Washcloths for Service Quality
Along with bath towels, bulk hand towels are also crucial for providing comfort during treatments and quick cleanups. A good selection of hand towels ensures guests can enjoy a consistent level of luxury, similar to what they might expect from hotel collection towels.
Cohesive, Premium Setups
Spa owners often invest in a hotel towel collection to maintain a premium feel across their facilities. Purchasing hand towels in bulk helps reduce costs while maintaining the high standards expected in a spa. Bulk towels for salon use also include items like washcloths, which are indispensable for facials and delicate skincare treatments.
These towels, when purchased in bulk from Direct Textile Store, ensure that salons and spas can provide the same luxurious experience to every client. Offering a combination of softness, durability, and absorbency, spa towels elevate the overall experience for both staff and clients.
Things to Consider While Buying Salon Towels
Choosing the right salon towels comes down to material, size, GSM (thickness), color strategy, and laundering needs. Use this quick guide to match towels to your services and workflow.
Material: Cotton vs. Microfiber
- Cotton – Classic, soft, and comfortable for hair, spa, and back-bar. Great for client-facing use and hot towel service.
- Microfiber – Quick-drying, lightweight, and highly absorbent. Ideal for fast turnarounds, cleanup, and high-frequency use.
Size & GSM (Thickness) Cheat Sheet
| Typical Size | Common Use | Suggested GSM |
|---|---|---|
| 12"x12" (washcloth) | Facials, skincare, quick cleanup | 200–400 (light/standard) |
| 16"x27" (hand/salon) | Color, cut, blow-dry, nail stations | 350–500 (everyday) |
| 20"x40"–22"x44" (bath) | Spa/back-bar, client wrap | 450–600+ (plusher) |

Color Strategy for Salons
- Dark/black towels help mask color stains from dyes and toners.
- Color-coding (e.g., dark for color services, white for facials) reduces mix-ups and keeps stations organized.
- When available, choose bleach-/color-safe options for heavy chemical use; always follow the care label.
Inventory Planning for Busy Shops
Plan towel counts around peak traffic and laundry cycles. A practical approach is to stock enough hand towels for a full day’s services per stylist or station, plus a buffer for overlaps and spa add-ons. Buying in bulk keeps per-towel costs predictable and ensures you never run short during rush hours.
Care & Laundering Best Practices
- Wash dark/colored towels separately the first few cycles to set color.
- Avoid fabric softeners (especially for microfiber); they reduce absorbency.
- Use the recommended temperature and detergent for your towel type; follow the care label.
- Tumble dry on low-to-medium heat; remove promptly to minimize lint and wrinkles.
- For microfiber, stick to low heat and no softeners to preserve performance.

What Size Are Salon Towels?
16 x 27 inches salon towels are extra absorbent and practical for quick drying, ample coverage, or comfortable lounging.
Do You Sell Spa Towels in Bulk?
Yes, we offer a wide range of spa towels in bulk in numerous sizes, colors, and fabric types.
Are dark towels better for hair color services?
Yes—black or other dark shades help conceal dye stains. Many salons use darker towels for color services and lighter towels for facials to keep stations organized.
Should I choose cotton or microfiber?
Cotton offers classic softness and client comfort for hair and spa treatments. Microfiber dries faster and is highly absorbent—ideal for quick turnarounds and daily cleanup. Many salons stock both.
How many towels should I keep per stylist or station?
Plan for a full day’s services per station and add a buffer for overlaps and spa add-ons. Exact counts vary by service mix and laundry frequency, but bulk purchasing ensures a consistent on-hand supply.
Do microfiber salon towels go in the dryer?
Yes—use low heat and avoid fabric softeners. Microfiber dries quickly, so shorter cycles usually suffice.
