Store your cotton swabs in this elegant countertop jar

H19926 cotton swab holder

Ensure your spa looks refined down to the last detail by storing your cotton swabs in this translucent cotton swab box. It's made from plastic, which means it's tough, and the open bottom design makes it easy for someone to help themselves to a cotton swab or two.

A new visitor enters Susan’s spa’s reception and glimpses around suspiciously, trying to form a picture of her place.

Susan is watching her intently and can almost see tension flow from the visitor as a satisfied smile edges into the corner of the visitor’s mouth.

She’s here for a facial, so Susan guides her into her spa’s main treatment room and helps her prepare for the procedure.

The more questions Susan asks her, the more at ease the visitor becomes, the more she opens up and the more comfortable she gets.

Susan’s in the process of making a lifelong client.

Then something strange happens.

The visitor starts glancing at her watch intermittently. Then she starts umming and ahhing, glancing around like a trapped rabbit, looking for a way to escape.

The procedure turns into a disaster because the client cannot stop frowning and is as stiff as a plank.

A week later Susan notices a one star rating on Yelp posted by an anonymous Yelper. Then another one star rating on Google Business! The description left by the reviewer simply states that Susan’s spa is “not refined”.

Susan was convinced that, because she invested in a superior spa chair, as well as a hot towel cabinet and other top quality spa equipment, anyone walking into her spa would immediately “feel” the professionalism and be convinced that this is the only spa worth visiting.

What Susan did not keep in mind was that some people want to see professionalism ooze out of every single item inside the spa, including containers.

That’s why Susan should have stocked her cotton swabs, which were still inside the original Q-Tip box on a table, inside this lovely little translucent box.

It’s a simple design and easy to use.

To stock the box with cotton swabs, simply remove the lid, which has a knob for easier control, pour in your cotton swabs and place the lid back on.

And if a client or staff member needs a cotton swab they simply take one or two from the opening at the bottom of the container into which the cotton swabs cascade.

The cotton swab holder is made from plastic, which means it should be able to handle a knock, even if it’s dropped.

You don’t have to use it for storing cotton swabs only, though. The size (3.54 inches x 3.35 inches x 2.76 inches) makes it ideal for storing all sorts of small items your clients or staff need easy access to.
