Salon Consumables and Colour-Bar Tools, 52 Weeks a Year

Must52 is Beauté Star's own house line of salon supplies, and the name is a promise about availability rather than a formula: essential tools and accessories for stylists and self-stylists, 52 weeks a year. It is the unglamorous half of a colour service — foils, cream developer, tint brushes, carbon-fibre combs, capes, gloves, mixing bowls, clips and back-bar dispensing — sold in the formats a working salon actually reorders.

The range is built around repeatability rather than novelty. The four aluminum rolls are the clearest illustration: smooth or embossed, heavy or thin gauge, one pound each, so you tear the length the section needs instead of stocking three pre-cut sheet sizes. The Carbonik combs are moulded from a 20% carbon-fibre compound that stays rigid under clipper pressure, survives bleach and Barbicide, and does not charge up and fill a dry cut with flyaways. The Peroxide Cream Developer is sold on pH control rather than raw lift, because an oxidant that fires hard at the root and stalls at the ends is what produces hot roots on a formula that was mixed correctly.

ProHair.ca is an authorized Canadian retailer for the Must52 range, priced in CAD and shipped from Canada. Free shipping on orders over $120. If you are stocking a colour bar for the first time, the four buying guides linked from this page cover foils, developers, hand tools and the back bar in order.

Aluminum Foil Rolls
Foiling

Aluminum Foil Rolls

Four one-pound rolls covering both decisions a colourist makes: embossed or smooth face, heavy 90 m or thin 98 m gauge. Embossed grips the hair and holds liquid in the weave; smooth lies flat for slicing. $17.27–$22.60.

Peroxide Cream Developer
Colour

Peroxide Cream Developer

A pH-controlled cream oxidant in 10, 20 and 40 volume on one litre page. The cream base stays on the section instead of running off it, and the controlled pH keeps oxidation steady from the first foil to the last. $14.60 per litre.

Carbonik Combs
Cutting & Sectioning

Carbonik Combs

A 20% carbon-fibre compound that stays rigid under clipper pressure, resists bleach, developer and heat, and does not build static. The long cutting comb for barbering, the steel-pin tail comb for weaves and partings. $13.27 each.

Colour Applicator Brushes
Application

Colour Applicator Brushes

One angled tint brush in two handle colours, on purpose. The angled bristle edge lays a clean regrowth line without flooding the scalp; the second colour is how a lightener and a toner stop sharing a brush. $8.42 each.

Back-Bar Dispensing
Back Bar

Back-Bar Dispensing

The reusable litre pump that stops a back bar losing product to overpour: standard litre neck, dip tube long enough to reach the bottom of the bottle, one press per dose, rinses clean and moves to the next bottle. $3.92.

Drying & Curl Finishing

A collapsible silicone diffuser that slips onto most dryers, spreads the airflow instead of concentrating it, and retracts flat for a kit bag. Heat-insulating silicone rated to 230°C. $26.60.

Which Must52 Products Are Right for You?

Foiling & Highlighting

Four one-pound aluminum rolls — embossed or smooth, heavy 90 m or thin 98 m. Embossed for weaves that slip; smooth for slices; heavy gauge for long, dense hair; thin for length and the lowest cost per metre.

Developers & Oxidants

pH-controlled cream developer in 10, 20 and 40 volume. Steady oxidation across a whole head rather than a spike at the root, in a cream base that stays where it is placed.

Colour Mixing & Application

Angled tint brushes in two colour-coded handles, plus mixing bowls and a tube key. The second handle colour is the cheapest defence against cross-contaminating a lightener and a toner.

Cutting & Sectioning

Carbonik combs in a 20% carbon-fibre compound — rigid under clipper pressure, antistatic on dry hair, and unaffected by bleach or disinfectant. Steel-pin tail for weaving, long body for clipper-over-comb.

Back Bar & Dispensing

Litre and gallon pumps that turn a two-hand pour at the basin into one repeatable press. Reusable, rinsable, and sized to the standard neck so they move from bottle to bottle.

Drying & Finishing

A retractable silicone diffuser that spreads airflow to keep a curl pattern intact and lift the root, then folds flat for the drawer. Rated for styling with heat up to 230°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Must52?
Must52 is Beauté Star's own house line of salon consumables and tools — the manufacturer describes it as being for stylists and self-stylists, offering essential tools and accessories 52 weeks a year. The range covers foils, cream developer, tint brushes, carbon-fibre combs, capes, gloves, mixing bowls, clips and back-bar dispensing. It is a supply line rather than a styling line: the items a salon reorders rather than buys once.
Which Must52 foil should I buy?
Two decisions. Embossed or smooth: embossed carries a fine texture that grips the hair and holds lightener in the weave, which matters on fine weaves and baby lights; smooth lies flat and is what you want for slicing. Heavy or thin gauge: a heavy roll gives 90 m per pound and holds a crimp on long, dense sections, a thin roll gives 98 m and moulds tightly around short root packets. If you only stock one, thin embossed is the most forgiving.
What does the volume number on a developer mean?
It is hydrogen peroxide concentration in older units: 10 volume is 3%, 20 volume is 6%, 30 volume is 9% and 40 volume is 12%. Ten volume deposits and tones with effectively no lift; 20 volume is the everyday strength for grey coverage and one to two levels of lift. The Must52 litre carries 10, 20 and 40 volume at $14.60 each.
Why does Must52 make a point of pH control?
Because an uncontrolled developer does not release its oxygen evenly. It fires hardest where you applied first — usually the root, where scalp heat accelerates it further — and stalls before the ends catch up. That is the hot-roots-and-dragged-ends result every colourist has had on a formula that was mixed correctly. A controlled pH keeps the reaction steady from the first foil to the last.
Are carbon-fibre combs worth it over plastic?
For colour and clipper work, yes. A 20% carbon-fibre compound stays rigid when a clipper rides along it instead of bowing and ruining a guideline, resists heat next to a dryer, survives bleach, developer and Barbicide without clouding or softening, and is antistatic, so fine sections lie flat instead of lifting off the teeth. For combing a client through at the basin, an ordinary plastic comb is fine.
Why does the tint brush come in two colours?
So that a lightener and a toner never share a brush. It is the same brush in a pink and a purple handle, and on a colour bar running two formulas at once — which is most appointments — the second colour is the cheapest defence against cross-contamination there is. It also means three stylists sharing a station can tell their brushes apart. $8.42 each.
Do I need a pump on a litre bottle?
If it is on a back bar, yes. A litre without a pump is a two-hand job at the basin and a guaranteed overpour, and overpour is where a back bar quietly loses margin. The Must52 pump is $3.92, fits the standard litre neck, has a dip tube long enough to reach the bottom of the bottle, and rinses clean so it moves to the next bottle when this one empties.
Is ProHair an authorized Must52 retailer, and what does shipping cost?
Yes — ProHair.ca has been a professional beauty retailer since 1996 and sources Must52 through official Canadian professional distribution. Everything is priced in CAD and ships from Canada, with free shipping on orders over $120.
