One of the most important furniture would be a treatment furniture like a massage chair/bed.  The massage chair/bed can range from couple of hundreds to $3-4,000 for the very fancy beds.  Pricey beds have electronic reclining capabilities, which allows variety of positions and can turn a chairs into a bed. Another high price equipment would be a microdermabrasion machine.  Microdermabrasion is one of the most common procedures done by skin care professional and it is one of the most important esthetician equipment.  This machine can cost up to $8,000.  High cost models have more powerful engines which can reduce the treatment time maximizing profit.  High-end models also have multiple capabilities such as combining Diamond microdermabrasion, Crystal microdermabrasion and also Oxygen infusion system.  

Also, if you're doing laser or light treatment, you'll need advanced esthetician equipment.  And then there's skin scanner which is becoming one of the standard equipment today.  Skin skinner allows you and your client to view skin under black light, so the areas that require treatment clearly shows itself.  This allows client to view before and after treatment result.  It gives client satisfaction and it builds client loyalty. Then there are facial chairs, wet tables, dry tables, stools, cabinets, trolleys for small supplies.  

These Esthetician equipments are probably the largest investments Esthetician will have to make when starting a skin care business.  Although they can be pricey, it is important to invest in best equipment you can afford.  These equipments will become solid foundation for the business.
