Getting started in dog grooming?

Clippers one good pair to start but two are better as they can heat up quickly. As for brand, it's a personal thing, I like Oster but many swear by Andis

Blades, 2 of each 10,15,7F, 5F, 4, (there are others that you really don't need just yet)

Kool Lube, to cool the blades while using them,

Blade wash to keep them clean and sharp. (soaked overnite and good to go the next day)

Good slickers, two different sizes to start, one for small and one for larger breeds

Good quality steel comb. Greyhound are THE best.

Furminator, shedding comb. hound mitt. Muzzles, come in very handy with nails ("donut"type are the best and less stressful--at least 3 sizes

You will eventually need your own forced air dryer, they are quite expensive but worth it. I assume the salon has those already that you can use for now.

Good quality scissors, 8" straight 6" straight 8"curved (for the poodle heads and tails) The more scissors you have, the better, (if you drop them, they are dull so you need backup) And no stainless steel. they don't hold the edge well, ice tempered carbon steel are the best.

Nailclippers, large breed size, and smaller breed size. (cat nail clippers are great for toy dogs-they are scissor like ).

Your a grooming assistant and your asking what tools you need? why don't you know what you need??? I guess you don't pay much attention to what you do.
