subject: Healthy Beauty Parlor Air--top 4 Things That Can Cause Unhealthy Beauty Parlor Air [print this page] The beauty parlor experience is more that just the sum of its parts. It's a time for relaxing and enjoying being pampered. Removing the following 4 airborne pollutants from your beauty parlor's air will help you, your clients, and fellow stylists enjoy healthy air quality permanently.
Here are 4 things that can cause your shop to receive poor marks on its air quality, and a solution that can get your shop to the front of the line again.
Airborne Hair-Clipping, shaving, blow drying, and sweeping of hair can all send it airborne. In an effort to keep the area around the chair neat for the customer, most stylists will sweep the floor after cutting hair. This means hair is constantly being sent airborne. Multiply the number of stylists in your shop by the haircuts given each day, and have the potential for pretty hairy air.
Hair Spray-Many women still enjoy having the final touch for their new style to be hair spray. If you've ever watched the stylist apply it, there is literally a cloud of it surrounding the person. And just because you don't see it after 10 seconds doesn't mean it's gone from the air. If your shop has only 3 stylists, and they each do 10 customers a day, and finish them all with hair spray, just that one product alone is reducing the air quality by the number of chemicals that remain in the air from the spray.
Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) from Products--Perming products are notorious for their ability to complete transform a client's look. Unfortunately, they are also well known for the unpleasant odor they create. In fact a lot of them stink. Even if they were not off gassing chemicals into the air, the atmosphere at the shop would be greatly improved if it smelled good. How often have you opened the door only to be greeted by the perm smell? The better your shop smells, the better the first impression that you make will be. And the longer you keep a client in your shop the better?
Chemicals Used for Manicures and Pedicures-As more salons have become full service salons, offering manicures and pedicures make the beauty parlor experience even more appealing. However, nail polish, hardeners, acrylic, adhesives and other materials that are used really smell awful and the odors signal a nail salon long before you can see it.
Taking these chemicals out of circulation with an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove particles such as hair and airborne chemicals is a winning combination for an air cleaner for a beauty parlor. A high efficiency particle arresting air (or HEPA) purifier will remove particulates down to .3 microns and make your shop easier for people who suffer from allergies and asthma.
A purifier that also has an inner filter to absorb and eliminate the chemicals that off gas from beauty products make it a smart investment for the health of you and your stylists and your customers as well.
