Shampoo, conditioner, styling products, and the hairdresser’s skills often get all the attention when talking about the salon experience, but what about salon towels? Salon towels play a larger role than you may expect, so salon owners take note!
Client Comfort
We all know that a trip to the hair salon should be all about comfort and relaxation, and the salon towel actually plays a significant role in the client’s overall comfort. No one wants an itchy or scratchy towel around their head or neck when getting their hair done. A comfortable and soft towel definitely adds to the overall salon experience. We could even say that a towel’s comfort level on the skin could make or break a client’s salon experience.
The Need to be Absorbent
Salon towels play a very practical role in the salon environment. They are used to soak up the excess water on clients’ hair before they get blow-dried or have other treatments applied. If salon towels are not absorbent, clients could be sitting uncomfortably with wet, dripping hair, and their clothes could end up getting wet.
Hygiene Issues
If you are using reusable or cotton towels, you really need to consider the role that hygiene plays. Bacteria clings to towels, and without washing these towels effectively, you could be passing bacteria on from client to client. Towels need to be washed at a very high temperature in order to get rid of any bacteria.
What Is The Greener Option?
When you consider the massive amount of water and electricity it takes to wash and dry these salon towels constantly, you’ll realise the massive toll that this has on the environment. A much greener option, and the future of salon towels, are definitely disposable eco towels that can be thrown in with your usual trash after use, and they will break down within several weeks.
These towels are still extremely absorbent and comfortable to the touch.
