Working in a salon that does hair and nails can expose you constantly to unhealthy air unless the fumes and particles are constantly removed by an air cleaner. Here are 4 advantages constant filtration can give your salon.

Fresh Smell---Nail and the products used in hair salons are wonderful because they can make clients look better than our best. What is not so wonderful about many of them is that many of the products used contain volatile organic chemicals. These are chemicals that evaporate easily into the air and smell awful.

The worse part is that they are unhealthy to breathe. If you have a number of technicians working at once to give perms, nails, and pedicures, the potential amount of chemicals that can escape into the air increases exponentially.

Unless the air is filtered continuously, your lungs are forced to do it. This can cause symptoms such as headaches, dry throat, congestion and watery eyes. By using an air purifier with a carbon filter, you will be able to remove the chemicals and particles. Purification substitutes the clean air for polluted air and prevents the fumes from accumulating to a level that is uncomfortable and unhealthy.

Allergen Free Air----A purifier that contains a HEPA(abbreviated as high efficiency particle arresting) filter can remove particles from the air. This includes nail dust, hair and other more normal pollutants such as dust, pollen, and even animal dander that may come in on the clothing and possessions of clients who have animals. This type of filter will make it a clean space for those who suffer from allergies and allergic asthma triggered by airborne irritants.

Continuous Coverage---A unit with a split capacitor motor is designed to run safely, continuously, and efficiently. This means that whenever you or any of your customers walk into your shop, you don't have to wait for the unit to catch up with the smells that have accumulated while you've been away.

Healthy Environment---A HEPA filter also removes airborne bacteria and viruses. Even though most germs are smaller than the.3 micron size that this type of filter can eliminate, bacteria and viruses generally attach to airborne particles to move from one host to another.

So by removing the particles, this filter is also able to eliminate airborne germs as well. This means a healthier environment, particularly during cold and flu season.

Competitive Edge---Many salons do not use filtration to keep the air quality healthy. And while opening the doors may let in different air, it is not necessarily air that is fresher or healthier.

Word will get out about how fresh your salon always smells, and this will draw clients who are searching for a green salon. You could even advertise the fact that your salon air quality insures that clients won't have to breathe chemical fumes when they patronize your shop.
