Beauty Salon have evolved from places where only hair is done to full service salons that offer services that include the Brazilian Blowout, massages, manicures and pedicures. With the additional services there is more exposure to airborne chemicals for both staff and customers. Here are 7 best features to choose to assure that the cleaner you choose will make a difference.

Choose Carbon---Well known for its ability to absorb gaseous pollutants, it is essential that a salon cleaner have a substantial amount of carbon. The harder it is the more absorbent. And for this reason carbon that has its origin in coconut shells gives you a huge advantage towards improving the air quality.

Additive for Chemicals---Potassium Iodide when added to carbon has been found to be particularly effective at eliminating the types of chemicals that salon products produce. This additive is particularly effective at removing formaldehyde as well as chemicals that off-gas from nail polish, polish remover, hardener, and acrylics.

With more and more people becoming more concerned about their personal health, and the environment, this is a proactive way to improve both.

Split Capacitor Motor---Many products off-gas fumes that linger in the air for hours. Multiply those fumes times the number of technicians in your salon and it's easy to see that the chemicals in the air can increase exponentially.

To keep the air quality from taking a nose-dive (particularly at peak times in the evenings and on weekends), you need a cleaner that can run 24 hours a day whether you are there or not.

This constant cleaning will virtually eliminates fumes and make the air smell fresh and healthy all the time. A split capacitor motor is capable of running continuously, safely, and efficiently.

360 Degree Intake---A purifier that can pull air from all sides will keep you many more options in terms of where it can be placed in your salon. Generally all it should need is about 6 inches from any surface to function with 100% efficiency.

Units that have limited intake often dictate that the unit be placed in the middle of the room or in some other inconvenient place which may not be possible for you in your shop.

Opt For Particle Filters---Like any other indoor space, airborne particles make up a considerable portion of pollutants. Even in your salon there are normal pollutants such as dust, mold and mildew spores, bacteria and viruses, seasonal pollens, and even pet dander.

Add the salon-related particles such as hair and fine pieces of nails that are sent airborne by high speed grinding and filing as part of manicures and pedicures and particle filters are important. Choosing a unit that can do both is a money saver because one purifier can take care of both gases and particles.

Portability---The air closest to the purifier will be cleaned first, and eventually all the air that is not closed off from the cleaner will be pulled in, cleaned and returned to the salon. A unit with wheels that can be rolled effortlessly to exactly where you need it when providing a service that is particularly smelly can reduce the fumes quickly.

Variable Filtration Speeds---Being able to match the rate at which the air is filtered with the rate at which fumes are being sent into the air gives you the most control in your shop.

If there are a number of procedures being done that you know will make the air smell bad, being able to crank the filtration up to high is a huge advantage. Likewise, when not much is going on, being able to turn the speed down to low will make your bottom line look better.
