There's nothing quite like having your hair done in a beauty salon. It's a relaxing and enjoyable way to give a little attention to you. If you are the owner of a hair salon, that's exactly what you want your customers to think when they envision your shop.

The best way to keep the beauty shop experience a good one is to make sure that the smells and odors from the chemicals that are used are eliminated. Cleaning up the air for aesthetic reasons makes it an option, filtering the air to avoid serious health issues makes it a must. Here are the top 5 reasons why you need an air purifier now.

Hair Spray-Keeping the style in place with hair spray often seems like a rite of passage for those getting their hair done. Not only does it hold the style, but the smell for some says "professionally done".

Because the smell and chemicals linger in the air, it can cause a significant drop in indoor air quality. This can trigger unpleasant symptoms (sneezing, watering or burning eyes, scratchy throat, headache, and nausea) in those who suffer from asthma, allergy or chemical sensitivity.

Having a client suffer this kind of reaction at your shop would make for a memorable experience, but not the kind that would make a repeat customer. And because many more people are aware of the effects that poor indoor air quality can have on their health, they will only frequent salons that smell fresh and clean.

Smoke-Many like their hair pressed, and or curled with a hot iron. And even though it makes for great looking hair--smoke is smoke whether it's from a curling iron or a cigarette. And the bottom line is it is unhealthy to breathe.

And speaking of tobacco smoke, if you still allow smoking in your salon (this could be reducing your bottom line as many people only patronize smoke-free businesses) filtering the air would minimize the smell of it and the hazardous effects of second hand smoke for everyone in the shop.

Chemicals from Perms and Dye-Lots of people who have straight hair want curly, and lots of have curly want straight, people that have black hair want red, those that have red want brown, and those who have brown want blond. So perms and dye will probably always have a place in the beauty shop.

Aprons protect your clothes and those of your clients, and gloves protect your hands, but safeguarding everyone's health with an air cleaner not only makes coming to your salon a good time, but safe for your clients as well.

Nails and Toenails-If you pride yourself on being a full service salon that offers manicures and pedicures, you have probably seen quite an increase in your customer base. But you have also exponentially increased the number of airborne chemicals being released into the air each time these services are performed.

Filing of artificial nails releases thousands of fine particulates into the air, and nail polish, adhesives, hardeners, and other products used are high in volatile organic chemicals that evaporate into the air easily. Most of these have been shown to be hazardous to your health, and long term inhalation of these chemicals often lead to serious health problems.

Aesthetically, it just doesn't smell good and does nothing to add to a positive beauty shop experience. Getting rid of the airborne chemicals once again makes your shop a relaxing place to be, and puts your mind at ease as you offer your customers the best air quality possible.

Your Health-We've talked about your customers' well being, now let's talk about you and your associates. Even if your customers came every day, they would only be exposed to a fraction of the chemicals that you are. And if you have a shop that has a number of other beauticians working in it, it doesn't take a mathematician to see that the number of chemicals you are all exposed to daily is phenomenal-and not in a good way.

Not only is clean air something that your clients deserve, but that you and every one working in your salon deserves too. A high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) air purifier that is designed to remove airborne chemicals needs to be put to work in your shop today to improve air quality and everyone's chances of staying healthy.
