What's In Salon Air?

The beauty industry has greatly increased the number of services offered to customers in the last 25 years. 

Salons that formerly only did nails, or hair, now do both.  Many have expanded services to even include applying eyelashes.

And while the availability of such a wide range of services has been great for customers and business, what seems to continue to suffer in many cases is the air quality in the salon. 

Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) from adhesives, hardeners, dyes, polishes, and polish removers can all evaporate into the air and stay there for hours, even days.
Most customers are exposed to it for an hour or so at a time, but if you spend your days in the salon offering these services, unless you are taking steps to actively filter them out, you are being exposed to chemicals that have been shown to cause potential long term health problems.

Sensitivity to these chemicals often presents as dry throat, nausea, headaches, burning eyes, and dizziness.  And these can just be the beginning of bigger problems if the exposure is long term.

Opening doors and windows does not adequately remove the chemicals and often causes hard feelings with adjacent tenants when the smells invade their space.  Hot and cold temperatures often make outside air exchange impossible, and is ultimately not effective.

So what is the answer to keeping air quality high?  24-hour filtration with a carbon filter enhanced with an additive to increase the absorption of airborne VOCs is the most effective way to remove airborne chemicals.

The Beauty Salon Air Purifier from PurerAir.com offers 4-stage filtration 24 hours a day and can send 250 cubic feet of clean air into your salon every 60 seconds.
