From safeguarding clients' clothes to enhancing the overall comfort of the hair-washing experience, these capes are key to a mess-free, happy salon visit.

At Salonwear, we're dedicated to bringing that extra touch of care and quality to your salon, ensuring every hair wash is as perfect as the haircut.  

The Significance of Shampoo Capes

Shampoo capes are the trusty sidekick for any hair washing station. They ensure clients stay dry and comfy while their locks are being lathered, rinsed, and conditioned. At Salonwear, we’ve seen how the right cape can turn a routine wash into a luxurious treat.

Understanding the Impact

Every detail counts in creating the perfect salon experience. Shampoo capes might seem like another accessory, but they're so much more. They're the unsung heroes that keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Why Capes are Crucial?

Shampoo capes have a big job to do. First, they guard clients' clothing against splashes and product spills, which means no more worrying about stains during a color treatment or a simple wash. They also help to create a professional atmosphere in the salon, showing clients that you care about every aspect of their comfort and convenience. Lastly, they’re instrumental in maintaining the cleanliness of the salon space, saving time and effort with their easy-to-clean materials.  

Types of Shampoo Capes

Each shampoo cape in our collection at Salonwear is designed with specific fabrics that cater to different needs. Here’s a splash into the fabrics we use:

Polyurethane Capes: The Waterproof Warriors

Polyurethane capes reign supreme in the realm of waterproof protection. These capes are more than just barriers against moisture; they are marvels of textile engineering. Imagine a cape so light it feels like wearing air, yet so effective that water droplets simply bounce off its surface. Their flexibility allows for unrestricted movement, making them an ideal choice for stylists who value both protection and comfort. The no-fuss, no-muss attribute of these capes means that they are incredibly easy to maintain, always ready for the next client without missing a beat.

 Iridescent Silkara Capes: The Quick-Drying Comforters

For those who prioritize speed and comfort,  Iridescent Silkara capes are the heroes of the salon. These capes are not just quick to dry; they bring a level of softness that elevates the client's experience. Durability is another hallmark of  Iridescent Silkara capes, ensuring that they can withstand the hustle and bustle of a busy salon environment. Easy to wash and care for, they stand the test of time and usage, embodying practicality and comfort in one sleek package. This makes them an indispensable asset in any salon setting, where time is precious and comfort is king.

Nylon Capes: The Economical Defenders

Nylon capes are the perfect blend of functionality and affordability. In the world of capes, nylon is a material that punches well above its weight, offering water-resistant properties without the premium price tag. These capes are a testament to the fact that quality and affordability can coexist. They are the go-to option for salons and home users alike, who seek effective protection against spills and splashes but are mindful of budget constraints. Nylon capes represent a smart, practical choice for those who want reliable performance without breaking the bank.
