Chemical Capes Vs. Regular Capes: What's The Difference?

Our tools are just as necessary when providing the best salon services as our skills. At Salonwear, we understand that selecting a suitable hair stylist cape provides efficiency and client comfort. Today, we'll delve into the distinctions between chemical capes and regular capes, helping you make informed decisions for your salon.

Understanding Chemical Capes

Chemical capes protect clients during chemical treatments like coloring, perming, and relaxing. 

• Made from materials resistant to chemicals and water, these capes ensure that no harsh substances come into contact with the client's skin or clothing. This protection is essential for preventing allergic reactions and stains, thus enhancing the overall client experience.
• Chemical capes are indispensable for any salon that offers hair color capes or other chemical treatments. 
• Protect the client and maintain a clean working environment with hair stylist capes. 
• Using a chemical cape ensures that your salon adheres to high hygiene standards, boosting client trust and satisfaction.

Consider a scenario where a client comes in for a hair color treatment. Without a chemical cape, the dye could seep through a regular cape, leading to potential skin irritation or ruined clothing. Chemical capes eliminate this risk, making them a must-have for safe and effective hair treatments.

Regular Capes: Everyday Essentials

On the other hand, regular salon capes are designed for less intensive tasks such as haircuts, styling, and blow-drying. 

• These capes are typically made from lightweight, breathable materials that provide ample protection against hair clippings and water.
•  They are comfortable for clients to wear and allow easy movement, essential during a haircut or styling session.
• At Salonwear, our regular salon capes come in various styles and colors, ensuring that they not only protect but also add a touch of professionalism to your salon. T
• These capes are also equipped with adjustable closures for a secure fit and are easy to maintain, making them a practical choice for everyday use.
