How to choose the correct health and beauty uniforms for your salon
Jenna Lee
Many brands and styles of salon uniforms are available in the health and beauty wear market. I hope this article will give you some insight into choosing the correct uniforms for your salon.
The best source for salon uniforms is the internet. Online ordering is fast and secure. Suppliers can be easily found by using the search terms 'health and beauty wear' or 'salon uniforms' in the Google search engine. Usually the top ranking sites are the best choice as the companies have been in business the longest and offer the best quality and value. Look around at a few online suppliers, choose a site that offers clear concise pictures and lots of information about the products you are about to buy. Check the terms and conditions for guarantee and returns information. Many suppliers offer free delivery when ordering in bulk for your salon. Make sure the supplier has a telephone number listed on the site.
Another good choice for sourcing uniform suppliers is from ads on health and beauty directories such as beautyserve.net or healthypages.net.
If you can find a beauty trade show it is highly recommended you visit and look around the various uniforms on offer. Earls Court London or the GMEX Manchester host such shows.
When you find a supplier spend some time with them and don't be afraid to ask questions and view the full range. Examine the garments and look how they have been cut, sewn and finished. Also check trim detail. Your staff will be wearing these garments for long periods so quality is paramount.
When searching for a salon uniform you will come across many different textiles. A variety of fibers and blends are on offer.
Nylon is strong, durable, resilient and abrasion resistant but subject to pilling and not the best choice for salon wear.
Cotton feels comfortable against the skin but tends to shrink when washed. In a salon environment garments can become heavy and soggy and stick to the wearer after a long day.
A good choice for your salon would be polyester or polyester cotton / blend. Both these choices have good abrasion resistance and are easy to care for and quick drying. Polyester/cotton blends are durable, more wrinkle resistant, and shrink less than 100% cotton.
Many professional high quality salon uniforms contain rayon which, unlike nylon, can absorb moisture. This makes garments extremely comfortable and ideal for therapists who need to wear their uniforms for long periods while practicing. Health and Beauty Wear - http://www.healthandbeautywear.co.uk in the UK supply a good range of rayon blended uniforms for ultimate comfort.
As you consider the different textile combinations, consider your salon needs and preferences. Factors such as texture, contact or feel against the skin, moisture absorbency, and weight relate to comfort. Comfort is a desired feature and will enable your staff to carry out their treatments more happily which will reflect on your clientele.
Other decisions to be made are style alternatives. When choosing your salon wear it is important to consider function, individuality, and fashion appeal. Suppliers offer oriental style tunics, zip front tunics and mandarin style tunics which are available in a variety of colours, including black, white, red, lilac and pinstripe.
The style of salon uniform you choose should look smart and blend in effortlessly within the salon environment, for instance, if your salon has a contemporary feel, you could choose black, white or pinstripe salon uniforms with stylish silver fasteners.
A good choice for your staff could be simple oriental style tunics in black or white. Senior staff could opt for pinstripe suits.
It is recommended to use a mild, colour care detergent to maintain the vibrant colour and quality of your salon uniform.
I hope this article has helped you in choosing the correct salon uniforms for your salon.
