When you book an appointment at a new salon you may have concerns- how will my hair look? Will it be cost-effective? Very rarely does the average customer think about the cleanliness of the salon environment.
Understandably so, right? You naturally assume that all salons prioritize cleanliness.
Unfortunately, that's not always the case.
At Braids of Katy, we want to empower you with five essential cleanliness standards to look for in a professional salon. When you walk through our doors, you enter a space where hygiene, professionalism, and client care are non-negotiable.
Let’s dive in.
Why Cleanliness Should Be a Top Priority
Your stylist's talent should never come at the expense of your safety or peace of mind. A clean salon isn’t just about appearances. A clean salon directly reflects how much a business values your overall well-being.
Think of it this way: Close contact is inevitable when you're seated in a chair for hours. You deserve to know that every part of the experience- from combs to capes to the floor beneath your feet, every item and surface has been properly sanitized.
Why?
A clean salon helps prevent the spread of bacteria, fungi, and other contaminants that can cause skin irritations or scalp infections. It also ensures an unsanitary or rushed experience doesn’t overshadow your hairstyle.
Top Five Cleanliness Standards
Here are five basic cleanliness standards every salon should uphold:
-
Sanitized Tools – Combs, brushes, scissors, and clips should be cleaned between every client.
-
Fresh Linens & Capes – Capes should never be reused without laundering. Additionally, neck strips should be changed between customers.
-
Tidy Workstations – Chairs, trays, and counters should be wiped down frequently.
-
Well-Maintained Restrooms – A dirty restroom is often a red flag about overall hygiene practices.
-
Clean Floors & Waste Disposal – Hair should be swept up promptly, and trash should be emptied regularly.
If a salon doesn’t meet these minimum standards, it’s time to look elsewhere. Keep in mind, the above list is not exhaustive. However, it does give us a good place to start.
