What’s in salon air
Your salon is exposed to toxic chemicals
Beauty salons are one of the most loved businesses globally. Salons empower people to feel more confident about themselves for that big event, or the daily walk of life — but have you ever thought of the chemicals used and the effect they have on us with regular breathing?
Several studies indicate health problems among hairdressers and beauty salon technicians to be related to exposure to chemicals used at work. This is exactly why the MedicAir® portable air purifier is a necessity for you and your staff.
Without proper ventilation or air purification, the beauty supply chemicals regularly used are stagnant in the air, and these airborne chemicals have long-term health risks associated with breathing them on a regular basis. Hairdressers, nail technicians, and related workers may have a higher risk of developing cancer due to the carcinogens contained in hair dyes and more.
Chemicals found in beauty salons are not beautiful
Salon workers are exposed to toxic chemicals from salon products by inhaling chemicals from salon air. Harmful chemicals such as acetone, toluene, ammonia, and methyl methacrylate are found in salon air. These substances off-load from hair dyes, glues, bleaches, permanent wave solutions, and acrylic nail products, just to name a few. Not only that, but cancer-causing formaldehyde can be released from hair straighteners and flat iron sprays when used with high heat.
Staff and clients
Improving indoor air quality in your salon
Improve the air quality for your staff and clients with the MedicAir®.
Salon owners and employees are increasingly aware of the chemicals their products use. Leading beauty supply brands pride themselves on using fewer chemicals with no animal testing in their products, but that doesn’t mean the products are safe to breathe on a regular basis. The MedicAir® air purifier filters chemicals out while improving airflow inside the salon.
An air purifier should be stylish like your salon
Air purifiers don’t have to look like a square box. The MedicAir® is designed to be stylish yet minimalistic and non-intrusive. More importantly, the MedicAir® is effective with medical-grade filtration, tested by multiple renowned facilities to ensure performance, and is used by thousands of commercial and medical environments.
Improved productivity
Studies have shown that improved air quality can also improve cognitive function, improve productivity, and increase learning capacity.
Acceptable indoor air quality starts with MedicAir®.
Odors, fumes, and aerosols
Air purification for salon odors, fumes, and chemicals
The MedicAir® reduces airborne contamination in the salon industry. It purifies the air by removing suspended particulates, like the aerosols from hair sprays, hair dyes, nail glues, and so much more, with a multi-stage air purification that uses the latest technology. Its activated carbon filter captures gas pollutants, odors, and other VOCs.
-
Aerosols
The use of aerosols in the beauty salon business is unavoidable. Salon workers are exposed to a myriad of chemicals of concern every day in their workplaces. Air purification takes more of them out of the air you, your staff, and your clients breathe, and less of them in your air can only help.
-
Reduce odors
Commercial-grade air purifiers like the MedicAir® will make a positive impact on your clients. They will notice a fresher, cleaner smell as soon as they enter your business. The MedicAir® effectively removes or reduces odors in your beauty salon, leaving fresh and easy-to-breathe air.
-
Odors and other chemicals
Much like aerosols, the dyes, creams, paints, and more off-load chemical ingredients, which have strong odors and contribute to the typical “salon” smell noticeable in most everyday salons.
A larger salon, or several rooms? Commercial air purification is sized for the room and the occupancy, not the square footage alone.
