Most people who take the time to go to the beauty salon frequently have a need to feel looked after and pampered. Not only do they want to look good with just the right hairstyle, they want to feel special and relaxed. Salon towels are meant to do just that. These are towels that wrap around the head after a hot shampoo at someone else's hands. The hair feels shiny and clean and the customer is relaxed.
Material
These terry cloth products should be durable and thirsty, soaking up water so the beauticians can do their job. Thick towels wrapped and set on the head for a few minutes will absorb the excess water before the hair is combed out and cut or styled.
Durability
Salon towels should be sturdy enough to withstand chemicals from coloring, permanents and relaxers. They should not sprout holes and tears as a result to exposure. Regular laundering in very hot water will help to neutralize any bacteria present from meeting many heads. The ideal salon towel will be resistant to nearly everything but the liquid it is meant to absorb. Strong stitches around the towel or a durable bound edge is crucial for items like these that are washed frequently.
Softness
Part of feeling pampered at the salon is the soft, coziness of the head being wrapped in a towel. It should feel luxurious. Using 100% ringspun cotton is one way the beautician can help the customer feel like they are being taken care of by someone who cares.
Details
Salon towels come in a variety of sizes to accommodate a variety of uses. The most common is 16-inches by 27-inches. This will cover even the largest client's shoulders and wrap around the longest hair. Large, fluffy towels should reflect the corporate colors of the establishment or, if there are many individuals under one roof, each stylist may have their own color stock. Smaller towels are used as a barrier of protection for the neck or the eyes. These are often thinner and less luxurious, as their purpose is more for utility than luxury. They are usually white terry cloth about the size of a face cloth or hand towel. Once they have been stained, the smaller variety can still be used for cleaning rags. They are still usable and durable, just not as attractive to customers.
Professionalism
Premium salon towels announce to the clientele that things are done with a touch of class and professionalism. While less expensive types are available, the nicer ones are appreciated due to their softness and durability. Thin ones can be used in very busy discount salons, but they do not have the same effect of presenting an air of top-notch hairstyling and cutting.
