It’s pretty well known that salons have a significant amount of chemical fumes, gases, & vapors present on a regular basis from the products used to create hair and nail styles. And many salons have already installed a fume extractor system to remove these fumes because they understand that not only does clean air improve the customer and employee comfort, but it also reduces any eye, nose, throat, or respiratory irritation that might result from airborne fumes—and it keeps them in compliance with OSHA regulations, preventing fines and other costs.
What is amazing, however, is how many hair and nail salons still do not have proper ventilation. Some owners actually think that ‘it’s not that big of a problem’ ‘it’s not their problem because they just rent booths’ or ‘the A/C brings in enough fresh air’, and neither of these are even remotely true. Fumes and gases are enough of a problem in hair and nail salons for the Federal and State governments to set PPM or parts per million limits and regulations with consequences for failure to comply. If you’re the business owner or own the lease on the space you’re using or renting, you’re responsible for the air quality. And that’s mainly because of the health hazards, since it’s been proven in research that fumes from various cleaning and processing agents do cause harm in the short term and long term.
Salon air cleaners are much more affordable than they used to be, and they’re certainly not expensive when you compare it to the potential losses created by increased insurance rates, health claims from workers, lawsuits, or OSHA fines that are often in the thousands of dollars. One quality fume extractor at each hair or nail station might cost a few thousand dollars, but the best fume extractors will not only last for 20 years or more, but they’ll also go a long way toward preventing any losses from liability suits or other surprise costs. And—whatever fume or vapor filtration system you buy—the unit and the filters—are all tax deductible!
For the best chemical vapor & gas filtration, we recommend one portable fume collection unit per hair or nail processing station (much like welding or soldering where the fumes must be captured as they are created) and an overall fume extraction system attached to the HVAC system to capture over 99% of any fumes, gases, chemicals or other airborne pollutants that may be present. That way, you, employees and customers will have peace of mind knowing that air pollution isn’t going to be a problem when they go to their next hair or nail salon appointment.
For portable salon fume extractors, we recommend the AllerAir Salon 5000 or Salon 6000 units, as these have been proven most effective in testing and in actual salon use. These portable salon fume extractors not only trap chemicals with the highest grade of industrial activated carbon, but also trap particles with a true HEPA filter, which eliminates particle hazards at the same time.
