Hair Stylist Clothing Shows Professionalism

By Sandra Collins


When a salon offers a multitude of services, or is just popular, there is sure to be a large clientele. Although there will be busy days, a good operator knows how to deliver quality work quickly. Respecting the time of the client ensures they will not only return but bring new business. Some people do not realize that wearing hair stylist clothing, instead of street clothing can make a difference in productivity.

Some stylists feel that once they have completed training, they should be able to wear what they please. And while many do, their clothing is not fully protected by the many things that can happen in a busy salon. When there are a lot of people moving around, it is common for chemicals like hair dye to get on clothing.

Most aprons found at craft stores cannot protect clothes from dyes or caustic chemicals. These are not designed for that purpose, even though it may be better than nothing. Ideally, smocks not only protect from strains but many have insulated or secure places to place sharp objects.

Owners of extra busy salons require staff wear an apron or smock when they are on the floor. They say that is helps to protect everyone from most accidents and it is easy for patrons to tell who is an operator. Uniforms are not only durable and easy to wash but can help save time.

During busy days, a stylist may forget something needed to tend to another client and find themselves making multiple trips. Wearing a smock with ample pockets saves time and most patrons appreciate this. When time is saved, it allows the operator to offer more services or take anyone who walks in without an appointment.

The smocks and aprons used now are a lot more stylish than early models. These are made of a lightweight but durable fabric blend that resists most stains. There are also many styles that flatter different body types so the stylist has a better range of motion when working with their clients.

While some beauty salons have their stylists wear all black or another dark color of street clothing, it may not be enough. Some fabrics fade and other types of clothing may not be suitable to wear on the floor, Even though form fitting items may present a smaller appearance, there are not always practical.

There are also some owners who will take the extra step by requiring soft rubber soles on their feet. When spills occur, an assistant may not be able to clean up in time during extra busy moments. So this can help with accidents, along with not wearing extremely high heels or shoes that lack support. Injuries in this type of environment can affect everyone when it comes to money.

Although some may consider wearing a uniform out of style, having dress standards in places ensures safety. Those offering these types of services should prepare themselves since more people are seeing that a nice appearance can pay off. More working adults are investing more to make sure they look good and few will go into small debt doing so. This type of person believes that the right look will lead them to a wonderful opportunity, whether it be personal or professional.
