Working in a salon that offers services for hair and nails can make you subject to long term exposure to volatile organic chemicals (frequently abbreviated as VOCs).
To avoid aggravating short-term symptoms and long term health problems, it is essential that your salon have filtration that keeps the air clean. Here are 5 best features to have in a unit.
Enhanced Carbon Filter---Carbon is well known for its ability to remove gaseous pollutants such as airborne chemicals. But the types of chemicals that many salon products produce (formaldehyde, ammonia, and acetone to name a few) require that an additive be added to increase carbon's effectiveness.
Potassium iodide has been found to be effective, and drastically increases the carbon's ability to absorb these …show more content…
And bacteria and viruses generally travel from one host to another by attaching to airborne particulates. Taking out the particles can go a long way towards keeping staff and clients healthier.
360 Degree Air Intake---Having a purifier that pulls air in from all sides gives you a huge advantage in where you can place your cleaner. Basically, the sky is the limit with a cleaner that has this feature.

Placing it in a corner out of the way or pulling it close to where a particularly smelly procedure is happening will not interfere with its cleaning capabilities at all. The 360 degree intake feature gives you virtually unlimited placement options.
Low Maintenance---A unit that can take care of you with having you spend a lot time on it will give you the cleanest air. Stay away from cleaners that require you to stop filtration to wash, spray, or charge anything inside the unit.
