A salon visit is supposed to feel like a little break from everyday life. You settle into a chair, flip through hairstyle pictures, chat with your stylist and let someone else take care of you for a while. But while you are busy deciding between a trim and a complete makeover, there are a few things around you that deserve a closer look.
From the comb used on multiple customers to the towel handed over after a hair wash, some salon essentials can harbour germs if they are not cleaned properly between appointments. Even a place that looks spotless may have small hygiene gaps that customers rarely notice.
This does not mean you need to avoid salon visits altogether. Knowing which commonly used items need proper cleaning can help you make safer choices the next time you book an appointment.
