“I truly believe that this system has helped improve my health and will make it possible to continue to work in this industry for longer. I am in the process of opening another salon and I am installing air filters in both new tables. I can't recommend enough how important this filter is and how it helped me. I strongly recommend it to all nail technicians, whether you are in the beginning of your career or a veteran filer."
“I recently purchased 3 Salon Pure Air units and I must say that I love, love, love them! I was concerned about not only my health and the health of my clients, but my children are in the salon on a regular basis, and I wanted to be sure they were not breathing in harmful fumes. We set up the units and we are now odor free and worry free. Thank you, Salon Pure Air, for your exceptional product. It was well worth the investment!”
“When I started using my Salon Pure Air my business increased for my hair department. All of our guests love the fact that we do nails without all that odor. I'll never do nails again without this air system. It's Awesome!"
