In today’s salons, air quality is more than a comfort issue, it’s a critical part of workplace safety. Chemical services like acrylic nails, gel enhancements, color treatments, keratin smoothing, lash services, and medi-spa applications all release fumes and ultra-fine particles that accumulate quickly in enclosed spaces. Relying on general room airflow or scented “air fresheners” doesn’t remove contaminants—it simply masks them.
Source capture ventilation changes the game.
Instead of hoping airborne pollutants drift across the room to be filtered, source capture systems remove them the moment they’re created. Positioned inches from the work area, these systems pull fumes, particulates, vapors, and odors directly into a multi-stage filtration system before they enter the breathing zone.
Why Salons Need It
- Protection for staff: Stylists, nail techs, estheticians, and tattoo artists are exposed for hours every day. Reducing inhalation reduces cumulative risk.
- Better client experience: Clients immediately notice clean, fresh air—no lingering chemical odors.
- Compliance with ventilation codes: Many states and municipalities now require source capture for nail services and certain chemical treatments.
- A healthier brand image: Clean air is a professional standard that sets your salon apart.
By choosing a high-quality source capture system like Salon Pure Air®, you’re investing in your team, your business, and your future.
