Why Do Estheticians Have to Wear Salon Aprons?
If you work in a salon, you know how messy it can be. Because you’re working with chemicals, you know it’s not a good idea to wear your best clothes when you head to work, but why bother wearing an apron at all? Can’t you just wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty?
Although you may be more comfortable working in a T-shirt, it really is best to have a few salon aprons on hand for these reasons.
They’re easy to clean
There’s no doubt that you’ll need to clean the clothes you wear to the salon, but without protecting your shirt or pants, you’ll end up spending more time in the laundry room than you’d like.
Without a protective garment, your clothing will likely end up stained. Before you can throw it in the wash, you’ll have to spend time pre-treating those stains if you want them to come out. In some cases, they may not, and your clothing just ends up ruined.
An apron can prevent this by protecting your clothes underneath, and because they’re made to be easy to clean, most messes can be wiped away.
They look professional
Keeping your clothing clean is extremely important, but it’s not the only reason why you should be wearing an apron. Allowing everyone in the salon to wear their own clothes isn’t very professional. However, because comfort is important, most estheticians are able to wear what they want, but an apron creates a cohesive look among everyone in the salon.
Depending on the type of salon you work in, telling the difference between the beauty professionals and the clients can be a real challenge if you aren’t wearing an apron! They really are the easiest way to set yourself apart as a professional.
They are convenient
Wearing an apron is much more convenient that simply wearing street clothes. Do you want to carry around a cloth if your hands get a little dirty, or would it be easier to simply wipe your hands on your apron?
They’re even more convenient because you can leave your apron at the salon and put it on when you arrive. That way you never have to worry about forgetting your apron at home.
Many styles to choose from
