A Salon Owner's Investigation into Sanitizing Systems Leads to a New Retail Opportunity
As Alan Snetman tested salon sanitation systems after COVID-19 caused mandatory shutdowns, he discovered a new retailing opportunity.

Not only is the Aerostatic Misting Machine and the Antimicrobial Solution good for the salon, but they make the perfect retail items in this new reality.

As the pandemic forced salons to close across the country, Alan Snetman started searching for a sanitizing solution for his four Jon Alan Salons, which he co-owns with wife Jon, in Nashville, Tennessee.
As he dug deeper into the market, Snetman was turned off by the exorbitant price tags of sanitizing products and services, the pungent odor of many of the products and the toll that many of the harsh chemicals would take on his team, his clients and his salon and spa equipment.
When Snetman discovered the Aerostatic Misting Delivery System and their Antimicrobial Solutions, he knew he needed to share the system with his salon owner peers throughout the industry. The Aerostatic Misting Machine and the Antimicrobial Solutions are an advanced sanitizing technology that makes the world—and the salon environment—a safer and healthy place. Not only is it effective, affordabl,e quick and odorless, but the Antimicrobial Solutions have been approved by the FDA and the EPA to kill bacteria and viruses, including COVID-19 within moments, leaving no odor or down time.
The Aerostatic Misting Machine.
Today, Snetman is offering salons large and small the Complete Sanitizing System. Users simply fill the Aerostatic Misting Machine with the Antimicrobial Solution and point at the area you wish to sanitize from a distance of 3-5 feet. Simply hold down the lever and in less than 10 seconds, a beauty professional can entirely sanitize a styling station or a shampoos area and the area is ready for client traffic within moments.
“The mist covers every surface, even those you don’t see,” Snetman says. “No bulky protective gear is required and there are no obnoxious odors. The charged mist is activated as it dries, and it is safe to use on all surfaces, including electronics, vinyl, fabrics and furniture. It is pet-friendly, free of animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals.”

There are two sizes of the Aerostatic Misting Machine to suit salons of different sizes, and the Antimicrobial Solution comes in a ready-to-use formula or concentrate.
The product lineup also includes hand sanitizers that come in a variety of sizes, contain 80% alcohol and have spray tops to make life easier. “Many clients have had difficulty finding hand sanitizers and reliable sanitizing products for their home use,” Snetman says. “With this system, you may offer hand sanitizers and ready-to-spray Antimicrobial solution as retail products to your clients from the trusted professionals in their lives.”
