As salons around the country are opening, they're all taking a critical look at their policies and procedures as it relates to new hygiene guidelines. Disposable towels not only save time on laundry, they offer a reassurance to team members and clients who worry about sanitation.

There is a huge preoccupation with hygiene currently around the globe, and rightly so. Salons and spas are at the frontline, initiating new health and safety procedures and dealing with concern from clients and staff regarding hygiene.
Towels are a critical part of most salon and spa services, and right now they may be something clients are considering with a critical eye. Ever thought about using disposable towels?
Easydry disposable towels are made from medical-grade fibre. As they are single-use, they are more hygienic than multi-user cotton towels and traditional laundry. Using Easydry disposable towels can be a way to reassure your clients and your team are offering the highest hygiene standards.
To help assure both clients and your team, the team at Easydry has created a hygiene sticker that states the salon is offering clients a clean, fresh towel – every client, every time! (If you are using Easydry towels and have not yet received your Easydry Hygiene Sticker, email info@easydry.com)
Knowing that salons love to educate and inform their teams and their clients, Easydry has put together a short animation explaining how Easydry is the hygienic alternative to outdated cotton towels.
