Overview

Good ventilation is essential in all salons to maintain air quality and protect both clients and staff from fumes, odours, and airborne particles. Chemical treatments, sprays, and disinfectants can release vapours that build up in enclosed spaces. Effective airflow improves comfort, reduces the risk of respiratory irritation, and ensures compliance with UK workplace health standards.
