Salon Dark Coloured Towels are designed to cater their needs
Manufacturing salon towels involves meeting specific standards for comfort, durability, absorbency, and aesthetics. Salon towels are designed to cater to the luxury and relaxation needs of spa-goers, with an emphasis on softness, absorbency, and skin-friendly properties. The material is the most important aspect of a high-quality salon towel.
FOUR MAIN REASONS WHY SALONS PREFER DARK
1. Stain Resistance and Concealment
• Salons frequently work with hair dyes, bleaches, tinting agents, makeup, oils, and other chemical products that can easily stain towels.
• Dark colors (like black, dark grey, navy, or deep brown) effectively hide stains, especially from hair dye, which can be very difficult to remove from lighter fabrics.
2. Professional and Luxurious Aesthetic
• Dark towels give a sleek, clean, and uniform appearance, aligning with the modern, high-end look many salons aim for.
• They look fresh longer than white towels, which can yellow or show wear and tear more easily.
3. Longevity and Durability
• Since dark towels hide stains and wear better, they tend to last longer, making them more cost-effective over time.
• Salons wash towels frequently and in hot water, so dark towels that can handle repeated washes without looking worn are ideal.
4. Consistent Branding
• Many salons choose towel colors to match their brand colors or interior design. Dark tones are neutral and versatile, fitting most themes.
SIX COMMON STANDARS FOR SALON TOWELS
While there is no universal regulatory standard, professional salon towels typically meet the following practical and industry-level expectations:
1. Material
• Usually made of 100% cotton or cotton/poly blends.
• Cotton is preferred for its absorbency, softness, and durability.
• Microfiber towels are also becoming popular due to quick-drying properties and stain resistance.
2. Size
• Common size: 16″ x 27″ or 17″ x 30″
• Large enough to wrap around the neck or shoulders but not so big as to be bulky.
3. Weight (GSM – Grams per Square Meter)
• Towels used in salons are typically medium to heavy weight, around 400–600 GSM, providing a balance between absorbency and fast drying time.
4. Colorfastness
• Must be colorfast, meaning the dye won’t bleed or fade during frequent hot washes with chemicals like bleach or peroxide.
• Many salon towels are marketed as “bleach-resistant” or “dye-resistant”.
5. Lint-Free or Low-Lint
• Especially important for use on freshly washed or styled hair.
• Reduces residue left on hair or skin.
6. Labeling
• Often labeled as professional-grade, salon-approved, or spa-quality.
