If you also run a salon, you must have all the essential tools (from beard trimming to hair). But your barber equipment must be impeccable, as must its cleaning. Here's a look at all the hygiene and cleanliness rules.
Maintaining your barber equipment
If you want to be transparent and gain your clients' trust, you must follow the steps below.
Combs and brushes:
Remove all hair inside (using another brush) to clean and disinfect them.
For this, use an isopropyl alcohol wipe impregnated with isopropyl alcohol.
In addition, brushes should be washed with shampoo or soap every week. After soaking for 15 minutes, rinse them and dry them in a towel.
But do not dry them with a hair dryer if you do not want to damage the materials.
The shaving brush:
Rinse it after each use. In addition, soak it in a warm solution (with 15% white vinegar) every week. After 15 minutes, wash it with a mild shampoo or your Proraso beard shampoo. Then let it dry upside down.
The straight razor:
Disinfect it with a wipe and a spray. Then wash it with alcohol and soapy water. Then store it in a dry place such as a leather or plastic case to protect it from oxidation.
Razors:
Regularly rinse the razor head to remove creams and hair. If residues are stubborn, soak the razor in hot water. For blades, run them under cold water and dry them with a towel.
Clippers and scissors:
Cleaning and disinfection are mandatory. Turn to disinfectant wipes.
For clippers, don't forget to lubricate the cutting head with Wahl cleaning spray so that it doesn't wear out quickly.
Ensuring the safety and well-being of your clients
Gouiran Beauté barber equipment hygiene
In a salon, your clients come for several reasons: the decor of the place, the prices, the friendliness of the professionals, but also for the hygiene. As you know, according to article 118 of the Departmental Sanitary Regulations, you must maintain every object used.
Indeed, if you clean your tools poorly, they can quickly become a vector for the transmission of biological agents. For example, when using a razor, you can scratch a mole or a pimple. It is therefore necessary to be vigilant!
Now you have all the possible steps to properly clean your barber equipment. If you have any questions, don't hesitate. Gouiran Beauté is here to help!
