Why Cleaning and Disinfecting Brushes, Combs, Scissors, and Clippers Is Essential in Hair Salons

In a hair salon, hygiene is more than a routine—it's a responsibility. Every day, tools like brushes, combs, scissors, and clipper heads come into contact with different clients’ skin, scalps, and hair. Without proper cleaning and disinfection, these instruments can become dangerous vehicles for infections, putting both clients and staff at risk.

Health First: What Proper Hygiene Prevents

Using contaminated tools can lead to the spread of various conditions, including:

• Fungal infections such as ringworm (tinea capitis), which can easily spread through brushes or combs.

• Bacterial infections like folliculitis or impetigo, often caused by scissors or razors used on irritated or damaged skin.

• Viral infections, including warts and herpes simplex, which can remain active on clipper heads and surfaces.

• Parasitic infestations, such as lice, which are quickly transmitted through uncleaned brushes.

  
  

Operators are not immune: hairdressers and barbers are also exposed, especially when using the same tools all day on multiple clients without adequate cleaning and disinfection. Cuts, abrasions, or even prolonged contact can become entry points for pathogens.

A Professional Image Starts with Clean Tools

A visibly clean and sanitized salon environment builds trust. Clients are increasingly aware of hygiene practices, and ensuring that all instruments are properly cleaned enhances your reputation. In this context, hygiene becomes part of your brand identity—and a competitive advantage.

The Complete Hygiene Protocol: Tools that Make the Difference

Today, salons can rely on advanced technologies to guarantee a complete and safe hygiene process:

• Pulyto Maxi is the first essential step: it efficiently removes hair, dust, and residues from brushes after use, making them ready for further sanitization.

• Rotary Sany Cleaner goes further by detangling and sanitizing brushes with ozonized air, offering an eco-friendly and chemical-free method to eliminate pathogens.

• SterilSfera, a cold ultrasonic nebulization system, combined with HOCLEANY —a professional-grade hypochlorous acid-based disinfectant—ensures deep disinfection of tools like scissors, combs, clipper heads, and small equipment. The duo eliminates viruses, bacteria, and fungi without the use of heat or aggressive substances.
