Nilofer Aydinli, Managing Director at Enki Towels, talks to us about the benefits of using disposable towels during summer heatwaves.
As summer temperatures continue to rise, salons are looking for practical ways to keep clients comfortable while maintaining high standards of hygiene and efficiency. From reducing excess heat during appointments to improving salon operations, disposable towels can offer a range of benefits during the warmer months.
Nilofer Aydinli, Managing Director at Enki Towels, shares why making the switch to disposable towels can help salons deliver a more comfortable experience for both clients and staff throughout the summer.
Lightweight and comfortable
When the weather is hot, clients are often already feeling warm before they arrive at the salon. Add in the heat generated by hairdryers and styling tools, and traditional cotton towels can sometimes add to their discomfort. Lightweight disposable towels help clients stay cooler throughout their appointment, creating a more pleasant salon experience.
Gentle on sensitive skin
Summer can leave skin feeling dehydrated, sunburnt and more sensitive than usual. Disposable towels are soft and gentle against the skin, making them a comfortable choice for clients with irritation or sensitivity. Using a fresh towel for every client also provides added reassurance for those with delicate skin.
Excellent hygiene
Every client receives a fresh, single-use towel, helping to minimise the risk of cross-contamination. While professionally laundered cotton towels can also be hygienic, disposable towels remove any concerns about towel reuse between clients, giving both salons and clients added peace of mind.
Highly absorbent
Disposable towels are designed to absorb moisture quickly and efficiently, helping remove excess water from the hair before blow-drying. Faster moisture removal can help reduce drying times, improve appointment efficiency, and keep the salon running smoothly during busy summer periods.
A refreshing extra for clients
Disposable hand and face towels are a simple yet thoughtful addition during hot weather. They can be offered during facial and hand treatments, placed in washrooms or made available at styling stations, allowing clients to freshen up and cool down before or after their appointment – a very beneficial extra during the summer season!
Reduced laundry demands
Summer is often one of the busiest times of the year for salons. Disposable towels reduce the volume of laundry needing to be washed, dried, and stored, helping save staff time while easing pressure on washing facilities during peak trading periods.
Supporting a better client experience
During periods of extreme heat, small touches can make a big difference. Providing lightweight, hygienic towels demonstrates attention to client comfort and wellbeing, helping create a more enjoyable salon visit and encouraging repeat business.
As salons prepare for another warm summer, simple operational changes can have a positive impact on both the client experience and day-to-day efficiency. Disposable towels offer a practical solution that supports comfort, hygiene, and convenience throughout the season.
