Disposable gloves

Why use disposable gloves in the salon?

In the salon, you work with products such as hair dyes, creams, peelings or disinfectants on a daily basis. These can cause skin irritation or be difficult to remove. Disposable gloves then provide a reliable barrier between your skin and these substances. In addition, they ensure optimum hygiene when working on or with your clients' skin - crucial in any professional setting.

Who are plastic gloves suitable for?

• Hairdressers use plastic gloves while colouring, blonding and treating hair to protect their hands from stains and chemicals.
• Beauticians wear disposable gloves during facials, exfoliations and waxing to work hygienically and avoid allergic reactions.
• Pedicurists use vinyl gloves or other types for hygiene and to protect against contact with fungi, skin cells and possible infection risks.

Types of disposable gloves: which material suits your work?

Plastic gloves come in different materials, each with their own benefits:

• Latex gloves: Made of natural rubber, they are flexible and fit snugly. They offer excellent protection against bacteria and viruses, but are not suitable for people with latex allergies.
• Nitrile gloves: Extra strong and resistant to oils, greases and chemicals. Ideal for treatments where strength and protection are important.
• Vinyl gloves: Comfortable and economical. Vinyl gloves are perfect for shorter, lower-risk treatments such as tweezing or applying grooming products.

You can also choose between powdered and unpowdered varieties, depending on your preference and working environment.

Choosing the right disposable gloves

When buying disposable gloves, always pay attention to:

• The size - so the gloves fit snugly and allow you to move smoothly.
• The application - choose the right material for the type of handling you perform.
• CE marking and NEN standards - these indicate what the gloves are suitable for.
