Salon and Spa Cleaning Around Your Book

Hair is the whole problem and it does not stay where it falls. It gets swept toward the bowl, works into the trap, wraps around the drain, and turns a slow bowl into a plumber on a Saturday. Ours gets picked up and carried out, and the shampoo bowls, the sprayers and the traps underneath get cleared as part of the visit instead of when something finally backs up. Product is the second layer. Spray, mousse and finishing product settle on the station counter, the mirror base, the cabinet fronts and the chair, and once that film sets it stops responding to a general purpose cleaner. It needs the right solvent and a cloth that gets under the edge of things. Color is the third. Dried color on a laminate counter, a bowl rim, a cabinet door or the wall behind a station has to be worked while it can still be lifted, and we say plainly when a stain has gone into the surface for good.

Treatment rooms get reset the way you would want a client to find them: bed wiped down and remade to your standard, the trolley and equipment surfaces cleaned, trash pulled, and the floor damp mopped into the corners rather than around the bed. Laundry is the other thing that quietly eats a salon. Towels and capes stack up in the back until the room smells of them, so running the laundry through goes on the scope and stops being whoever closes up. Timing follows your book, not ours. Most salons here hand over the closed day, usually a Sunday or a Monday, or the stretch after the last appointment. A spa with staggered rooms often has a genuine midweek gap that works better than an evening. Where color has permanently marked the wall behind a station, cleaning is finished and paint is the answer, and our own painters take the room on your closed day.
