Hairdressing capes, or as they are also known, also called hairdressing cloaks, are essential accessories in hairdressing salons and barbershops. They have the role of protecting the client from the cut hair and the products used, thus ensuring a clean and comfortable haircut process.
How do I choose the right cape?

The material from which it is made

Polyester: A lightweight, water-resistant and easy-to-clean material. Polyester is also fade and wear resistant.
Nylon: Similar to polyester, nylon is durable, water resistant and easy to care for. It is often used for capes due to its quick drying properties.
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Waterproof material, ideal for protection against liquid hair products. It is heavier than polyester or nylon and may be less comfortable.
Material Blends: Some capes can be made from material blends to combine the advantages of each, such as durability and comfort.

Characteristics

Sizes: Hairdressing capes come in different sizes to fit all body types. They are usually long enough to cover most of the client's body.

Adjustable Closure: Most capes have an adjustable closure system such as drawstrings, snaps or velcro (hedgehogs) to fit around the client's neck, ensuring maximum protection and comfort.
Elastic or padded collar: An elastic or padded collar provides increased comfort and a better seal around the neck, preventing cut hair from penetrating the skin.
Waterproof: Many capes are treated to be waterproof, thus protecting the client from water and other liquid products used in the cutting and styling process.
Design: Capes can have different designs, from simple ones in one color to those with attractive patterns or prints. The design can add a touch of professionalism or style to the salon.
