One area that could be a topic of discussion is whether or not to use a salon chair cover. In this article we will discuss the pros and cons of using a salon chair cover to help you make the best decision for your salon.
What Is A Salon Chair Cover?
There are two ways to think about salon chair covers:
- A piece of fabric/material that covers the chairs when they are not in use
- A covering to be used when a client is in the chair; this cover is removable

What Are The Cons Of Using A Chair Cover?
