Salon & Barber Air Conditioning

A cooler, fresher salon for clients and stylists, even with every dryer and styler running.

The Problem

Dryers, stylers and a full chair list

Hairdryers, straighteners, tongs and hot water all dump heat into a small room. Add a south-facing shop window and a busy Saturday, and the salon gets hot by mid-morning.

Hot stylists get tired, clients get sweaty under gowns, and fresh blow-dries do not hold. In winter, many salons run on noisy portable heaters.

The Rules

Ventilation matters as much as cooling

HSE COSHH guidance for hairdressing says keep the salon well ventilated. Some dusty products, such as persulphate bleach powders, can cause asthma, and some hairsprays can make asthma worse.

Split air conditioning cools and heats the air in the room. It does not bring in fresh air. So we look at your fresh-air ventilation at the same time, and can design and fit ventilation alongside your AC. HSE guidance says workplaces should normally be at least 16°C (13°C for strenuous work). There is no legal maximum, but employers must keep the temperature "reasonable" and assess heat as a risk.

What We Do

Built for salons

Quiet wall or cassette units: placed so air is not blowing on a client's wet hair or across the mirror.
Heating and cooling in one: replace portable heaters with one efficient heat pump system.
Ventilation: fresh-air and extract options for colour and mixing areas.
Filter cleaning: hairspray and hair dust clog filters fast, so we set a sensible service interval.

FAQ

Hairdressers & Salons: Common Questions

Will the air conditioning blow on clients?+

No. We position units and set the louvres so air moves around the room, not straight down onto chairs, basins or wet hair.

Does air conditioning get rid of chemical smells?+

Not on its own. Split AC recirculates room air. HSE advises keeping salons well ventilated, so we look at fresh air and extract as well.

Can it heat the salon in winter?+

Yes. Every system we fit is a heat pump that heats as well as cools.

How often should a salon unit be serviced?+

Hairspray and hair dust clog filters faster than in an office. We will recommend a service plan based on how busy you are.

Can you fit it without closing?+

Usually yes. We plan the work for a quiet day or after hours.

How do I get a price?+
