Waterproof Options for Wet Services

How Many Salon Capes Do You Need?

The right quantity depends on your chair count, service mix, and laundry schedule. Salons that perform frequent color, shampoo, or chemical services generally need more waterproof capes in rotation, while cutting-focused salons should prioritize dependable cutting capes.

Start Small When Testing

Individual capes are the best starting point when you are trying a new cape style or determining which products your team prefers.

Use Baker’s Dozen for Regular Rotation

When you already know which cape your salon uses every day, Baker’s Dozen options provide 13 capes for the price of 12 and work well for restocking a proven cape type.

Plan More Backup Capes Around Laundry

Daily laundry can support a smaller backup supply. If capes remain out of rotation for several days between washes, keep additional pieces available for busy service periods.

Consider Larger Orders for Multi-Chair Operations

Larger quantities make more sense when outfitting many chairs, standardizing a salon or barbershop, replacing inventory at once, or purchasing for multiple locations.
