You would not believe how difficult it is to open a new salon. I never thought that cutting hair would be such a complicated situation. I suppose when you are the owner of a business building, you get a lot of extra insight into the industry. For instance, I never would have thought that performing microblading services on our clients would count as a medical procedure. If you’re anything like me, you think that temporary facial tattoos are more of a cosmetic service than a medical one. However, apparently in order to legally offer microblading services we needed to have advanced indoor air temperature control on par with a state-of-the-art hospital installed in the building. Personally, I have never thought about indoor air quality before in my life. If I adjust my thermostat and the indoor air temperature changes appropriately, I am a happy camper. I’ve never had any problems with allergies, respiratory illnesses, or skin problems that could be traced back to a low indoor air quality. Therefore, I have definitely never considered the existence of air purification devices, HEPA air filters, or UV light disinfection. Now, I’m suddenly having to learn about all of these Advanced air quality control measures for myself. If I want to offer microblading or injectable Services, I need to have established the air quality standards that can only be achieved with high-quality air purification systems and HEPA filtration devices. On top of all of my other salon costs, calling out the heating, cooling, and air quality control repair technician was one of the most sizable investments I made in my new business.
