Salons & barbershops

More towels on the shelf, fewer loads in the back.

Hair salons, barbershops and nail salons hand their used towels and capes to a local Runner and get them back washed hot, dried and folded — so the stylists stay behind the chair.

Why salons fall behind on towels

Dozens of towels per stylist
Every client uses two or three towels. A busy Saturday empties the shelf before lunch.
The washer that never stops
A machine in the back runs all day, heats up the room and still leaves a pile at closing.
Product that builds up
Conditioner and styling product stay in towels washed cool, leaving them stiff and less absorbent every week.

How it works for a salon

01
Choose your days
Most salons go two or three times a week. Pick a window that fits around your busiest chairs.
02
Toss and bag
Used towels go straight into a laundry bag at each station; the Runner collects them from the back room or the front desk.
03
Hot wash for product
Towels are washed hot so conditioner and product rinse out, with color towels kept apart when you ask for separate loads.
04
Stacked for the stations
Folded small for the station shelves, usually back the next day, or the same day with the same-day option, for loads and pickup times that qualify.

Caring for salon towels

Salon towels take hair color, lightener, oils and product all day. The right wash keeps them soft and absorbent for longer.
Hot water to rinse out conditioner and styling product
Bleach-safe color towels washed as their own load, so color never moves onto your white towels
Capes and smocks dried on a lower heat
Free & clear detergent by default, kind to clients with sensitive skin
Folded small to fit station shelves and hot-towel cabinets
A 6-chair salon
Six stylists seeing eight clients a day at about three small towels each is close to 150 towels — roughly 35 lb — a day. Three pickups a week of about 70 lb keep up.
About 70 lb per pickup: $127.49
3 pickups a week: about $382.47
Next-day rate of $1.75/lb plus the service fee per order. The real weight is on the scale photo of each order.
Good to know
Hair dye stains are permanent on most cotton. We wash color towels clean and soft, but we do not remove dye — that is why dedicated bleach-safe towels are worth having for color work.

Salons & barbershops: questions

Will you get hair color out of our towels?

Most dye stains are permanent. We wash color towels hot and on their own, so they come back clean and never stain the white towels.

Can you take capes and smocks?

Yes. Send them with the towels and note it on the order; they are dried on a lower heat.

Do we need a contract?

No. Pay per order, by the pound, plus a small service fee. A recurring plan is optional and can be paused anytime.

When can the Runner pick up?

Pick the window that suits your day from the times shown when you book, any day of the week.

Which areas do you cover?
