This apron gives a real premium look and feel to your staff. It’s made of 100% cotton—the kind that’s very thick and inelastic, making it the perfect fabric choice that prevents water and oil from touching your clothes. Most importantly, it also doesn’t absorb dust! Not that it’s not just any regular apron, but a handicraft. If you’re looking for the best salon equipment for your hair salon in a barber shop, this durable canvas apron is the thing you need. Suitable for men and women, the apron comes with 8 cowhide pockets with practical design and shape, making it suitable for various sizes of tools: the big pocket can be used to keep mobile phones or larger tools, and the three-dimensional small pockets can be used for barber scissors, screwdrivers, and so on. We like that the straps and apron are joined together by a rivet, so it’s not easy to come unsewn.
