Black Salon Towels: What the Colour Changes and What It Does Not

Black salon towels are a colour requirement that arrives with a workflow reason attached. Colour remover, developer and tint show on a white towel; a dark towel hides the working residue between clients. The colour is easy to specify. The rest of the specification does not follow from it automatically.

Two colour records, one material

Our salon range carries a white record and a black record, and both are 100% viscose. The reference size on each is 40 × 80 cm, GSM runs 50 to 100, and the recorded pack is 50 pieces per pack. In other words, on these two records colour is the only field that differs — which is useful, because it means a buyer can move from white to black without reopening the material decision.

What the colour does not change

Colour does not change GSM, size, fold or pack on those records. It also does not carry a pattern: the black salon-towel record lists no surface structure, while the white record sits in a range where plain, pearl and F textures are recorded where compatible with the material. A buyer who has approved a pearl white towel and switches to black should expect the pattern to be a new confirmation rather than an inherited one.

Colour is a record, not a programme

White on the white record and black on the black record are the two values recorded in the product data. Other colours are reviewed per project; this is not a stocked colour programme, and there is no colour card that a buyer can pick from. That distinction matters at the quotation stage, because "can you do navy" and "what navy do you stock" are different questions and only the first one has an answer.

The question to ask before ordering black

Ask what the towel is expected to look like after use, not before. A dark towel that goes pale at a fold line, or that shows fibre disturbance where a chemical was applied, is a specification problem that appears in the salon rather than in the warehouse. Since the record does not carry a performance claim for chemical resistance, the honest way to settle it is a trial run in the actual workflow before a full order is placed.

What this means for a mixed order

A salon that wants black towels at the stations and white towels for facial work is ordering two records, not one product in two colours. The pack count, the carton and the delivery schedule are quoted per record, and the 40 × 80 cm reference size is the same on both, which keeps the storage decision simple.

Both colour records are on the disposable towels page; the salon workflow they support is described under hair salon towels.
