Crafting Your Own Salon Aprons

By Mamie Conrad


Among the equipment required by stylists are salon aprons. These essential piece of equipment is very useful in protecting the worker from spills and stains of chemicals and solutions used in styling. The standard design of the tools used in parlors should have the functional pockets that store other tools needed for hair styling.

The salon apron is not very different from other work equipment. To make it more useful and suitable for the work that they do, hair stylists often apply modifications to their protective equipment. They do this to suit their style and the demands of their work.

When designing the appropriate tool, first decide whether you like to make your own from sewing to printing or buy a completed piece and add the modifications. If you choose to craft your own, you will need fabric and a pattern to start on. You will need scissors, thread, and other trimmings that you will need for your design.

You can find an easy design on the local textile shop. If you plan to purchase a ready to utilize apron, you can purchase one from a store that sells beauty products. If you decide to create your own using a pattern, choose the appropriate fabric to use.

Preferably, use textile that is durable and can be washed using a washing machine. Choose the appropriate color to use that suits your business and colors that can hide stains from chemicals. Colors that are also in your logo or other symbols are useful. You can even have the logo of your business printed on the aprons to advertise your salon.

Start creating the tool by cutting the pieces based on the pattern. To make accurate cuts, iron the pattern as well as the fabric to be used. Make sure all pieces can fit into the available length of the textile before cutting. Allowances have to be made for additional pockets and embellishments not included in the original pattern.

After cutting the pieces, fold and iron out the seams of the pieces. After folding and ironing, assemble and secure the pieces in place with pins. Sew the pieces by hand or using a machine. Hand stitching requires the use of appropriate thread and needle for the cloth to avoid getting injured.

Start with the pockets and straps. After which, you can start with the seams of the fabric. The embellishments that you use should not hinder with the work of the stylists. Hinges and frayed seams are not advisable to use because it can get caught up in other salon equipment. Instead, you can choose iron on designs or your logo for the embellishment.

If fabric paint is used as added design, make sure that it is completely dry before using. If you are not comfortable with using fabric paints yourself, you can hire a professional printer to do the painting job for you. All that you need to do is provide them with the image that you wanted to place on your salon aprons.
