sävyttäväkaapus

Sävyttäväkaapus is a Finnish term that translates to "toning cape" or "coloring cape." It refers to a piece of protective clothing worn by hairdressers and clients during hair coloring or toning treatments. The primary purpose of a sävyttäväkaapus is to prevent hair dye, bleach, or toner from staining the client's clothing, skin, and neck.

These capes are typically made of waterproof or water-resistant material, such as vinyl, nylon, or treated polyester. They are designed to be large enough to cover the client's shoulders and back completely, often with a fastening mechanism at the neck, such as Velcro, snaps, or ties, to ensure a secure fit. Some sävyttäväkaapus may also feature an elasticated or adjustable collar to further protect the neck area.

The design of a sävyttäväkaapus can vary. Some are simple, single-layer capes, while others might have a more elaborate design with additional features like built-in pockets or longer lengths for extended coverage. They are an essential tool in any hair salon or home hair coloring kit, contributing to a cleaner and more comfortable experience for both the stylist and the client. After use, sävyttäväkaapus are usually wiped clean or washed, making them reusable.
