I wear a chocolate brown tunic with matching troosers. I'm seriously considering some bermuda shorts for this heinously hot weather. Even my teeth are sweating!

On the subject of uniforms, can you tell me if there are 100% cotton uniforms available? Are they any good?
Thanks x

Salon whites for me as a nail tech. I'm usually top to tail in black, but it shows the dust too much for everyday in the salon so whites for me.

Working from home I find it hard to switch off, or switch on depending on the day, my uniform allows my brain to decide which 'mode' it should be in.

Work wear! After trying to find any vaguely decent for guys I gave up ... salon uniform companies really don't like men. Or at least not enough to give them the choice of something tastful and decent.

But them I found hivis.net! No seriously!! So now when waxing I have a black polo shirt printed with Waxing for Guys on the front and the same on the back in a reflective red bar. And a pair of very nice black workwear trousers. All for £21.80 including the printing!!

I've also had a hi-vis bomber jacket printed up to wear around town when its a bit cooler for marketing. Look out for me at Pro Beauty North!

I wear grey and beige tunic and wide leg trousers, or black polo shirt and black "nice" jogging bottoms for sports massage.
I wear the same for my home salon that I would wear if I had a shop as I want to be taken just as seriously.

I think what you suggested would be smart and I would put your phone on for when you are out and about as an advertisement.
