How to Choose the Perfect Hairdresser Apron

It can be hard to find the perfect apron that’s stain-resistant, fade-resistant, lightweight, durable, and functional; with pockets for your scissors, brushes, and other must-haves.

We’ve outlined the top 5 hairdresser & beauty aprons to help you find your perfect salon workmate.

1. The OG Apron

Name: Boston Bib Apron in Light Blue Denim

Apron type: Adjustable Neck Strap Apron, ties around the front or back. 

Why salons love it: The soft neck makes it comfortable all day while the handy pockets mean you have full convenience throughout your working day. The overall style of the pockets makes it super stylish. The wash of the denim means it grows in character as you wear it, spills and stains add to the look of the apron instead of detracting from it.

What others are saying:

MAGIC APRON!

“Like a second skin, I feel amazing in my CC Apron! It’s got pockets in all the right places like magic. I feel naked without it. Love!!! ”

2. The Toolbelt

Name: Utility Toolbelt in Black

Apron Type: Waist adjustable tool belt apron

Why salons love it: The perfect alternative to a waist apron, with all the style & functionality for makeup artists and hairstylists. It’s also preferred by those that live in warmer climates or feel hot in a bib apron, without restricting your movement as it sits close to the body.

What others are saying:

“I personally don’t normally wear an apron, so I was so happy that we now have the toolbelts we can use. They are so smart, comfortable and discreet.”

3. The Fade Fighter Apron

Name: Henry Bib Apron in Pebble, Mocha, Bluegrain or Charcoal

Apron type: Crossback Bib Apron with no fading after 100+ washes & select your strap colour.

Why salons love it: Finding a fade-resistant apron can be hard, that’s where Fight The Fade^TM technology comes in. 18-months in development and testing to achieve the perfect fade-resistant, lightweight and durable apron fabric. Our incredible Fight the Fade™ fabric holds strong against common washing products including Oxygen Bleach agent stain removers such as Napisan, Vanish, and Sard Oxy. Our trials show washing over 100+ times shows no obvious change in colour.

What others are saying:

LIGHTWEIGHT QUALITY FEELING

“I purchased these aprons for my shop. I wanted something with this linen look. My ladies find them lightweight and cool to work in our warm climate. They do feel higher quality than our last ones.”

4. The Black Denim New Kid

Name: Boston Bib Apron in Black

Apron type: Adjustable Neck Strap Apron, ties around the front or back.

Why salons love it: After the huge success of the OG Boston Apron (number 1), we had so many hairdressers contact us that would also like it in the traditional black. We listened and delivered, Boston Black is the same style as the OG Apron, but in a black denim fabrication.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

This is my favorite apron. EVER! I’m a colorist and I destroy aprons. This trendy apron was built to withhold all the abuse I give it! So forgiving with color! Goes with everything. Thanks, Cargo Crew!

This apron is so great, I feel so stylish wearing it! I got the darker brown leathery straps to go with it – a really nice combo.
