Intended for salon and barbershop professionals who need single-use hand protection during hair-color, bleach, and other chemical services, and for anyone doing at-home hair coloring who wants disposable coverage. Being vinyl rather than latex, this box is a relevant choice where a latex allergy is a concern for the stylist or the client; being vinyl rather than nitrile, it suits lighter-duty color and tint work rather than prolonged exposure to harsher chemical processes.

These gloves are built specifically around the two things colorists care about most during a tint service: keeping stains off the hands (the black color hides them entirely) and keeping enough tactile sensitivity to work precisely near the hairline and part lines, which the stretch-vinyl fit is designed to preserve better than a bulkier glove would.

Select the correct hand size before starting a service — this box is medium only. Pull a glove on fully before mixing or applying any color, bleach, or chemical product, and put on a fresh pair for each client or each new chemical process to avoid cross-contamination and skin contact. These are single-use gloves: remove and discard after the service rather than reusing, and dispose of them according to your salon's standard waste procedure.

Pros:

• Latex-free, avoiding latex-allergy reactions for stylist or client
• Stretch-vinyl fit conforms to the hand for better tactile control than a stiffer glove
• Powder-free, so no powder residue transfers to hair or skin
• Black color hides tint and product stains
• Bulk 100-count box is economical for regular use

Cons:

• Vinyl generally offers less puncture and chemical resistance than nitrile, so it suits color and tint work better than prolonged exposure to harsher chemical treatments
• Box is medium size only, so a salon will need to stock separate boxes for other hand sizes
