Salon and spa professionals who need an economical disposable glove with more durability than standard vinyl — suited to color services, chemical treatments, and general hands-on client work.

Full nitrile gloves cost more per box, and plain vinyl tears more easily during hands-on services. The PVC/nitrile blend here is a middle ground built to hold up better than vinyl without paying for a full nitrile box, which is the whole reason this material exists as its own category.

Put on a glove before beginning a service that involves client contact, chemicals, or color product; remove and discard after each client or when torn or soiled.

Pros:

• Vitridex blend offers better tear resistance than a plain vinyl glove at a lower cost than full nitrile
• Powder-free and ambidextrous, so either hand works from the same box

Cons:

• Non-sterile, so it isn't a fit for procedures that require a sterile glove
• PVC/nitrile blends can feel less form-fitting than a premium all-nitrile glove
