Before the peak of summer heat, inspect your salon's air conditioning. Launch of "Air Conditioner Disassembly and Cleaning Service Exclusively for Beauty Salons and Hair Salons" to Address Oily Film Fouling from Hairspray and Chemical Mists

HONU Inc. (Headquarters: Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kenichi Uchida; Service Brand: "Shokubai no Chikara (HONU)"; Trade Name: "KOHKIN LAB"), which handles deodorization and air conditioner cleaning for hotels and medical institutions, launched an air conditioner disassembly and cleaning service exclusively for beauty salons and hair salons on July 1, 2026.

This service focuses on the unique environment of beauty salons where mists from hairsprays and chemicals used in coloring and perms tend to accumulate inside air conditioners.

Before problems such as "air conditioners not cooling," "musty odors returning," or "condensation forming around the unit" occur during the hot season, we support stable operations during the summer through disassembly cleaning and measures against re-fouling.

"Air conditioners not cooling" on scorching days is an operational risk for beauty salons.

KOHKIN LAB

Before the height of summer, it's important to check the condition of your air conditioning. In beauty salons, mists from hairsprays and chemicals used in coloring and perms disperse into the air with each treatment and are drawn into the air conditioner through the intake vents. These substances tend to accumulate and solidify as an oily film on the entire surface of the aluminum fins, and in some cases, cannot be removed by general surface cleaning alone. When the oily film covers the fins, it leads to reduced airflow, decreased cooling efficiency, and the recurrence of musty odors. Especially on scorching days, a decline in air conditioning capacity directly impacts customer comfort and the working environment of staff. Air conditioning troubles can also affect appointment management and the ability to continue operations on the day.

Salon Air Conditioning Risks

"Condensation on the air conditioner unit" is a sign to be cautious of.

One sign to watch for is condensation around the air conditioner unit. When oily film changes the properties of the aluminum fin surface, condensation water generated during cooling may not drain smoothly and can appear as water droplets around the unit panel or air outlets. If you see water droplets on the unit, the area around the air outlets is damp, or musty odors return quickly even after cleaning, these symptoms may indicate that oily film fouling has accumulated inside the air conditioner. Even with repeated surface cleaning, if the internal oily film is not addressed, it is difficult to achieve a fundamental improvement.

Air Conditioning Risks from This Time of Year

A dedicated 5-step program tailored to beauty salon air conditioning environments.

HONU Inc. has prepared a dedicated program to address the specific types of fouling found in beauty salons. After assessing the condition of the equipment, we consistently perform disassembly cleaning, catalytic coating, measures against re-fouling, and airflow measurement.

1. Triage Diagnosis We assess the penetration depth of oily film and the degree of fouling for each unit to select the optimal cleaning agents and number of applications.

2. Complete Disassembly Cleaning Internal components, including the aluminum fins, are disassembled and cleaned with specialized agents that address oily polymer fouling.

3. Triple Catalytic Coating We use platinum colloid, silver colloid, and titanium oxide to restore hydrophilicity and prevent recurrence.

4. VB Filter Installation We install VB filters coated with Delfino coating to suppress the entry of hairspray-derived oils through the air intake vents.

5. Airflow Check We measure the airflow speed before and after the work and report the cleaning effect numerically. Our measurements before and after work have confirmed cases where airflow speed has recovered up to four times. Our specialized team, knowledgeable about beauty salon air conditioning environments, proposes construction methods and schedules to ensure operations are not interrupted during the peak summer season.

Confirmation of airflow after cleaning is performed.

Consideration for continued operation during cleaning. Free estimates.

We propose the optimal cleaning method for each store after inquiring about the industry, model, degree of fouling, and operating schedule. Estimates are free. Please contact us early for inspections and consultations before the peak of summer heat.
