We're SalonCapes.com, a 43-year-old family owned company based in South Florida, a USA business! Looking For Custom Salon Capes? Ol' Blue Eyes had been born!
Back in 1982, Sig "Ol' Blue Eyes" Abeles, our founder and president, was sitting in a hair salon in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida having his hair cut. He noticed that the custom salon capes owned and even the cutting cape the stylist had placed on him was falling apart. He also complained that the neck was to narrow for people with large necks like him. The stylist agreed and said "That's how everybody
makes them". He looked at the hair cutting cape closer and realized that it was made of a very cheap fabric and the quality of the construction was poor at best. Having been a clothing manufacturer in New York, and having been a supplier of all types of garments to every major department store in the country, he knew what was a well made garment and what was not. He asked the owner of the salon how much he had paid for the custom salon capes and haircutting capes. He was shocked when he heard the price. He told the salon owner that he could make him a larger and better hair cutting cape out of a higher quality material for the same price if not less. The owner, intrigued but a little skeptical, gave Sig his first order: one hair cutting cape. When Blue Eyes returned with the custom salon cape, the owner was stunned. He could not believe how big the hair cutting cape was and how good it looked. He said he had never seen a haircutting cape with a neck that large or with that many snaps. He said it was exactly what he had always wanted in a haircutting cape, and he immediately ordered a dozen more cutting capes. Ol' Blue Eyes was curious as to the what the possibilities might be in getting into the salon apparel business, so later that week he went to some local beauty supply stores to see what other companies in the industry were charging for their hair cutting and custom salon capes/ salon apparel and what kind of quality they were producing. What he found was basically two types of garments: lower cost salon apparel of extremely poor quality and better quality salon apparel at outrageous prices. Sig knew that by selling directly to the salon he could produce hair cutting and custom salon capes & salon apparel of higher quality than anyone was making, and offer them at a price that was close to or even below the price the companies producing poor quality salon capes were charging. Ol' Blue Eyes started producing as a wholesale manufacturer hair cutting and custom salon capes and salon apparel and began to show them to local salon owners here in South Florida. They were a little skeptical at first, but couldn't resist trying that BIG CAPE with the HUGE NECK. Once they saw how good our hair cutting and custom salon capes were, they kept ordering more and more. They also made requests for other items such as hair color capes, customer robes, and stylist jackets and robes. Ol' Blue Eyes didn't just make the salon apparel how he thought they should be made, but rather encouraged the salon owners and hairdressers to tell him what they wanted in the items, as well as what frustrated them about other hair cutting capes/ chemical capes they had used so that he could produce a garment that would meet all their needs. This is why we say that our line of hair salon apparel is designed by the salon professional, for the salon professional because many of our innovations have come from the suggestions (and the frustrations) that our customers have encountered in their salons. We have used these ideas to create what we consider the most versatile, durable, and comfortable line of hair cutting capes,chemical capes,and hair salon apparel in the industry. Well, over 20 years have passed since we took that first order for from our first customer. Since then we have grown to include over 6,000 salons as our customers. Most of our customers are here in South Florida, but we have clients all around the state and in other parts of the U.S.A. We service salons ranging from small one chair barbers to huge mega salon-spas that exceed over $1,000,000 in sales a MONTH! We also pride ourselves on treating every customer as if they were our only customer, handling each order with equal importance because we know that is the key to establishing long lasting business relationships. A well-known business cliché states: Quality, service, price; pick any two. Well, at Saloncapes we are disproving that old adage by giving you the best quality salon capes and garments in the business, the most outstanding service in the industry, and factory direct prices! We know once you use our custom salon capes and salon apparel products, you will be a fan for life. Thank you for your interest, and thank you for your business, we look forward to serving you for custom salon capes and salon apparel.
