Over the past year, many businesses in New Zealand, including hair salons, barber shops, and nail boutiques, have gradually resumed operations. To guarantee everyone’s safety close-contact services such as hairdressers, barbers, and beauticians can utilise these physical barriers to safeguard their clients and employees from the spread of germs and the virus.
How do perspex screens work?
Perspex screens go by many names like cough guards, hygiene screens, sneeze guards, and more. But they all represent the same idea – creating a physical barrier between people to limit the exposure to germs and viruses.
In salons they can be used to partition sections of the shop floor and help maintain social distancing.
Here are a few areas you could use the cough guards for:
- In waiting areas, to separate customers waiting at the same time
- Reception areas and any counters in general
- Between styling chairs or hairdresser sinks, to place a barrier between customers
- On manicure tables, to separate the nail technician from the customer.

The separation screen can also be moved from one area to the other as it is not fixed to the floor.
