Betty Dain Kid’s Shampoo Cape
The Betty Dain Kid’s Shampoo Cape (Model #454) is a highly specialized salon drape engineered specifically to protect children during hair washing and rinsing at the shampoo bowl. Unlike standard kid's styling capes that focus on hair repellency, this model prioritizes complete water containment and a tight collar seal to keep a child’s clothes perfectly dry.
Key Dimensions & Tailored Fit
Child-Scaled Protection: It typically measures 30" W x 36" L. This compact footprint is designed perfectly for a child's proportions, ensuring the cape drapes safely over the shampoo chair without dragging in the water or bunching up uncomfortably around their lap.
Snug, Water-Tight Collar: Features an adjustable touch-and-close (Velcro) neck closure that cinches down tightly to accommodate very small neck sizes. This snug fit creates a reliable barrier that prevents soapy water from leaking down the child's neck and back—one of the most common causes of distress for children at the shampoo bowl.
Material & Waterproof Performance
100% Waterproof Vinyl: Crafted from a soft, lightweight, and exceptionally flexible vinyl material. This fabric provides a total moisture shield that completely blocks water, shampoo suds, and deep conditioning treatments from seeping through to underlying clothing.
Skin-Friendly Flexibility: Unlike stiff, rigid industrial plastics, the vinyl used by Betty Dain remains supple and comfortable against sensitive young skin, allowing the child to lean back into the shampoo bowl cushion without the cape digging in or pinching.
Stain-Resistant Surface: The non-porous material is naturally resistant to chemical stains, making it equally useful for protecting kids during light treatments or messy styling products.
Care & Maintenance
Because vinyl cannot be laundered like standard nylon capes, maintaining the Kid's Shampoo Cape is fast and straightforward:
Cleaning: Do not machine wash or put it in a dryer. Simply wipe the surface down between clients using a damp cloth, sanitizing wipe, or a spray disinfectant like Barbicide.
Drying: Hang it up by the collar or lay it flat to air dry. The waterproof material sheds water instantly and dries completely in a matter of minutes.
Storage: Hang the cape smoothly to prevent heavy creasing or cracking in the vinyl over time.
