Super Size Styling Cape #899S
The Betty Dain Super Size Styling Cape (Model #899S) is a staple, professional-grade cape designed specifically to provide maximum coverage and comfort for clients of all sizes, making it an excellent baseline asset for busy shops.
Here is a detailed breakdown of its key features, material specifications, and care requirements:
Key Features & Design
Generous Dimensions: It measures 54" W x 60" L, offering an extra-large, oversized drape that provides complete neck-to-lap coverage. This makes it ideal for larger or plus-size clients, ensuring their clothing stays fully protected from stray hair clippings and water.
Closure Types: Depending on the exact sub-variant ordered, it is available with an adjustable snap closure (most common for the 899S) or a touch-and-close (Velcro) fastener, allowing for a secure, universal fit across various neck sizes.
Lightweight Comfort: Despite its massive size, the fabric is exceptionally breathable and lightweight, ensuring the client doesn't overheat during long cutting or styling sessions.
Material & Performance
Fabric Composition: Crafted from premium crinkle nylon (often specified as crinkle Antron nylon). The puckered texture of the crinkle finish prevents cut hair from sticking to the fabric, allowing hair clippings to slide off effortlessly to the floor.
Resistances: The cape is highly water-resistant, making it perfectly suited for cutting, damp styling, and comb-outs.
Important Note on Chemical Use: Betty Dain officially designs the #899S primarily for cutting and styling. While it offers excellent barrier protection against water mist and hair, it is not fully chemical-proof and should not be heavily exposed to harsh color treatments or bleaching agents.
Care & Maintenance
Built for the fast-paced environment of a high-volume shop, the cape is incredibly low-maintenance:
Washing: Machine washable (wash cold is recommended).
Drying: Tumble dry on a low/no-heat setting. It dries remarkably fast.
Ironing: No iron or exceptionally cool iron only (the crinkle texture naturally eliminates the look of wrinkles anyway).
Bleach: Do not use bleach.
