Hi Pattea, and thanks for your question. I see my colleague, Lyn, has provided an excellent answer. Far be it from me to question any of this, as I have zero experience (in salons) having my hair and/or nails done!!
However, to be thorough, I did have some concerns when it came to overall safety. Please look over this information and let me know what you think. I'm hopeful that Lyn will also take a look and render her opinion as well!
If you have been diagnosed with COPD, and are using continuous supplemental oxygen, safety concerns can be reduced to two issues, from my perspective.
The first is if anything in the salon (scents, sprays, coloring materials, etc), would act as triggers for your present condition.
The second is if anything in the salon would be generating an electric spark of some kind. We all are aware that oxygen supports combustion.
You may want to discuss this with both your physician and the salon owner.
Please do check back and let us know how this all worked out.
Warm regards,
