STAINS ARE AFRAID OF BLACK
Black is also the best option for beauty industry attire in case you happen to get anything on your clothing. We’ve been there, hair color rubs on your top or a dollop of the exfoliating mask drops on your pants. Thankfully black tends to hide stains very well, so it’s great for students who are learning.
Should anything happen, we have tips and tricks to save your clothing. When in a pinch, we always have permanent markers on hand. Yes, a permanent marker! It works wonders to mask any stain. You might be used to having a Tide Pen on hand to remove stains, but with black as your staple wardrobe color, markers will become just as valuable!
WHY THE INSTITUTE OF BEAUTY & WELLNESS WEARS BLACK
