Professional Beauty Association and Barbicide® Launch H1N1 Preparedness Toolkit

Worried about how to fight off H1N1 this season?  The Professional Beauty Association and Barbicide® have created an online toolkit that addresses concerns for salon/spa owners but can be used by the general public as well.

Barbicide is the #1 disinfecting cleaning solution on the market.  The trademark blue liquid + kills HIV-1, Tuberculosis and is also effective against H1N1.  While the iconic jar is most often associated with disinfecting combs for barbershop, the powerful liquid is now used in many forms, including wet wipe applications.

“We have seen an increased demand for H1N1 resources and information from salon/spa owners across the country,” said Steve Sleeper, Executive Director of the Professional Beauty Association. Said Alan Murphy, President of King Research,  “Our contagious disease experts and in-house researchers are key contributors to the tools and programs King Research has launched and we want to share that information with the beauty industry.

Pro Beauty Association kicks off the H1N1 Preparedness Campaign on Thursday, November 11 with this online toolkit that includes a Business Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist, FAQ on H1N1, Recognizing the differences in types of flu and Tips to Prepare.  Both organizations are planning future webinars and workshops.
