Abstract
A ventilator is provided for removing contaminants from the air around a client in a beauty salon. An overhead canopy pushes fresh air downwardly towards the client, while suction means is provided for drawing away the downward flow of air and entrained contaminants so as to minimize exposure of the client to the contaminants. In a preferred embodiment, the ventilator is designed for use in a hair salon and the client wears an exhaust collar that is provided with air inlets positioned so that the flow of air is drawn away from the client's face, minimizing exposure of the client to the contaminants.
