Are you looking for an extraction system or extraction arm for your hair salon? If you have employees, local extraction is not just a good idea—it is required by the Danish Working Environment Authority when you work with chemicals such as hair dye, bleaching agents and perming solutions. At Just Add People, you will find two of the most recognised brands in local extraction for salons, PermaVent and Alsident, all in one place, so you can compare them and choose the solution that best suits your salon.
Here are the most important things to consider before making your choice.
Hair dye, bleaching agents and perming solutions release vapours and microparticles that can irritate the airways, eyes and skin during prolonged exposure. Local extraction removes these vapours directly at the source, unlike ordinary ventilation, which simply circulates the air around the room. If your salon has employees, the Danish Working Environment Authority requires local extraction at workstations where chemical products are used. Even without employees, it is still worth investing in for your own sake.
An extraction arm is the movable part of the system that you position close to where the vapours arise, typically at the colour-mixing station or right by the client's head during a treatment. The arm is articulated, allowing you to bend and direct it exactly where you need it, then push it aside when it is not in use. Both PermaVent and Alsident offer extraction arms in black and white aluminium, so they fit into your salon's interior rather than looking like technical industrial equipment.
Wall-mounted extraction arms are the most common solution and work well if you have a fixed workstation with plenty of wall space behind or beside the chair. Ceiling-mounted arms are an advantage if you want to keep the floor and walls clear, or if the workstation is in the middle of the room without a nearby wall. Both types are available from PermaVent and Alsident and are mounted in a 100 mm spiral duct or bracket.
PermaVent is developed and manufactured in Denmark and comes as a complete solution, with the motor, arm, filter and bracket included in one package, so you do not have to assemble the components yourself. Some PermaVent models are also available in ATEX- and ESD-certified versions for use where special requirements apply regarding static electricity or explosion protection. Alsident is known for its flexible aluminium arms, available in both wall- and ceiling-mounted versions, and is a well-established name in local extraction in Denmark. If you are unsure which brand is right for your salon, you can view both in our PermaVent and Alsident ranges.
The extraction arm is only one part of the system—the motor draws the air through the arm and out of the salon. An extraction motor with a silencer reduces noise levels, which is worth prioritising in a salon where the motor often runs throughout the working day. A speed controller allows you to increase or reduce the power as needed instead of running at full power all the time.
You can often install smaller local extraction solutions yourself. For example, the PermaVent solution is pushed directly into a 100 mm spiral duct or bracket. Larger systems or complete installation of the motor and ductwork should be carried out by an authorised electrician or installer, so you can be sure that the system works correctly and complies with the requirements.
The price depends on whether you need a single extraction arm for one station or a complete system with a motor, several arms and controls for the entire salon. A complete solution such as PermaVent is often more budget-friendly overall because you do not need to buy and assemble the components separately.
PermaVent's black and white extraction arms are the most popular choices in our range, often combined with the extraction motor with silencer. Alsident's extraction arms, for both wall and ceiling mounting, are often chosen by salons that already know the brand or already have other Alsident equipment.
Whether you choose PermaVent or Alsident, you can get extraction arms in both wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted versions, in black or white aluminium. Wall-mounted is the most common solution for a fixed workstation, while ceiling-mounted is practical if you do not have a free wall nearby or want to keep the floor completely clear. Both types are articulated, so you can adjust the arm exactly to where the vapours arise and push it aside when it is not in use.
PermaVent is designed and manufactured in Denmark and comes as a complete package with motor, arm, filter and bracket, ready for installation. This means you do not have to work out which components fit together. The system was developed specifically for hair salons, unlike many extraction solutions originally made for laboratories or industrial workshops, and is therefore more compact and discreet in appearance.
Alsident is a well-known name in local extraction, with flexible aluminium arms available in both wall- and ceiling-mounted versions, in black or white. The arms are easy to bend and position exactly where you are working.
You get the same four fixed benefits, regardless of which brand you choose:
Please note that made-to-order items and products customised specifically for your order are exempt from the general right of return. See the full terms in our terms and conditions.
Do you need extraction for a nail station rather than an extraction arm? You can take a look at our manicure table with built-in extraction instead. Would you like to see the extraction solutions in person before placing your order? Visit our showroom, or contact us if you are unsure which solution is right for your salon.
Yes, if you have employees. The Danish Working Environment Authority requires local extraction when working with chemicals such as hair dye, bleaching agents and styling products. If you do not have employees, the requirement is not the same, but we still recommend it for your own health. If you are unsure what applies to your salon, you can contact us, and we will help you further.
PermaVent comes as a complete, pre-assembled solution developed specifically for salons, while Alsident is known for its flexible aluminium arms and has long been a well-established name in the industry. Both are available in black and white, and in both wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted versions. If you are unsure, you can see both brands in our showroom or contact us for advice.
You can often install smaller local extraction solutions, such as a single extraction arm, yourself. The PermaVent system is pushed directly into a 100 mm spiral duct or bracket. If you are installing a larger system with ductwork and a motor for several stations, however, it should be carried out by an authorised electrician or installer to ensure that the system is correctly installed and complies with the requirements.
It depends on the number of workstations and the size of the salon. An extraction motor with a silencer is worth considering if the motor will run throughout the working day, as it significantly reduces noise levels. A speed controller allows you to adjust the power as needed instead of running the motor at full power constantly.
To maintain full performance, you should clean and maintain the extraction system regularly, as dust and particles can reduce airflow over time. We offer guidance and spare parts to help keep your extraction system working optimally.
