Start with your busiest towel day
Look at the day when towels pile up fastest. For many salons, that is the day before a weekend, a colour-heavy day, or the day with the most back-to-back appointments.
Weekly pickup works for steady small shops
A weekly rhythm can work when towel volume is predictable and there is enough storage for clean towels between pickups.
Multi-day pickup helps when towels interrupt staff
If staff are loading machines during appointments or folding towels after closing, the schedule is probably too light. A second pickup can protect busy days and reduce last-minute towel shortages.
