"I used the Pearlescent® nitrile gloves in the salon while applying hair colour. These gloves were super comfortable...a great fit actually, normally when I rinse hair colour water will get inside my gloves....these kept the water out as they were snug around my wrists. I loved that they had no powder. Clients and other staff commented on the colour of the gloves and the sheen."
