Last spring, Annette Bing of Family Salon in Cannon Falls, MN partnered with ISO-Aire™ to install a sophisticated indoor air purification system as part of her COVID-19 plan to re-open safely. Inside the salon’s ISO-Aire™ unit, a powerful medical-grade HEPA filter (99.99% at .3 microns) works 24/7 to capture
and destroy airborne particles from viruses, like SARS-CoV-2. The filtered air features an added benefit for salon employee Heidi Wilson, who has managed severe allergies for years, because ISO-Aire™ also effectively captures pollen, mold, VOCs, and bacteria. Here Heidi shares her experience, noting how
purified indoor air has made a significant improvement on her health and well being.
With fall in the air, those of us suffering from allergies brace ourselves as tiny airborne culprits – ragweed, mold, and dust particles – wreak havoc on our health. Hair stylist Heidi Wilson suffered from severe allergies for years, but this season is different – and greatly improved. Heidi has discovered relief
from the uncomfortable respiratory symptoms triggered by allergies ever since Family Salon in Cannon Falls, Minn. installed an ISO-Aire™.
We asked Heidi to share a bit about the improved air quality at the salon and the positive difference it has made.
Q: Family Salon installed an ISO-Aire™ unit inside your historic 1887 Yale Hardware building this past
June. Please share any changes you’ve noticed since then.
A: The changes have been quite significant! Being that our salon is located in one of Cannon Falls’
historic buildings, there are always the old-building smells. Now with ISO-Aire™ recirculating and filtering
the air 24/7, everything is fresh and clean. You almost feel re-energized when you walk in. I look forward
to going to work knowing I’ll be mostly symptom-free from my allergies for at least 8-9 hours.
Q: Knowing you manage your allergies year-round, Heidi, how has the ISO-Aire™ helped you with
your symptoms?
A: ISO-Aire™ has made the air so clean that I no long have the severe congestion and sinus pressure.
And the sneezing has been cut to a minimum.
Q: That’s wonderful news! If you were going to give the air inside Family Salon a letter grade, how
would you score it?
A: A+
Q: Have your clients noticed changes to the indoor air at Family Salon?
A: We are constantly being told how the salon smells great. The ISO-Aire™ has really helped us clear
out the old-building smell and has replaced it with clean, fresh air. I have one client who has commented
every time they’ve come in on the noticeably improved air and the removal of odors.
Q: Anything else you’d like to add, Heidi?
A: I just want to add that we are super grateful to be able to have such a wonderful ISO-Aire™ air
purification system. It helps us and our clients feel much safer coming into the salon with everything
going on in the world.
