A ventilating and sanitizing lamp for use in a nail salon with a visible light source and a germicidal light source in a hood connected to a elongated hollow member. Heat from the visible light source effects convective air flow from the hood out of the elongated hollow member. An impeller positioned in the elongated hollow member above the visible light source and below the germicidal light source assists the convective air through the elongated hollow member. Air laden with dust and chemicals is pulled into the hood and out of a nail technician's breathing zone together with any bacteria, molds and viruses which are deactivated by the germicidal light source before the air is expelled above the heads of the operator and his or her client.

An adjustable hair covering includes a body member with at least one channel, a draw string and a fixing member. The body member includes a top opening and an enclosed space for storing a user's hair. The channel extends from the body member top end and to a position intermediate the body member top and bottom ends. The second end of the channel includes a channel opening. The draw string is operably coupled with the body member top end and positioned within the channel with the draw string extending from the channel opening. The fixing member is releasably coupled to the draw string so that in an extended state the draw string length is greater than the channel length, and in a retracted state the draw string length is less than the channel length, thereby reducing the distance between the top and bottom ends of the body member.
