Hi susiecue, I have had no trouble taking mine to the hairdressers. I let my hairdresser know I would be bringing it along the first time and have used it there for years since then. I leave it on for shampoo, brush through and drying process but I do remove it for the cut - just to avoid accidents.

I was really nervous first time at the hairdressers with an oxygen bottle, let them know when I booked in. I have a colour and highlights as well, so there 2 hours. Never been any problem.

good question and answers-we ladies need to have our hair done good luck
Been to hairdresser a couple if times with my 02 ...switched it off while getting my hair blow-dryed heat and 02 dont mix..apart from that no problems.
Wot us women go through to look good.........or half decent in my case lol!
Flames or a spark, such as from an electrical device. Heat by itself is no problem at all.
Also, there is no "boom" 
because oxygen is not an explosive. It can't start a fire either, one has to exist first. What it does is make a fire burn much more rapidly and intensely, hence the smallest glowing ember or electrical spark could quickly turn into a bonfire.
I think the potential danger from something like a hairdryer is exaggerated as it would have to be faulty to cause a problem, but better to exaggerate I suppose than the inverse. .
