MEDICAL STATION AND SUPPLIES

We do not provide gloves. Good Guy Supply will have gloves available for purchase. 

In an effort to reduce waste GGS has implemented a “Medical Station” at this show and many others in Canada. This method reduces waste by up to 50%! You will have ARTISTS Packs in your booth on the day of the show. These are generally good for 2/3 clients. After that you go to the Medical Station and request whatever you need.

Please be aware that the show staff will give you a few items at your request. We won’t run out so go back when you need more supplies. Please don’t try to horde supplies, they are always available. 

Distilled water is accessible from the reservoir in the Artist Area. Bring your wash bottle over and fill up soap (premix) and distilled water. This initiative reduces plastic and saves 700 bottles from the landfill. 

Sharps containers are provided. Please leave them in your booth at the end of the show. 

Supplies provided are as follows

  • Drape Sheets, Dental bibs, rinse cups.
  • Biodegradable: the “GOOD” Bottle Bags, Machine bags, Clip Cord Sleeves, Pen 
  • Sleeves, Ink Caps (S, M, Lg, XL).
  • Garbage Can, Garbage Bags (will be changed by staff).
  • Per 10 ft booth: 1 8ft table draped, 1 6ft Table covered and

Waivers: (LINK) Your clients will have age approval at the doors and have a wristband for such. Each client is to fill out our Waiver listed online. (LINK) Clients are 18 and older only. You will have QR code signs in your booth for easy referral.
