The mist tube 18 is connected to an ionizer for sterilization and deodorization, and an ozonizer 19, and various bacteria, medicinal odors and chemicals contained in the warm mist are decomposed to remove the purified odor. No warm mist is sent to the face mist tube 21 and the hair mist tube 22.

The face and hair are sprayed with a hot mist sprayed from the nozzle body 4 connected to the mist hoses 2 and 2 through the face mist pipe 21 and the hair mist pipe 22 to perform facial and hair dressing. However, at this time, a part of the hot mist adheres to the inner surface side of the mist spray port 4a of the nozzle body 4, condenses, grows and becomes water droplets, and flows down the inner wall surface of the nozzle body 4,
Since a ridge portion 5a having a substantially mountain-shaped cross section as a non-dripping portion 5 is formed on the inner surface of the rim of the mist spray port 4a, water droplets that flow are transmitted from the mist spray port 4a by the ridge portion 5a functioning as a weir. Since the water flows toward the condensed water storage unit 4c without dripping to the outside and is stored in the condensed water storage unit 4c, the water droplets dripping from the mist spray port 4a hit the head or face of the subject and cause discomfort. In addition, the hair dye solution or the hair color solution, which has just dyed the hair, is not washed away by dripping water droplets, and color unevenness does not occur. Further, there is no danger that the water droplets dripping from the nozzle body 4 adhere to the clothes of the subject to wet the clothes and leave stains.

In the case of hair dressing, especially when a hair cap or the like is used, shampoo, cut,
The odor of the medicine such as rinsing, treatment, hair growth, and hair dye may be transferred from the mist tube 22 for hair to the mist tube 18, or the condensed water containing the medicine may flow back into the mist tube 22 for hair. However, the condensed water that has flowed back into the hair mist pipe 22 is collected by the dew condensation water collecting mechanism 23 connected to the mist pipe 18, and does not flow back to the mixing tank 17 a. The transferred odor or the like is eliminated by the ionization device for sterilization and deodorization provided in the mist tube 18 and the ozonization device 19, so that the warm mist and the odor of the medicine mixed from the facial mist tube 21 are removed. No warm mist is sprayed. Then, the condensed water contaminated by the chemicals collected by the condensed water collecting mechanism 23 is stored in the collection tank 24 through the drain pipe 24c. Then, when the dew condensation water in the collection tank 24 becomes full and the water level notification mechanism 24a is activated, an alarm is issued by a buzzer or a lamp, so that the user may open the drain valve 24b to discharge the dew condensation water.

In the preferred embodiment, the nozzle body 4 is detachably attached to the mist hose 2 via the mist hose connection part 4b. When the condensed water is filled in the condensed water storage part 4c, the nozzle body 4 is removed. Although the water in the condensed water storage part 4c is discarded by removing from the mist hose 2, the bottom of the condensed water storage part 4c is formed in a tapered funnel shape, and a drain hose is connected to the funnel-shaped end opening. The condensed water flowing into the condensed water reservoir 4c is continuously discharged, or the on-off valve connected to the drain hose is manually opened and closed to discharge the condensed water intermittently when the condensed water is accumulated. The work may be simplified to improve workability. In the preferred embodiment, the ridges 5a of the drip stoppers 5 surround the mist spray ports 4a. However, the ridges 5a in the lower half where condensed water is less likely to flow to the outside.
Needless to say, the case in which the enclosing of “a” may be eliminated is of course. Further, in the preferred embodiment, the drip stopper 5 is formed by the ridge 5a.
However, it is a matter of course that the same effect can be obtained even if the drip preventing portion 5 is formed as a concave groove. Further, the anti-droop portion 5 may be formed in a wavy shape in which a plurality of ridges and concave grooves are alternately formed,
The height of the ridge and the depth of the groove are increased, and the mist spray port 4a is formed.
Of course, it may be possible to more reliably prevent the condensed water from dripping. Further, in the preferred embodiment, the facial mist tube 21 and the hair mist tube 22 are separated and used for shampoos, cuts, rinses, treatments, hair growth, hair dyes, etc., which are used for hair dressing. However, if the absorbent 5 is mixed with an odor adsorbent such as activated carbon, the odor of the medicine is absorbed, so that the facial mist tube 21 and the hair mist tube 22 are The same mist tube can be shared without dividing. Further, in the preferred embodiment, the dew condensation water collecting mechanism 23 is provided, but it is a matter of course that a beauty and barber apparatus without the dew condensation water collecting mechanism 23 may be provided. Further, in the preferred embodiment, the mist generator 7 generates the warm mist as being composed of the mist generator 7a and the steam generator 7b, but sprays the mist generated by the mist generator 7a. Of course, the steam mist generated by the steam generator 7b may be sprayed.
