The salon owner in Tucson who banned dry shampoo, can you believe it?

So I was in Tucson last month visiting my sister and popped into this small salon to get a trim while I was there. The stylist was super nice, but I overheard the owner talking to another client about their new policy. No dry shampoo allowed in the building at all. She said it ruins the scalp health and leaves residue on brushes and tools that's a nightmare to sanitize. I kinda get the tool part, but telling clients they can't use it felt wild to me. I use it all the time on my own hair between washes, and I recommend it to clients with oily roots all the time. Is this a thing anyone else has seen? Do you guys think banning products in your chair is reasonable or just controlling? I'm genuinely curious how other cosmetologists handle this kind of rule.

My home salon banned it two years ago after our stylists kept finding buildup on their shears and clipper blades that no amount of spray sanitizer would touch. I get the owner being strict about tools, but flat out banning it for clients is too far. Instead we just have a rule that you can only use it in the back room near the sink, not at the styling chairs, and we keep a few disposable applicator brushes for people who really need it. That way the cleaning issue is solved without telling paying customers what they can do with their own hair.
