Have you ever wondered what safety is in beauty salons? If you get manicures, whether occasionally or monthly, it is essential to pay attention to some details that can impact your health.
One of the main concerns is the hygiene of the utensils used. Paola FariaCEO of Sua Hora Unha, highlights the importance of checking whether materials, such as toothpicks and sandpaper, are disposable or reused.
“It’s common for people to focus only on cleaning tongs, but it’s essential to look at all utensils. Ask if items have been sterilized or if they’ve been used on other customers,” he advises.
To ensure a safe service, Paola Faria lists three essential points:
Choice of location:
Choosing the salon is the first step. Choose establishments that use autoclaves to sterilize instruments. “This equipment is the same used in medical practices, ensuring adequate disinfection of materials,” he explains.
Individual use of materials:
It is essential to avoid sharing utensils such as toothpicks, sandpaper and towels. Each customer must have their own items to ensure hygiene.
Protective equipment for professionals:
Professionals should use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and masks, to prevent cross-infection. “Workers have contact with various microorganisms, and protection is essential for everyone’s safety,” he concludes Paul.
When you visit a salon, your safety should be a priority. Pay attention to detail and don’t hesitate to ask questions. Taking care of your nails can be a pleasure, but it is essential to ensure that this care does not compromise your health.
