SALON HYGIENE BASICS

Salon hygiene is crucial for maintaining a clean and safe environment for customers and staff. Here are some basic salon hygiene practices that should be followed:

Hand Hygiene

All salon staff should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after each client. Alternatively, they can use alcohol-based hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol content.

Equipment Sanitization

All salon tools and equipment should be properly sanitized and disinfected between each client. This includes combs, brushes, scissors, clippers, nail files, and other reusable tools. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for disinfection or use an appropriate disinfectant solution.

Surface Cleaning

Clean and disinfect all work surfaces, such as countertops, tables, chairs, and spa beds, regularly throughout the day. Use effective disinfectants against a wide range of pathogens and follow the instructions for proper use.

Disposable Items

Use disposable items like single-use towels, capes, and gloves whenever possible. This helps minimize the risk of crosscontamination.

Laundering

Clean and wash towels, capes, and other fabric items after each use in hot water with detergent. Use bleach or an appropriate disinfectant to ensure proper sanitization.
