Essential Hygiene
Proper nail salon hygiene is very important for the safety of both the nail technician and the client. There are different steps and levels in the decontamination process. The four main levels are Cleaning, Sanitizing, Disinfecting and Sterilizing
For effective decontamination, you must use liquid soap and water. It is crucial to thoroughly wash all hard surfaces, tools, and your hands and feet before beginning any service. At the start of each service, both the nail professional and the client are required to apply an alcohol-based hand sanitizer to their hands and feet.
General-purpose disinfectants effectively eliminate a wide range of pathogens and are suitable for most cleaning tasks on hard surfaces. However, they should not be used on pedicure bowls or for sanitizing metal tools. Many claim to kill 99.9% of pathogens, which can be effective when used correctly.
This is the highest level of decontamination, and it is accomplished using an autoclave with temperatures reaching 160 °C or higher. This process effectively eliminates all pathogens, including spores. The destruction of spores is a crucial aspect that sets this method apart.
Infections can spread at salons if proper hygiene and sterilization practices aren't followed; they can lead to bacterial, fungal, or blood-borne infections. You could be at risk of infections, such as exposure to Hepatitis and HIV.
We prioritize hygiene by sanitizing our hands and wearing disposable gloves for every client, especially during foot services. We change gloves between clients to prevent cross-contamination. Your safety is our top priority.
We prioritize your health and safety by using freshly laundered or disposable towels for every pedicure service. Our footbaths have single-use liners that are discarded after each use, ensuring the highest hygiene standards and a comfortable experience for all clients.

Laundered Towels
At the beginning of your service, we take the time to conduct a visual inspection of your hands and feet. We believe that your health and safety are paramount, and we are committed to ensuring that you receive the best possible care throughout your visit.
We rely on highly effective medical disinfectant wipes for surface cleaning. These pre-saturated wipes contain powerful antimicrobial solutions, guaranteeing that our workstations and tools are meticulously cleaned between clients.

Foot Spas
We utilize a foot spa equipped with disposable liners, the most hygienic and intelligent choice for your pedicure. Stagnant water in pedicure chair pipes systems can pose a significant risk, and inadequate cleaning of filters allows harmful contaminants to accumulate.
