Have you ever walked out of a nail salon with more than just pretty nails?"like an infection? Some salons can be breeding grounds for bacteria and germs, and even a tiny cuticle nick can result in a significant fungal problem if hygiene isn't prioritized.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, nail salons can pose health risks including bacterial infections, fungal infections like athlete's foot and nail fungus, yeast infections, and viral infections.
To ensure a pleasant and healthy salon experience, it’s important to be aware of the cleanliness and hygiene practices at your salon. Here are some tips from BTG Cosmetics Inc. to keep in mind during your next visit:
- Sanitization of Tools: Check how nail tools like clippers, cuticle scissors, and files are sanitized. Preferred methods include heat sterilization or chemical sterilization using a germicide and fungicide. Some salons go the extra mile by using freshly unwrapped nail files for each client.
- Thorough Cleaning: Make sure your nails are soaked and cleaned with soap before starting the service, and that the soap bin is properly cleaned between uses.
- Salon Environment: A neat and organized space often reflects the salon's overall practices. Verify that the salon holds current licenses and that technicians are properly trained and licensed.
- Nail Polish: Consider choosing an unopened nail polish. While many patrons focus on tool cleanliness, it's also important to think about the shared use of nail polish bottles.
"Sanitizing instruments is only part of the solution," said Ben Friedman, president of BTG Cosmetics. "Using a clean, fresh bottle of nail polish ensures your nails stay sanitary. Think of nail polish like a toothbrush?"you wouldn't want to share yours."
BTG Cosmetics has introduced a program called Toma Salon Service, now available in select nail salons across the country. Instead of using a pre-opened color, clients receive a new, unopened bottle of Toma SlimLine polish to take home after their service. If you get a chip later, you can easily fix it with your personal bottle.
