I don’t want to take away from the relaxing “me time” you like to have at your favorite nail salon, but if you’re not careful, it can quickly turn into a nightmare. Robert Urfer, creator of Lucas-Cide Salon and Spa Disinfectant, below offers five tips for a safe and enjoyable visit to the nail salon.
Please show up for your appointment 15 minutes early.
You may not want to sit still for another 15 minutes, but Urfer says it’s the only way to check the hygiene of your salon. Check to see if salon staff are taking extra precautions to sterilize their tools and equipment. “If trash cans are overflowing and dust is collecting on shelves, don’t trust footbaths and nail clippers to be sanitary.”
Check the salon’s certification.

Even if it’s just a piece of paper, this says a lot about the credibility of the salon and its willingness to accept responsibility if something unfortunate happens. This should be displayed on the wall next to the door so customers can easily see it.
Examine whether the salon disinfects its tools.
Some salons use UV sterilizers, which are devices that look like toaster ovens, but Urfer says they don’t adequately kill microorganisms. “Make sure they clean their tools with a strong liquid disinfectant and that the solution does not appear cloudy or cloudy. Also ask if they test you periodically with test strips.”
Examine the cleanliness of pedicure tubs.

After each use, do technicians clean and disinfect footbaths? If so, are they doing it correctly? Be sure to have professionals wash the tub with hot soapy water, he advises. “Then it must be refilled with water with the appropriate amount of disinfectant. It should be left running for at least 10 minutes before emptying and cleaning.”
Make sure both your hands and the nail technician’s hands are clean.
Make sure your nail technician cleans their hands before beginning any filler or acrylic nail procedures. You should also wash your hands with an antibacterial gel or spray.
Of course, you can’t go to a nail salon without preparing some design options. Below are the 36 best nail designs that we have carefully selected. Let’s pick your favorites and take them to the salon with you!
