Overview

Acrylic nail application is one of the most popular salon services — but it involves strong chemicals like monomer and polymer that require careful handling. Without proper ventilation and safety procedures, these products can irritate the skin, eyes, or lungs, and even trigger allergic reactions. Following safe working practices ensures client satisfaction, staff wellbeing, and full compliance with UK health and safety standards. Knowing how to control fumes, handle chemicals, and dispose of waste correctly is essential for a professional, safe salon environment.
