Overview

Nail fungus (onychomycosis) is one of the most common nail conditions salons encounter. It can appear as yellowing, thickening, or separation of the nail from the bed. While salons cannot diagnose or treat fungal infections, technicians play a key role in identifying early signs and preventing spread. Recognising potential infections early and maintaining strict hygiene protects both clients and staff. Prevention is always better than cure — and it's part of a responsible salon's duty of care to follow safe practices.
