Nail Hygiene Standards

Cleanliness is the foundation of every professional nail salon. Proper hygiene protects clients and staff from infections such as fungal growth, bacterial contamination, and even bloodborne viruses. Maintaining strict cleaning and sterilisation standards builds client trust and keeps your salon compliant with UK health and safety regulations. Poor hygiene practices — like reusing tools without cleaning or skipping handwashing — can quickly lead to infection outbreaks and damage your salon's reputation. Understanding disinfection, tool care, and cross-contamination prevention keeps everyone safe and confident in your services.
