Sterilizer, pennoir and brush: 6 rules of a safe cabin

The beginning of the autumn season is a great reason not only to treat yourself to a new hairstyle, manicure or cosmetic procedure, but also to remind yourself that beauty should be safe. About what to look for when visiting a beauty salon, said Rospotrebnadzor in the Kaliningrad region.

What should be at the entrance and inside the salon

At the entrance, a sign should be placed with the company name of the organization, its legal and actual address, as well as the mode of operation. At the request of the visitor, employees are obliged to provide a price list for the services provided.

The cabin should maintain a comfortable temperature and good lighting. Surfaces of walls, ceilings and floors, as well as furniture should be smooth, resistant to treatment with disinfectants and convenient for wet cleaning.

Waste management and storage

Wet cleaning should be carried out at least twice a day. Garbage, cut hair and dirty linen are allowed to be stored only during one shift in a specially designated room.

Failure to comply with sanitary requirements increases the risk of rodents and domestic insects that can carry dangerous diseases for humans.

Hygiene of the master and tools

Before the beginning of each procedure, the master must wash his hands. Combs, brushes and scissors should be washed under running water and then disinfected or sterilized.

Manicure and pedicure tools should be disinfected by immersion in a working solution, and then sterilized. Therefore, the visitor has the right to ask how the salon handles the tools and whether there is a sterilizer in it.

Haircut and staining

When cutting or dyeing hair, the master should use a clean peñoir with a cotton napkin or a disposable collar. Cut hair from the neck and face should be removed with a clean individual napkin or cotton swab.

If a brush is used, it is important to make sure that it is disinfected after each client.

Product documents

The visitor has the right to request documents confirming the safety of the funds used. Perfume and cosmetic products must have a certificate or declaration of conformity and not be overdue.

What to do if you have doubts

Choosing a beauty salon, pay attention not only to the result of the procedure, but also to compliance with sanitary standards. And if there are questions or doubts, you can contact the territorial bodies of Rospotrebnadzor.
