While state safety regulations vary from state to state, using the latest and greatest technology and following best practices is one of the most reliable ways to ensure client safety from infection. It can also foster customer trust and retention, as well as provide a competitive advantage for your salon.
Dry heat sterilizers are commonly used in the medical and beauty industries. Sterilizing your tools using dry heat technology kills bacteria without moisture and will not dull or rust sharp instruments. Another perk: Dry heat sterilization works without pressure, steam or chemicals, which increases safety.
Using a dry heat sterilizer at 320 degrees F (160 degrees C) for one hour is the standard time and temperature for most dry heat sterilizers. The result: tools last longer, no rust or corrosion, and sharpness is maintained. This allows the tools to last much longer, which is more money in your pocket in the long run.
In short, proper sterilization is just as much of the nail salon experience as the aesthetics. Clients should feel comfortable in the salon knowing you have taken precautions to ensure their health and safety.
