What is the best way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases in a salon?

Proper sanitation and disinfection practices are essential in preventing the spread of infectious diseases in a salon environment. This involves cleaning tools and surfaces thoroughly to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can be transmitted through skin contact or contaminated implements. Disinfectants should be used according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure effectiveness, which includes appropriate contact time and concentration.

While wearing gloves can create a barrier between the skin and potential contaminants, it does not replace the need for proper sanitation. Similarly, using disposable tools can help reduce risk, but it is not always practical or necessary for all services offered in a salon setting. Candles, while they may enhance the atmosphere, do not contribute to health and safety measures against infectious diseases. In contrast, implementing comprehensive sanitation and disinfection protocols is the most reliable method to safeguard both clients and practitioners.
