  1. All service providers shall wash their hands thoroughly with hospital grade antibacterial soap and hot water immediately before and after rendering service to each and every patron.
  2. Clients’ hands and feet shall be cleaned with soap and water or a waterless sanitizer before beginning a nail or pedicure.
  3. A clean towel shall be used for each patron.
  4. All equipment, including, but not limited to brushes, combs, clippers, scissors, razors, tweezers, comedon extractors, files, spatulas, applicators and any other item which comes in contact with a patron or model must be thoroughly sanitized after each and every separate use. The use of any implement that cannot be sanitized is prohibited.
  5. After cleansing and sanitizing, all equipment must be kept in sanitary containers, cabinets or sterilizers
  6. One of the following methods are used to sanitize instruments and equipment after use on any patron:
    • Physical Agents
      • Boiling water at 212°F for 20 minutes.
      • Steaming dry heat.
      • 70% grain or denatured alcohol for at least ten minutes.
      • Ultra-violet rays in an electrical sanitizer.
      • Immersion in 10% formalin for at least ten minutes.
    • Chemical Agents
      • Antiseptics and disinfectants (hospital grade)
      • Vapors, formalin and steri-dry
    • Bleach
          • Mix one part bleach to ten parts water (e.g., four ounces bleach to 40 ounces water; any stronger could rust metal implement). The method to be used is as follows: Rinse the implements in water first, then immerse the implement in the bleach solution, shake the implement in the bleach solution, repeat the rinse/immersion/shake process described, rinse the implement in water a final time and wipe the implement dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. A hair dryer may be used to ensure that metal implements are dry and less apt to rust. Place implement in a closed cabinet or disinfectant solution. This procedure applies to plastic, metal, steel, or rubber implements. This is the recommended infection control procedure of the Centers for Disease Control regarding all blood-borne pathogens, which includes HIV infection.
