Salon Hygiene As a Therapist salon hygiene is good practice for your

own health, your clients’ health and your colleagues health

Beauty Therapy treatments demand close human contact, so care must be taken to provide the maximum protection against cross-infection

Micro-organisms – are organisms that are too small to be seen by the naked eye, they can cause different

types of infection

Controlling Micro-organisms in the Salon

• Antiseptic - chemicals which destroy the growth of micro-organisms on living tissues, helping to prevent infection

• Autoclave – a piece of equipment that is used to sterilise small metal equipment. It works by heating distilled water under pressure to a higher temperature than 100 Degree Celsius

Controlling Micro-organisms in the Salon

• Barbicide – a blue liquid chemical that kills bacteria but not necessarily the spores, so reproduction may still take place

• Ultraviolet cabinets – UV cabinets use an ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria the tools we use. Tools have to be clean and dry before putting into the cabinet, and turned regularly because the rays only clean the surface of the tool

Controlling Micro-organisms in the Salon

Sterilisation – is the complete destruction of all living micro-organisms and their spores

Sanitisation – is a term relating to health and the measures for the protection of health, that is to be

free of dirt and germs, and to be hygienic
