A clean salon is a happy salon! It’s really important for you to make sure your salon is staying on top of cleaning and sanitation because your clients trust you to uphold the most stringent of sanitation standards.
Because of the nature of the services offered, nail salons can sometimes come into contact with bodily fluids and bacteria that can be highly transmissible. However, by adopting a stringent cleaning checklist and procedure, you can help protect your clients, staff and reputation.
How do you make sure you cover all the bases when it comes to sanitizing and cleaning your salon? We have you covered. At Minerva Beauty, not only are we your go-to place for purchasing nail salon equipment, but we also want to be a resource for you to help you improve every aspect of your business. That’s why we have created this comprehensive nail salon sanitation checklist for your people to use before, during and at the end of every shift. From sanitizing pedicure chairs to disinfecting salon tools, not only will these cleaning to-dos keep your salon looking clean and organized, but your people and clients will also feel supported and safe.
In order to support your cleaning and sanitizing efforts, your salon will need to invest in a variety of hospital-grade disinfectants, UV sanitizers, sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer.
