Share
Cleanliness and hygiene are paramount in every professional nail salon. But which products and measures are truly essential to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for clients and employees? In this blog post, you'll learn everything you need to know about proper disinfection and hygiene in nail salons . 💅✨
💡 Why is hygiene so important in the nail salon?
✔ Protection against infections – Germs, bacteria and fungi can easily spread if hygiene is neglected.
✔ Professional appearance – A clean studio creates trust and shows that you value quality.
✔ Longer durability of materials – Regular cleaning keeps router bits, files and tools in good condition for longer.
✔ Comply with legal regulations – Hygiene is not just a recommendation, but also a legal requirement for studios.
🛠️ The most important hygiene measures for your studio
1️⃣ Disinfection of work surfaces & tools
After each treatment , tables, armrests, UV lamps, and tools should be thoroughly disinfected. Use special surface disinfectants that are effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
➡ Recommended: Alcohol-based rapid disinfectant wipes or spray disinfectant for surfaces .
2️⃣ Cleaning & sterilization of burr bits & instruments
Burr bits and metal tools such as pliers, scissors, and cuticle pushers must be cleaned and disinfected after each client. The best method is sterilization in an autoclave or hot air sterilizer . ➡ Tip: First clean burr bits with a brush, then place them in an ultrasonic bath and then sterilize.
3️⃣ Use hygienic disposable products
Files, buffers, and wooden sticks should be used individually for each client . An even more hygienic solution is removable files , where the file blade is changed after each treatment.

4️⃣ Don’t forget your hands and gloves!
Both nail technicians and clients should disinfect their hands before each treatment. Wear disposable gloves while working , especially when handling drill bits or skin.
➡ Recommended: Skin-friendly disinfectants & latex/nitrile gloves .
5️⃣ Fresh air & regular cleaning
A good ventilation system or dust extraction not only improves air quality but also protects against dust particles and chemical fumes.
➡ Tip: Air purifiers with HEPA filters can also ensure a pleasant studio climate.
