Sterilisation in the Beauty Industry in UK & Ireland

Why Is Sterilisation Important for  Beauty Salons or hairdressers? In a salon, the clients safety should always be the main concern. We trust the hairdresser or beauty therapist to care for us to make our experience better, but there is also a duty of care to the best of their abilities. While cross-infections acquired in many setting  the beauty and hair industry receive far less attention. This is why sterilisation is so important.

Bloodborne pathogens can survive on objects like nail-file, make-up brushes, scissors, tweezers, sponges, hair care, nail care, eye  treatments, waxing and other beauty equipment for up to one week, which is why surfaces and equipment must be properly sterilised before they can be reused. In between clients in therapist salon or hair salon need to ensure all equipment is properly sterilised. This will help prevent the spread of infections and diseases or virus between people. Furthermore, sterilising reusable equipment can also help, save money and resources and maker for a greener way of life. Rather than continuously buying single-use equipment and wasting money and resources, with the right sterilisation process, hairdressers and beauty therapist offices can simply reuse equipment. This allows them to spend resources elsewhere and provide better care to their patients.
