At home, people lose vigilance about personal hygiene, preferring to visit beauty salons for various services, such as manicures, pedicures, cosmetic procedures and hair removal. However, this is associated with certain health risks, as beauty salons can be a source of various dangerous diseases.
One of the most common problems is hepatitis. Hepatitis B and C viruses can live in the air and be transmitted when nails are damaged during manicure. This virus can remain on tools and materials, so it is important to pay attention to sterility and compliance with hygienic standards.
Fungus is another threat, especially with pedicures. This persistent microorganism can remain on various instruments and equipment, passing from client to client.
Human papilloma virus can also be spread in beauty salons, especially in places where feet are treated. Poor disinfection can lead to infection with this virus.
Bacterial infections can also be transmitted through various items used in salons. This can lead to infections such as impetigo, characterized by the appearance of red spots and crusts on the skin.
In addition, there is a risk of HIV infection in manicure salons due to untreated tools. It is important that craftsmen follow all disinfection rules and use disposable materials to ensure the safety of customers.
