Personal Hygiene

You as a artist, being so close to a client is very important to smell good. You want to give a good impression especially for new clients to have them coming back. You want to look professional and put together. Keep in mind of how close your face is to your clients. First thing comes to mind "does my breath smell?" Always brush your teeth or have gum/mints in your salon. You absolutely do not want your client smelling your breath the whole service. As well as body care, deodorant, perfume and lotion. You are moving your arms the whole service and don't want the client to smell bo at all if you get the sweats being stressed one day. Put perfume on in the beginning of your day, never in the salon because you don't want it to be so powerful. The salon is a relaxing place and want the smell in the salon to be minimal and not overpowering. Clean clothes everyday and hair done neat is always a plus on giving a first impression. You never want to wear a lot of jewelry due to your hands moving , your client doesn't want to hear jingles the whole service. Your hands need to be washed between every client as well.

Salon sanitation

Keeping your room or salon clean is very important. The state can come in at any given time or day. Always have opening duties and cleaning duties. Make sure everything you've used is clean at the end of the day to start your next day clean. Barbicide is very important to sanitize your metal tools. It is very important to sanitize your tools after each client. If you don't clean the tools

after and a client has a sty or infection, you can transfer that to your next client.

Tools need to be sanitized after every use. Laundry is also very important if towels are used. Towels and blankets need to be changed after every client as well as wiping your station down everyday with disinfectant wipes. If you have a bed that can be wiped, wipe it down after every client.
