WHY SHOULD I WEAR GLOVES AS A NAIL TECHNICIAN?

You should wear gloves because of:

HYGIENIC REASONS

CHEMICAL EXPOSURE

BLOOD TRANSMISSION RISKS

 FUNGAL INFECTIONS

 BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS

Nail technicians can be exposed to blood borne diseases such as hepatitis, HIV and other infectious diseases.

If a client’s skin is pierced or broken and the nail technician comes into contact with infected blood, technician can contract these potentially life-threatening diseases.

Nail technicians can be exposed to fungal infections that rest on a customer's finger and toenails.

Other infections that can be transmitted during manicure are:

-Spots, boils, abcesses, impetigo

-Paronychia– bacterial infection

-Onycholysis– due to fungal infections

-Scabies

-Warts

-Ringworm
