The concept of beauty has undergone sea change from the ancient times when
Cleopatra used honey and milk for bathing. Nowadays, Beauty Salons and Hair/Nail
saloons employees as well as customers are exposed to greater risk of various
kind of cancers, neurological diseases such as dementia and depression, immune
diseases, birth defects, reproductive disorders including a high rate of
miscarriages, skin diseases, asthma and other breathing problems, as the
workers are exposed to toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde. The reason for such health hazards are that
many products used in hair and nail salons contain a number of harmful chemicals
that may pose health risks to you and your clients?
Under current circumstances, some harmful chemicals may be difficult to
avoid in salon work, due to the current lack of viable alternatives. Moreover,
lack of ingredient disclosure directly on product labels compounds the problem.
It is best to have an engaging session with your hair stylist or manicurist. If
possible, start a conversation about switching to a safer alternative, both for
her health and yours.
For protection from these chemicals,
the best advice is to reduce your exposure as much as possible by:
Ensuring good ventilation in the salon
Keeping trash cans tightly closed
Using small amounts of the product when performing services
Wearing nitrile gloves and protective clothing
Washing hands before and after use
