-is a substance used to control micro-organisms on non-living surfaces such as tools, equipment, and furniture/ fixtures.

Disinfectant

- is an agent that prevents the multiplication of microorganisms. Since it is milder than a disinfectant, it can be used directly on the skin.

Antiseptic

Sanitization is the process of destroying some, not all microorganisms. Sterilization and sanitization techniques applied in the beauty salon involve the use of physical agents like heat and radiation; and chemical agents like antiseptics and vapor fumigants.

Sterilization and Sanitation of Nail Care Equipment and Implements


Preparation of Metal Implements for Sterilization

a. Soak the implements in hot, soapy water solution to remove any debris and oil residue. Rinse them thoroughly.

b. Place the implements in a 70% to 90% alcohol solution for 20 minutes. c. Remove the implements from solution, wipe them dry, and place them into

a dry sterilizer.

Preparation of the Sanitizing Jar

a. Cleanse the sanitizing jar with disinfectant and wipe it dry. b. Place thin layer of sterile cotton at the bottom of jar. c. Remove implements from wet or dry sanitizer and place them into the jar, handles up, except for metal nail files.

d. Fill the jar with 70% to 90% alcohol solution to cover cutting edges and tips of orangewood sticks.

Keep in mind that all tools/implements and equipment should not be used unless effectively sanitized or sterilized so as to prevent potential diseases. Ensure that all materials are neatly organized. All manicurists should maintain a high standard of personal hygiene.


It is vital to sterilize metal implements, sanitize wooden tools, and disinfect hand and foot spa machines as well as environmental surfaces before and after each use. Contaminated tools can cause bacterial and fungal infections that are unsightly, painful and sometimes, fatal. There are several methods of cleaning and sterilization. Do a cursory cleaning after each nail care service and deep-clean monthly to keep tools safe and useful all the time.

1. Sterilize metal implements after each use in a hospital-grade disinfectant that is bactericidal, virucidal, and fungicidal. This disinfectant can be found in beauty supply stores. Immerse the tools in the disinfectant for 10 minutes.

2. Disinfect foot basins after each use with a bleach solution. Make a 1-to-10 solution by mixing one part bleach with 10 parts water. Using gloves, rinse the basin with the solution to disinfect. If necessary, scrub with a detergent to remove any dirt or debris.

3. Use a boiling method of sterilization once a month to disinfect all metal implements. Designate one pot for sterilization to prevent cross-contamination with food. Submerge the tools in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain the tools and allow them to dry.

4. Store sterilized metal implements in an airtight, zipper-sealed bag to keep them from being exposed to dirt and bacteria. Be sure tools are completely dry before storing them. If waiting more than a couple of weeks before the next nail care service, sterilize the tools again before use.

5. Inspect tools and equipment regularly to identify defective ones for repair, replacement or condemnation.

1. All beauty salons must be well-lighted and well-ventilated and must be in good sanitary condition.

2. The salon premises must be free from rodents, vermin, flies or other similar insects.

3. All salon establishments must be provided with continuous running hot and cold water.

4. The curtains and floor coverings in the salon must be washable and kept clean.

5. All hair, used cotton or other waste materials must be removed from the floor immediately, and deposited in a closed container. Get rid of them from the salon premises at frequent intervals.

Safekeeping and Storage of Tools and Implements

Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe


Let us remember…

6. The rest rooms must be well-sanitized and be provided with individual towels.

7. Each beautician must wear a washable uniform while working on clients.

8. Each client must be provided with a freshly laundered towel.

9. All waste materials should be disposed of in an enclosed waste bin fitted with polythene bin liner, durable enough to resist tearing.

See to it that functional tools and equipment are stored safely in accordance with salon requirements and local health regulations. Non-functional or faulty tools and equipment are segregated and labeled properly either for repair or for discarding.

Do the following measures after every manicure service:

1. Tools which are made of plastic should be kept clean and sanitized properly in preparation for the next use.

2. Empty bottles and containers are discarded in a separate trash bin. 3. Used cosmetic products and other chemicals are stored, arranged and

properly labeled. 4. Finger bowls must be cleansed and sanitized before use for the next patron. 5. Metal tools and instruments must be sterilized following proper sterilization

techniques. After the process, store it in a dry cabinet until needed. 6. Tools/Implements which are made of porous materials such as nail files,

buffers, nail brushes and orangewood sticks can harbor bacteria easily. Since they are wood products which cannot be sterilized, these tools are disposables.

7. Waste materials should be disposed of properly in an enclosed waste container fitted with polythene bag and should be sanitized with disinfectant regularly in a well-ventilated area. Remember to wear protective gloves while doing this.

8. Contaminated wastes should be disposed of, following the right procedures prescribed by local authorities.

9. Any tool or equipment in poor condition must be repaired immediately or disposed of properly for the safety of both client and manicurist.


The activities that follow can test your ability to work as an individual and as a member in a group. Remember that you are catering people and so you need to be acquainted in the process of taking care of your clients. Go as you grow in the field of nail care.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a planned system of working to prevent illness and injury at work by recognizing and identifying hazards and risks. Health and safety procedure is the responsibility of all persons in the beauty service industries. You must identify the hazards where you are working and evaluate how dangerous they are. Eliminate the hazard or modify the risk that it presents.

Harm- is an adverse health effects on something or someone under certain conditions at work.

Risk - the chance or probability that a person will be harmed or experience an adverse health effect if exposed to a hazard.

Identifying workplace hazards means looking for those things at your workplace that have the potential to cause harm.

There are many hazards present at a beauty salon that deserves your attention.

Use this guide as a starting point for conducting a risk assessment at your facility to correct potential hazards and to keep your clients’ safety.

1) Electrical Hazard

Ask a qualified electrician to check all pieces of electrical equipment in the workplace annually or as often as possible

Common hazards in a beauty salon


Many of the electrical appliances used in the beauty salons can create serious health and safety risks, particularly in wet conditions. Damage to equipment increases this risk. Electrical shock can result in electrocution, burns, and injuries from falls.

2.) Chemical Hazard

These are substances used and/or produced at work that have the potential to harm the health and safety of people at work. Health effects of some hazardous substances include skin irritation, coughs, asthma, sensitization, poisoning and cancer 3.) Fire Hazard

As a beauty salon staff, you must be aware of and trained in fire and emergency evacuation procedures in the workplace.

4.) Biological Hazards

Biohazards also refer to biological substances that pose a threat to the health of living organisms, primarily that of humans. Micro-organisms live on skin, in food and dirt are easily spread between clients and manicurist/pedicurist and are easily transferred by contact with unwashed hands, soiled equipment or contact with blood and body substances.

5). Ergonomics

An emergency exit way will be the easiest route by which all of the clients and staff can leave the building or salon safely.

Good ventilation can get rid of the fumes and chemical smell that builds up in a salon. Use appropriate personal protective clothing (PPE).

Paying attention to how you perform these tasks can prevent many injuries, e.g. lower back, neck, wrist, and shoulder pain.

Nail technicians must assume that all blood and other body substances are potential sources of infection.


Manicurist/pedicurist use forceful repetitive movements such as filing and buffing nails and holding uncomfortable positions for long period of time, thereby increasing risk for musculoskeletal injuries.

Personal protective equipment is clothing equipment designed to be worn by a manicurist or salon workers to protect them from risks of injury or illness. It should only be considered as a control measure when exposure to a risk that cannot be minimized.

The following are personal protective clothing of a salon worker:

Gloves Eyewear

Splash proof apron Protective mask Advantages of wearing PPE at work:

a. Prevents damage to workers’ nails and skin. b. To prevent skin from absorbing potentially harmful chemicals which may

cause skin allergies, irritation, or other related problems. c. So as not to generate a lot of dust, it may be necessary to wear a dust mask

to minimize breathing in particles while filing or buffing nails. d. Protects the wearer's face and prevents the breathing of air contaminated

with chemical and/or biological agents

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at Work


Activity 1. Process Order Chart

Directions: Give the common hazards in the beauty salon and discuss briefly the advantages of observing safety in the beauty salon.

Activity 2 .Group activity

Directions: Visit a nail salon nearby your place. Use the checklist below to serve as your basis in evaluating hazards and risks in a nail salon. The checklist is consists of questions on types of occupational hazards. The questions can be answered by “YES” or “NO”. Measures that can be taken to eliminate or reduce hazard are often already indicated by questions themselves. This checklist is not intended to cover all the risks of every workplace but to help you put the method into practice.

Advantages of

observing safety in the beauty salon

Process


Does the hazard exist at the workplace?

A. Physical load and ergonomic workplace design YES NO

1. Do clients’ and nail technicians’ seats enable a good working posture for the variety of different tasks carried out by a nail technician?

Lesson 4: Manicure and Pedicure Services

Know

A. Basic Information on Hands and Nails


It is very important for a manicurist to learn and understand the anatomy and function of the nails so you could give your clients a professional and responsible service and care.

Nails are a part of the skin and are made up of the same protein, keratin (KER-a-tin), as skin and hair. It is composed of then hardest keratin. The technical term for nail in onyx ( ON-iks). The purpose of nails is to protect the ends of fingers and toes and to help the fingers grasp small objects. Adult fingernails grow at an average rate of 1/8 inch a month; toenails grow more easily. The characteristics of healthy nails are smooth, shiny, and translucent pink. Its surface is smooth, curved, and unspotted, without any hollows or wavy ridges.

Normally, nails replace themselves every four months and grow more quickly in summer than in winter. The nail grows fastest on the middle finger and slowest on the thumb.

The entire nail structure consists of the parts of the actual nail and structures of skin beneath and surrounding the nail.

Below is the diagram of the nail and its structure.

The actual nail consists of the nail body, nail root, and free edge.

Structure of Nails


Nail body or Plate - is the main part or plate of nail that is attached to the skin at the tip of the finger.

Nail root - is where the nail growth begins. It is embedded underneath the skin at the base of the nail.

Free edge - is the end of the nail that extends beyond the fingertip.

Structure Beneath the Nail

The structures beneath the nail include the nail bed. matrix, and lunula.

Nail Bed is the portion of skin beneath the nail body that the nail plates rest upon. Its is supplied with blood vessels that provide the nourishment necessary for nail growth. The nail bed also contains nerves.

Matrix (May-triks) contains nerves together with lymph and blood vessels that produce the nail cells and control the rate of growth of the nails. It is located under the nail root. The matrix is the very sensitive part of the nail and if injured will produce nails with irregular growth and disorders.

Note: Be careful not to apply excessive pressure to this area during a manicure.

Lunula is the light-colored half-moon shape at the base of the nail. This is where the matrix connects with the nail bed.

Skin Surrounding the nail

The skin surrounding the nail includes the cuticle, nail fold, nail grooves, nail wall, eponychium, perionychium, and hyponychium.

Cuticle( KYOO-ti-kel) is the overlapping skin around the nail. A normal cuticle should be loose and pliable.

Nail Fold Or Mantle (MAN-tel) is the deep fold or skin at the base of the nail where the nail root is embedded.

Nail Grooves are slits or tracks in the nail bed at the sides of the nail on which the nail grows.

Nail Wall is the skin on the sides of the nail above the grooves. Eponychium (ep-o-NIK-ee-um) is the thin line of skin at the base of the nail

that extends from the nail wall to the nail plate. Perionychium (PER-i-o-nikee-um) is the part of the skin that surrounds the

entire nail area. Hyponychium (heye-poh-NIK-ee-um) is the part of the skin under the free

edge of the nail.


The shapes of your nail should conform to your fingertips. Below are the different shapes of the nail:

1. Oval Nail

It is common among people with long, perfect nail beds. It may be styled slightly rounded at the base and slightly pointed at the fingertips. Most often this type of nail has a natural look and looks very good in short-medium length.

2. Square nail

It is created by allowing the nail to grow out straight and then filing the tip straight across at right angles with the rest of the nail plate.

3. Round Nail

This is ideal for shorter nails. The nail is ideal to grow out at the sides for approximately 1.5 mm and then the tip is filed into a rounded shape. This is a strong shape which is great for those who keep their nails short.

4. Squoval Nail

The squoval nail is a square nail but the softer edges of an oval.

5. Pointed Nail

A pointed nail is filed away at the sides to a point at the tip; this shape is very weak as the sides of the nail (which provide the strength) are totally lost.

Oval nail Square nail Round nail Squoval nail Pointed nail

Shapes of Nail


Have you ever seen a person with nail disorder or disease?

Our bodies host a variety of microorganisms, some of which are beneficial to us. These microorganisms also include bacteria and fungi. Fungal infections are caused by microscopic plants that live on our skin and on the dead tissue of our hair and nails. This is called nail diseases.

Nail diseases are conditions of both the nail, and the surrounding skin which result from bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Some conditions will show a green, yellow, or black discoloration of the nail, depending on the nature of the infection. The main course of infection is through damaged cuticles and broken skin.

Nail disorder, on the other hand is a condition caused by injury to the nail or disease or imbalance in the body.

As a nail technician, it is very important for you to learn how to recognize the symptoms of nail disorders so you can make a responsible decision about whether you should perform a service on your client.

An inflammation is red and sore. An infection will have evidence of pus. Broken skin or nail tissue is a cut or tear that exposes deeper layers of these structures. Raised or swollen skin appears fatter than normal skin and rise above the normal level.

The golden rule is that, if the nail or skin to be worked on is infected, inflamed, broken, or swollen, a manicurist/pedicurist should not render his/her service to the client, instead refer him/her to a dermatologist.

Onychosis is a technical term applied to nail disease.

Nail Diseases and Disorders


The following are the nail disorders that can be serviced by a nail technician.

Nail Disorders Appearance Characteristics 1. Bruised Nail

A condition in which a clot of blood forms under the nail plate caused by injury to the nail bed. Give gentle manicure. May need to refer to a medical practitioner

2. Discolored nails

A condition in which the nails turn a variety of colors including yellow, blue, blue-grey, green, red & purple. It is caused by poor blood circulation, heart condition, or topical or oral medication. Application of colored nail polish can hide this condition.

3. Eggshell Nail

Nail plate is thin, white, and curved over the free edge. The condition is caused by improper diet, internal disease, medication, or nervous disorders. Give gentle manicure; do not use pressure with a metal pusher at the base of the nail.

4. Hangnails

A condition which the cuticle around the nails splits. It is caused by dry cuticles or cuticles that have been cut too close to the nail. This condition can be improved by softening the cuticles with oil and trimming the cuticles with nippers. Hangnails are also called agnail. Give gentle manicure with emphasis on cuticle work.


5. Leukonychia

A condition in which spots appear on the nails. It is caused by air bubbles, a bruise, or other injury to the nail.

6. Onychatrophia or atrophy of the nail

The wasting away of the nail, causing it to lose its lustre and become smaller. The nail can also shed completely. This condition is mainly caused by injury or disease. Manicure gently, if the condition is not severe.

7. Onychauxis or Hypertrophy

An overgrowth of the nail caused by internal imbalance, local infection, or heredity.

8.Onychocryptosis (Ingrown Nails)

The nail grows into the sides of the flesh and may cause infection. Incorrect trimming and shaping of nails are often responsible for ingrown nails. Do not manicure or pedicure, if infection is present. Refer to medical practitioner.

9. Onychorrexis

It is a split or brittle nails, caused by injury to the finger or exposure to harsh chemicals. You may give oil manicures to improve the condition.

10. Nevus

A brown or black stain on the nail caused by a pigmented mole that occurs in the nail. Application of colored polish can hide this disorder.


12.Onychopagy ( Bitten Nails)

A medical term for nails that have been bitten enough to become deformed. Regular manicure may help to stop nail biting.

13. Pterygium

Common condition of the forward growth of the cuticle. The cuticle sticks to the nail and, if not treated, will grow over the nail to the free edge. Do not attempt to remove the wing of skin as it is quite possible that there is no nail plate growth under the wing.

14. Onycholysis

A condition in which the nail loosens from the nail bed, beginning usually at the free edge and continuing to the lunula, but does not come off. If possible, keep the nail short to avoid the free edge “catching” on things and resulting in further separation. Refer to a medical practitioner, if it is permanent.

The following are nail diseases that cannot be serviced by a nail technician or manicurist:

NAIL DISEASES

APPEARANCE CHARACTERISITICS

4. Onychomycosis ( tinea unguium)

An infectious disease caused by a fungus (vegetable parasite). A common form is whitish patches that can be scraped off the surfaces.

5.Onychoptosis

During the consultation with your client, discuss her needs and adapt the service suited to her. You should cover preferred nail length, shape, and the type of polish required. If there are no contra-indications present with your client, you are ready to begin your service.

The following are the steps in giving a manicure:

1. Remove old polish. Gently remove old polish on the nails with nail polish remover (acetone) in a piece of cotton without smearing the old polish into the cuticle or surrounding tissue.

2. Shape the nails. Using your emery board, shape the nails as you and your client have agreed. Discuss with the client the nail shape suited for him or her. File the nails of the left hand, starting with the little finger and working towards the thumb.

Procedure for a Basic Manicure


3. Soften cuticle. After filing left hand, put it in your soap bath to soak and soften cuticles while you file the right hand

4. Dry fingertips. Holding a towel with both hands, carefully dry the left hand, including the area between the fingers. As you dry, gently push back the cuticle.

5. Apply cuticle remover. Wind a thin layer of cotton around the blunt edge of an orangewood stick for use as an applicator. Apply cuticle solvent around the cuticle of the left hand.

6. Loosen Cuticle. Use the spoon end of the cuticle pusher to gently push back and lift cuticle off the nails of the left hand. Use a circular movement to left the cuticles that cling to the nail plate.

7. Trim Cuticle. Use your cuticle nipper to remove dead cuticles, uneven cuticle or hangnails. In cutting the cuticle, be careful to remove it as a single segment.


8. Clean under free edge. Use a cotton-tipped orangewood stick, dipped in soapy water to clean under free edge, working from the center toward each side, employing gentle pressure. Note: Remove right hand over soap bath and brush a last time to remove bits of cuticle traces of solvent. Then let the client rest the left hand on the sanitized towel.

9. Buff the nail (optional). Starting with the roughest grit side of the buffer, begin to buff your nails with a gentle, side-to-side motion. At first, just aim to smooth out major ridges.

10. Re-examine nails and cuticles. Carefully examine the nails for defects. Use the fine side of an emery board to give the nails a smooth beveled edge. Remove remaining pieces of cuticle.

11. Apply hand and arm massage. Apply hand lotion all over the hand and arm up to the elbow. Gently massage the hands and fingers as this procedure can help increase blood circulation and make the hand softer.

12. Remove traces of oil. Remove traces of oil from the nail so the polish will adhere better. Use small piece of cotton saturated with alcohol or polish remover and wipe off the nail.


13. Apply base coat. Apply base coat to the left hand with long strokes, starting with the little finger and working toward the thumb. Let it dry for a few seconds.

14. Apply colored polish. Apply two coats of colored polish with the same technique used for the base coat. Complete your first color coat on both hands before starting the second coat. If you get polish on the cuticle, use a cotton-tipped orangewood stick saturated with nail polish remover to clean it off.

15. Apply top coat. Apply one coat of sealer or top coat to prevent chipping and to give nails a glossy look.

16. Apply instant nail dry-optional.

Activity

Compute for the cost of service of Rona through the following

variables given.

a. Tools and Materials - 1200.00 b. Transportation - 500.00 c. Working days - 6 days d. Desired profit - 50%

Computing the cost of service


As a professional manicurist, it is very important that you know how to calculate and compute the cost of your manicuring service. Sooner or later, you will put up your own salon or set up your own manicure service. In this lesson you will learn how to calculate the cost of your manicuring service.

The following are steps to determine the cost of service rendered:

1. Compute all the cost of implements,supplies, and tools needed for manicuring service.

2. Add the operating expenses like transportation and rental of equipment. 3. Set your percentage of profit whether its 75%, 50%, or 30% 4. After adding the expenses, operating expenses and the percentage, divide by

the number of working days

Below is the formula: CS= Total expenses + % of Profit ÷ Number of working days

Legend: CS - Cost of service OE - Operating Expenses

Total expenses includes materials,supplies and tools. Sample computation of basic manicure service: 1. Cost of supplies, cosmetics and tools: Cuticle remover - 25.00 Acetone -100.00 Nail polish 6 colors - 350.00 Base coat & top coat - 78.00 Cuticle oil - 24.00 Quick dry - 49.50 Lotion/cream - 79.50 Alcohol - 25.00 Cotton - 18.00 2. Operating Expenses: Transportation - 500.00 ( 100/day) Total expenses - 1,249.00 3. Percentage of profit desired - 50% 4. Number of working days - 5 days Formula: Cost of service= Total expenses + % of profit ÷ number of working days CS = 1,249.00+ 624.50(50%)÷5 working days CS = 1,873.50 ÷5 CS = 374.70/day
