  intro: "Most nail infections and fungal issues traced back to a salon come from one of three sources: reused implements that weren't properly sterilised, buffers and files that were used on multiple clients, and foot baths that weren't drained and cleaned between customers. None of these are visible on the surface of a well-decorated salon. The correlation between how a salon looks and how hygienic it actually is weak. A busy, well-reviewed salon can be cutting corners on sterilisation because the turnover pressure is high and no one has complained yet. A modest-looking salon can be running autoclave sterilisation on every metal implement because the owner understands infection risk. The questions to ask are specific. The visual cues to look for are specific. This section covers both — what the standards actually are, what equipment is required for proper sterilisation, and what you are entitled to ask before anyone touches your nails.",

For implements that break the skin or work near it (cuticle nippers, pushers, clippers), sterilisation is the correct standard. For porous implements — files, buffers — sterilisation is not possible. The correct protocol for porous implements is single-use: a fresh file and buffer for each client, disposed of or given to the client to take home. If a salon is re-filing with the same buffer, that's the primary cross-contamination risk.",
