Sterilization and Sanitation of Nail Care Equipment and Implements
Sterilization is the process of

destroying all living microorganisms.
Disinfectant
-is a substance used to
control micro-organisms on
non-living surfaces such as
tools, equipment, and
furniture/ fixtures.
vs.
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.
vs.
Antiseptic
- is an agent that prevents the
multiplication of microorganisms.
Since it is milder than a
disinfectant, it can be used directly
on the skin.
Preparation of Equipment to be Sanitized

a. Read directions on disinfectant.
b. Measure and mix the disinfectant as directed.
c. Saturate a cleaning cloth with disinfectant solution and wipe entire surface
area of equipment.
d. Wipe the surface dry with paper towel to dry it.
e. Dispose of sanitizing solution and used towels.
Page 24
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.
Page 25
Safekeeping and Storage of Tools and Implements

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.
Keeping the Workplace Clean and Safe
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.
Page 26
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.
Let us remember
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.

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.
Common hazards in a beauty salon
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
Page 33
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
Good ventilation can get rid

of the fumes and chemical
smell that builds up in a
salon.
Use appropriate personal
protective clothing (PPE).
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
An emergency exit way will be

the easiest route by which all of
the clients and staff can leave
the building or salon safely.
As a beauty salon staff, you must be aware of and trained in fire and emergency
evacuation procedures in the workplace.
4.) Biological Hazards
Nail technicians must assume

that all blood and other body
substances are potential
sources of infection.
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
Paying attention to how you perform
these tasks can prevent many
injuries, e.g. lower back, neck, wrist,
and shoulder pain.
Page 34
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 (PPE) at Work
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
Splash proof apron
a.
b.
c.
d.
Eyewear
Protective mask
Advantages of wearing PPE at work:

Prevents damage to workers nails and skin.
To prevent skin from absorbing potentially harmful chemicals which may
cause skin allergies, irritation, or other related problems.
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.
Protects the wearer's face and prevents the breathing of air contaminated
with chemical and/or biological agents

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.
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.
Page 36
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?
2. Does the amount of working space cause uncomfortable working postures?
3. Do nail technicians work in solid shoes (without heels) that give good support
and enable a good working posture?
4. Do nail technicians complain about the climate or smell in the salon?
5. Is there sufficient light for safe and efficient task performance?
B. Working with chemicals hazards
1. Are all information about the hazards of the chemicals available and known
to all employees?
2. Are employees sufficiently protected from exposure to chemical ?
3. Are the manufacturers safety instructions followed?
4. Have employees been instructed on working safely with dangerous
materials?
5. Are protective gloves routinely being used for chemical tasks and for
cleaning tasks by all employees?
6. Are all employees instructed in the use of, and encouraged to use, protective
gloves and creams?
C. Electrical risks, slips, trips, and falls
1.
Are the floors slippery and dirty, during work time?
2.
Are aisles or passageways tidy free from cords, electrical cables and
extension boards lying on the floor?
3. Do the employees wear slippery shoes?

4. Is electrical equipment (foot spa machine) used according to the suppliers
safety instruction?
5.
Are the electrical devices and cables undamaged and regularly examined?
6. Are electrical devices protected against splash water?

Page 37
As a manicurist, you have a sense of duty for your own health

and safety at work. You have the responsibility to follow safety
instructions in the workplace. You also have to take all the
reasonable care not to put your client at risk.
Activity 3. Identifying Hazards and Risks
Directions: Look for hazards and risks that might be present in your salon. Place a
sticker whenever you find possible hazards inside your workplace.
Identify and give the possible risks that might happen.

Structure of 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.
Page 40
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.
Page 41
Shapes of Nail
The shapes of your nail should conform to your fingertips. Below are the
different shapes of the nail:
Oval nail
Square nail
Round nail
Squoval nail
Pointed 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.
Page 42
Nail Diseases and Disorders

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.
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.
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.
Onychosis is a technical term applied to nail disease.
Page 43
The following are the nail disorders that can be serviced by a nail technician.
Nail Disorders
1. Bruised Nail
Appearance
Characteristics
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
3. Eggshell Nail
4. Hangnails
A condition in which the nails

turn a variety
of colors
including yellow, blue, bluegrey, 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.
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.
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.
Onychauxis or
Hypertrophy
An overgrowth of the nail

caused by internal imbalance,
local infection, or heredity.

and shaping of nails are often
responsible for ingrown nails.
Do not manicure or pedicure, if
infection is present. Refer to
medical practitioner.
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.
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
A medical term for nails that

have been bitten enough to
become deformed. Regular
manicure may help to stop nail
biting.
( Bitten Nails)
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.
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.

Hand massage is the manipulation of the hands to relax the client and ease
the discomfort prior to the application of nail polish. It is generally carried out near
the end of the manicure treatment just prior to the application of nail polish. It can
also be carried out on its own if the client wants the effect of the massage but does
not need nail treatment.
Benefits of Hand Massage:
1. It moisturizes the skin with hand cream.
2. It helps remove any dead skin cells.
3. It relaxes the client.
4. It stimulates blood flow.
Page 51
Steps in giving hand massage

1. Spread the lotion or cream over the arms and hands.
2. Effleurage to the whole hand and forearm. Use long
sweeping strokes from the hand to the elbow moving
on both the outer and the inner sides of the forearm.
Repeat step 1 for the final result. Effleurage is a
stroking movement in massage.
3. Knead thumb to the back of the hand and the forearm. Use the thumbs, one
in front of the other, and move backwards or forwards in a gentle sawing action.
Move from the hands to the elbow, and then slide the thumbs back down to the
hands. Repeat step 2 twice.
4. Knead thumb to the palm and the inner forearm. Use the same movements as
in step 2.
Page 52
5. Finger circulations, supporting the joints. Support the knuckles with one
hand, hold the fingers individually and gently taking each through in full range of
movements, first clockwise and then counter-clockwise. Move from the little
finger to the thumb. Repeat step 4 or further 2 times.
6. Wrist circulations, supporting the joints. Support the wrist with one hand and
put your fingers between the clients gently grasping her hand. Move the wrist
through its full range of movement, first clockwise and then, anticlockwise.
Repeat step 5 or further 2 times.
7. Effleurage to the whole hand and forearm. Use the same movement as in step
1. Repeat step 6 for 5 times.
8. Squeeze clients hand between your own gently, and slide off to finish.
Safety Precaution:
Be very careful to avoid vigorous massage of joints if your client has
arthritis, high blood pressure or has had stroke. Massage increases
circulation and may be harmful to them. Talk with your client throughout the
massage and adjust your touch to the clients hands.

Procedure for a Basic Manicure
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.
Page 57
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.
Page 58
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.
10.
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.
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.
Page 59
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.

Apply instant nail dry on each nail to prevent smudging and dulling

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
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
