Who are we protecting?
Infections caught as a result of beauty treatments are extremely rare. However,
the potential is there and good practice can significantly reduce the risk of
cross-infection in the salon.
The most common source of infection in a salon is the client but staff and visitors
can bring infection into the salon. It is important to make sure that infection is
controlled and not transmitted from person to person within the salon, or taken
out of the salon where a wide range of people could potentially be infected.
The transfer of infection from one person to another is called cross-infection.
People with active diseases are an obvious source of infection and anyone suffering
from obvious diseases should not treat clients or be treated. However, some people
may be harbouring disease or be symptomless carriers in which case they may not
be aware of the potential problems.
