Health and Safety

Insurance
There are many companies that can help you with insurance - it is important that you do not work without insurance. You must also make sure that you have a certificate for the treatments you perform. You can join professional organizations. These companies can offer insurance and help you with any professional questions you may have. If you need to practice before working with customers, you need to make sure your model signs a model agreement.

Check your Vision
Along with a steady hand, good eyesight is required to perform our eyelash and eyebrow treatments; We recommend that you check your vision regularly. Focusing on eyelashes or eyebrows for more than an hour at a time can be very tiring. When your eyes get tired, your vision may become blurred and you may have difficulty focusing. If this happens, take a break and let your eyes rest. A magnifying lamp or reading glasses can be useful for you. For dry eyes, use appropriate eye drops to refresh and soothe them. Do not continue treatment if you cannot focus properly for any reason.

Hygiene
Effective and thorough hygiene practice is essential when providing any type of beauty treatment in the salon or at home. Poorly performed treatments can lead to cross-infection and secondary infection for yourself and your client. The infection can be felt through redness of the skin, itching, inflammation or visible presence of varicose veins as lesions. Cross-infection occurs because some microorganisms are contagious - they can be transmitted through personal contact or through contact with an instrument that has not been properly sterilized or disinfected. Secondary infection can be caused by working in or around an area that has already been infected. Sterilization and sanitation are used to minimize or destroy the harmful microorganisms that can cause infection. It is important that the hands are thoroughly cleaned. The best way to clean your hands is to wash them with soap in water and then dry them with a clean paper towel.

Personal hygiene
Impeccable personal hygiene is important in a profession where you will work closely with other people.


You should always wash your hands before and after each customer with an antibacterial hand wash. Remember that it takes up to three minutes to destroy all bacteria thoroughly.
Nails should be well cared for and your nail polish should never be chipped
Wear clean work clothes
Make sure your hair is clean and set up without any loose hair falling out
Use natural, well-applied makeup
Make sure your perfume is not too strong

What is sterilization?
Sterilization is the process of making something free from bacteria or other living microorganisms. The instruments should be sterilized between clients, but some products used in treatments can not be sterilized - in this case, you should disinfect where possible and use the most hygienic practice to ensure the safety of your clients as well as your own. An example of a product that you can not sterilize is Cleansing Cloth - the best practice for this product is to wash thoroughly and store in a sealed container and keep it fresh in front of every customer. Disposable items must be discarded immediately after use.

Reasons why we sterilize
Sterilization is a term that refers to all processes that kill all forms of microbial life. This includes all fungi, bacteria, viruses and spores that can be found on any surface or contain a liquid. In order for articles to be sterilized effectively, they must be washed clean and free of grease before the sterilization process.
