Back to Salon Guidelines for Nail Techsfeaturing OPI


It’s almost time to reopen your salon. Your clients miss you and you’re ready to do some nails. That’s why we have created a suggested checklist to help you get back to business confidently and safely! When in doubt, check with your state or local state board for guidelines.
Steps prior to reopening:
Prior to reopening, there are steps you should take to reduce the risk of exposure to help you and your clients feel more comfortable:
- Sanitize and disinfect the salon prior to reopening
- Stagger appointments to limit the number of people in the salon
- Consider waiving appointment cancellation fees during this time
- Have adequate stock of single use items such as files, buffers, etc.
- Ask clients to bring their own mask, if necessary, provide one
- Confirm appointments 48 hours in advance to ensure clients are in good health and have not come in contact with others who are sick
- Train your staff prior to reopening on the new salon policies and guidelines
Reduce touchpoints to a minimum:
-
Discard any non-essential items such as magazines
-
Consider updating restroom amenities to motion activated faucets, soap dispenser, and hand dryers
-
Consider implementing a no phone policy. Have clients text their nail art inspiration before their appointment
-
Temporarily discontinue complimentary beverages such as water, tea, etc.
-
Consider card or contactless payments only. Avoid cash exchange.
Respect social distancing guidelines:

If stations are set up closer than 6 feet, use every other station

There should be no more than 7 people per 1,000 sq. ft. in your salon (staff included).

Temporarily close employee breakrooms
