Because of this, it is becoming vital that nail stylists educate their client on the dos and don’ts of sanitation and protection. Thanks to the concerted tech efforts, salon clients are now more aware of chemicals contained in the products used along with the potential health effects presented by each. A surge of interest on the topic and more dedicated research to support the findings has uncovered that long-term health effects of low-level chemical exposure in nail salons is a very real and present danger. The findings are supported by the technicians who have been diagnosed with serious illnesses and various diseases, i.e., Meniere’s, as a result of inhaling and working around chemicals contained in the products used on their clients.
