Our safety lens

How to evaluate a salon

These are the hygiene and safety criteria to look for in any salon — the things that actually protect you during a pedicure. Use them when comparing the listings in our directory.

✧

Autoclave sterilization

Autoclaves use pressurized steam to sterilize metal tools between clients. The same method used in hospitals and dental offices — and the only reliable way to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi on reusable instruments.

○

Disposable liners

Single-use plastic liners inside the pedicure basin prevent cross-contamination between clients. Without them, residue from previous sessions can linger regardless of how the tub is wiped down.

⭙

Pipeless pedicure chairs

Traditional jet-piped chairs circulate water through internal tubing that's difficult to fully clean. Pipeless systems use a propeller or magnetic motor instead, eliminating the hidden buildup where bacteria thrive.

∕

Single-use tools or hospital-grade disinfection

Files, buffers, and pumice should be disposed of after each client or disinfected using hospital-grade protocols. Reusing porous tools is one of the most common — and least visible — hygiene gaps.

≈

Ventilation quality

Nail salons use chemical products that release volatile organic compounds. Proper ventilation — exhaust fans, air filtration, open airflow design — reduces exposure for both clients and technicians.

✓

Licensing and inspection visibility

A salon that displays its current state license and most recent health inspection results signals it has nothing to hide. We look for visible compliance — posted on the wall or available on request.
