According to regulations, where should sanitized implements be stored?

Sanitized implements should be stored in an air-tight cabinet to maintain their cleanliness and prevent any contamination. An air-tight environment protects the implements from dust, airborne pathogens, and other potential contaminants that could compromise their sterility. This is critical in a salon setting, where hygiene is paramount to ensure the safety and health of clients.

Storing sanitized implements in open drawers, on a countertop, or in a basket does not provide the same level of protection, as these methods may expose the implements to contaminants. An air-tight cabinet effectively safeguards against these risks, making it the best choice for compliance with health and safety regulations within the nail technician practice.
