What should a nail technician do after completing a service?

After completing a service, the primary responsibility of a nail technician is to clean and disinfect the workstation. This practice is crucial for maintaining hygiene and ensuring the safety of both the technician and the client. Cleaning the workstation involves removing any debris, leftover products, and tools that have come into contact with the client to prevent cross-contamination and the spread of infections. Disinfecting tools and surfaces reduces the risk of passing on bacteria or fungi, which is essential in any beauty and wellness environment.

While applying nail polish, offering discounts, or scheduling follow-up appointments can be valuable aspects of client service and retention, they do not address the immediate need for hygiene and safety that comes after a service is completed. Prioritizing cleanliness sets a professional standard and fosters client trust in the technician's commitment to health and safety.
