STEP 1
Determine what services and treatments your spa or salon offers
Spas and salons offer a variety of different services ranging from massage therapy to nail treatments. Reviewing the treatments your facility offers is the first step to ensuring appropriate disinfection protocols are in place for specific tools, equipment and surfaces.
STEP 3
Account for the mode of transmission of possible pathogens
Germs can be found in many areas in spas and salons. Therefore, it’s important to keep in mind how pathogens may spread in your facility and which items are at higher risk of causing inflection.

| Spa Items | Pathogen |
|---|---|
| High Touch Surfaces and Handheld Equipment |
Contaminated spa surfaces and equipment can transmit a number of germs between clients and workers, including bacteria that may cause skin infections/staph infections (Staphylococcus aureus) and viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). |
| Footbaths and Basins | Unclean footbaths can easily spread Athlete’s Foot and Nail Fungus (caused by the fungus Trichophyton interdigitale) to clients during pedicures. |
| Reusable Tools and Implements | Tools have a higher risk of causing infection as they may come into contact with non-intact skin. Contaminated Spa Tools can even transmit serious blood borne infections including HIV, Hepatitis B and C viruses. |

Levels of Disinfection
You should determine which level of disinfection you need to achieve for your salon/spa surfaces, tools and devices.
Low To Intermediate Level Disinfection: Required for most surfaces and larger equipment which only come into contact with intact skin. Examples include: countertops, keyboards, door handles, massage stones, UV LED Lamps, massage cups, footbaths, etc.
High Level Disinfection: Recommended for reusuable tools (semi-critical equipment) which may come into contact with non-intact skin or mucous membranes (around the eyes and mouth) as they pose a higher risk of infection and therefore should be treated with greater care. Examples include nail clippers, nippers, tweezers, nail files, foot files, etc.

Testimonials
It couldn’t have been any easier to set up custom protocols using the template you provided. Reopening plans for my skincare studio included a risk management plan that called for increased safety and sanitation measures that would reassure my clients. I had never used Rejuvenate, but I liked that their products were faster and stronger, even easier to use than what I was using. I took the online sanitation course, order my supplies, and incorporated their protocols into my program using the templates. Easy peasy!
Patricia Davismore – The Good Skin Company
Rejuvenate is amazing! The disinfecting protocols are even better! I love being able to have a handy sheet nearby to refer to if I need it! The protocols were so easy to design and implement. I can revise as needed. Great tool!
LaToya Jackson – Manicure U Natural Nail Services
As the mom of a heart transplant patient who is immunocompromised, I have always taken disinfection seriously in my daily life as well as in my nail studio. Upon reopening after the 7 week COVID shutdown in my state, I doubled down on those efforts by adding doorknobs, faucet handles, sign-in pens, etc. (anything my client or I have touched) to my between-client disinfection protocol. Not only does this help to protect my family at home, it protects my clients, who also mean a great deal to me.
