What is a potential consequence of poor sanitation practices in a salon?

Poor sanitation practices in a salon can lead to cross-contamination, which poses significant health risks to clients. When tools, equipment, or surfaces are not properly sanitized, pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi can be transferred from one client to another. This can result in infections, skin irritations, or other health issues, especially for those with compromised immune systems or sensitive skin.

In contrast, increased client satisfaction, improved product effectiveness, and enhanced service speed are all unlikely outcomes of inadequate sanitation. Clients may feel unsafe and less satisfied with their experience if they perceive or experience unsanitary conditions. Proper sanitation is essential in maintaining a safe environment and upholding the health and wellbeing of both clients and practitioners.
