As Nail Technicians We Enjoy What We Do Even With The Risk. Appreciate Your Nail Tech ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
•
😷 👩🏽🔬 On a daily basis, nail technicians are exposed to toxic chemicals that include acetone, formaldehyde, ethyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate or dangerous combinations of these chemicals. These chemicals often appear in common nail care products, including nail polish and remover, nail primer, fingernail glue
and remover, nail hardener and artificial nail liquid. Nail technicians breathe the fumes from these chemicals as they do manicures. That’s why we wear face mask not just for Covid-19
•
🫁 The harsh chemicals used in nail salons can irritate the skin easily. Technicians with pre-existing asthmatic conditions may have difficulty breathing or suffer continual asthma attacks because of the dust, chemicals and vapors
•
🤒 Nail technicians can be exposed to bloodborne diseases such as hepatitis, HIV and other infectious diseases. If a client’s skin is pierced or broken and the nail technician comes into contact with infected blood, they can contract these potentially life-threatening diseases
•
🧤Nail technicians can be exposed to fungal infections that rest on a customer's finger and toenails. When a nail technician touches infected skin or uses unsanitized equipment from another customer, they can contract fungal infections like athlete’s foot unless they protects their hands with gloves
•
😩 Nail technicians work long hours leaning over a table, doing repetitive motions that include filing and buffing. Their wrists and hands rest on hard surfaces, causing strain to muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves and tendons
•
🧴Constant hand washing and use of harsh chemicals can lead to dry, broken or cracked skin. This can become painful and hinder a nail technician’s ability to do their job. Since nail technicians deal with sharp tools, there is also a risk of cuts to the skin.
