During a manicure, what should a technician wear for safety?

Wearing gloves during a manicure is essential for several reasons. First, gloves create a barrier that protects the technician's hands from exposure to harmful chemicals often found in nail products, such as solvents and adhesives. This is particularly important as prolonged exposure can lead to skin irritation or allergic reactions.

Furthermore, gloves help maintain hygiene by preventing the spread of bacteria and fungi between the technician and the client, especially if there are any cuts or abrasions on the technician's hands. By using gloves, the technician also ensures a more sanitary environment, which is critical for both their own health and the health of their clients.

While other protective gear like masks, goggles, or foot covers may have specific uses in certain contexts, the primary and most direct protection for the technician during a manicure is afforded by wearing gloves. This focus on hand safety aligns with best practices in nail care and manicuring services.
