Dialogue
🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue
🐥
Piyo: Poppo, how often should a stylist actually wash their hands?
🦉
Poppo: Before every client, after every client, and after touching shared surfaces. WHO calls these the '5 Moments' — originally for hospitals, but they apply identically to salons where you touch skin and hair all day.
🐥
Piyo: What about alcohol gel between clients?
🦉
Poppo: Gel is good for between-touch moments, but soap and water is non-negotiable before chemical services and after any body-fluid contact — a razor nick, a cuticle bleed.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — clean hands are the most powerful infection barrier in any salon.
