6. Dialogue

🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue

🐥

Piyo: Poppo, is UV-C sterilisation enough for salon tools?

🦉

Poppo: UV-C at 254nm for 10+ minutes kills surface organisms, but it only sterilises what the light touches. For tools with crevices — scissors hinges, clipper blades — chemical immersion or autoclave is the gold standard.

🐥

Piyo: How do I know my autoclave is actually working?

🦉

Poppo: Weekly biological indicator test — a spore strip that confirms kill. If it fails, every tool processed since the last pass is suspect.

🐮

Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — sterilisation is the invisible promise between you and every client who sits in your chair.
