1. What is hand hygiene for salon professionals?

Hand hygiene is the single most effective infection-prevention measure in personal-care services[1]. The WHO 5 Moments framework — originally developed for healthcare — applies directly to salon operations: before client contact, before aseptic procedures (e.g. razor work), after body-fluid exposure risk, after client contact, and after touching salon surfaces. In any country, the controlling reference is the national health authority[2]; the international gold standard is WHO Guidelines on Hand Hygiene in Health Care[3].
