Where is it unsafe to put implements in a salon or spa?

Placing implements in your pocket is considered unsafe in a salon or spa setting because it poses several hygiene and safety risks. Implements, such as scissors, cuticle pushers, or files, can harbor bacteria or be contaminated after use. Keeping these items in your pocket can lead to cross-contamination, exposing you and your clients to potential infections or diseases. Additionally, there is a risk of injury to yourself when reaching into your pocket, as sharp or pointed tools can cause cuts or lacerations.

In contrast, placing implements on a counter, in a bag, or in a drawer is generally regarded as safer practices, provided these surfaces are sanitized and organized properly. Countertops allow for easy access and visibility while maintaining cleanliness, and bags or drawers can provide proper containment, keeping implements secure and protected from contamination.
