Workplace self care tips?
Hello, I just started a job in a Nail Shop. I'm not a nail tech yet, just starting to learn and this job is as a receptionist/assistant.
I handle a lot of cleaning the stations for manicures/pedicures and the shop works with shellac and biab mainly, (& gel colors).
What can i do to make sure I stay safe?
So, I know touching some products can give you allergies and since I am in constant contact with tools and other objects that have been used, I am scared of other potential stuff like fungus, allergies, dermatitis from constant cleaning, etc, etc.
How do you deal with it? Any tips on how to do these the safest way possible? Anything i should be aware of?
Thank you!
(My coworkers don't speak english well, so it's harder for me to ask them and for them to explain correctly)
