1, health hazards in beauty salons
1, pedicure troubles
Nothing is more comfortable than soaking your feet in a pot of flowers and herbs. Is that really the case? There was once a pedicure house that was not hygienic enough, resulting in dozens of guests infected with mycobacterium; Some have not gone down for ten days, and some have to take antibiotics for several months.
You are vulnerable to condyloma acuminatum and fungal infection in the pedicure house. Experts explained, "These germs can easily breed on wet skin."
Protect yourself
● Wash your hands with sterilized hand sanitizer and ask your technician to wash their hands before performing any beauty and manicure services (such as pedicure).
● The water stored in the water pipe of the foot bath is a paradise for bacteria parasitism. Make sure that they are disinfected every day.
● Don't depilate your legs on the day of pedicure or pedicure, even a tiny wound will give bacteria an opportunity. If your technician has a hand injury, you can reschedule, or find another technician, or let her wear gloves.
2. Precautions for manicure
Among the nail tools, the most dangerous one is the paring knife, which scrapes off your dead skin like a razor. If the technician is not careful, it is easy to cause a cut. This is even illegal in some American states, but many manicurists in China still do it.
In fact, many nail tools, such as nail clippers and nail file, may spread fungi, staphylococci, hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, and yes, even HIV! Even if the blood of a tiny HIV carrier sticks to the tool, it may lead to the misfortune of others! Experts strongly suggest: "If any service you receive may have wounds and come into contact with blood and body fluids, you must choose disposable items."
Protect yourself
Ask Sharon how to disinfect these tools. The safest way is to put all tools in an autoclave overnight. At the very least, the tools should be disinfected after each customer uses them. The bottle of disinfectant should say: antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, etc. Disinfected tools should be opened one by one.
● If you are still worried, bring your own.
● Say no loudly to the peeler pedicure! This is equivalent to a minor operation. It's easy to cut off dead skin with a knife, but you know what? In fact, the "dead skin" on the edge of nails can protect nails from bacterial invasion. If your dead skin is too thick, be sure to soak it in hot water first, and then let the technician gently thin it when the nails and skin become soft.
3. Allergy in the hair salon
Hair straighteners and hair dyes have always been the most complained hairdressing products. The expert said: "I have met such patients. After dyeing their hair, they had allergic reactions, swollen cheeks and eyelids, and even began to ooze fluid."
Protect yourself
● If you feel itchy scalp when dyeing your hair, stop the hairdresser immediately and wash off all hair dyes as soon as possible.
● Experts also remind you that the day before you decide to dye your hair, go to the hair salon and ask the stylist to apply some hair cream on the inside of your elbow. If there is no allergic reaction after one day, dye your hair again.
In addition, the most common combs and brushes in hair salons are also unsafe. They may carry fungi, tinea and dandruff.
● If you see a hairdresser using the same comb for one customer after another, please bring your own next time. There may be dandruff on the comb in the barber shop!
The above is the introduction of the hidden dangers of beauty salons. Although beauty salons have a good cosmetic effect and are more convenient and quick, from the perspective of safety and health, many tools in beauty salons are reused and will not be disinfected, so it is easy to cause cross-infection and put you at risk of getting sick. If you want to go to a beauty salon, you must choose a formal place and use disposable beauty tools.
2. The risk of losing weight in beauty salons
Beauty center "knocking rake"
Ms. Gu lives in Houzhai Street and is often troubled by her fat figure. On August 28th, under the recommendation of a friend, Ms. Gu went to a beauty center in Chunjiang Road, Yiwu City, and applied for a 10 month beauty slimming package, and paid a deposit of 1000 yuan. However, the two sides did not sign a contract.
In the beauty center, Ms. Gu did physical therapy to lose weight. After returning home, she also used related products regularly according to the instructions of the beautician. After only 5 days, Ms. Gu felt that her body was not quite right and her skin felt numb. Because of her worries, Ms. Gu went to the beauty center to ask for a refund of the deposit of 1000 yuan, and terminated the oral agreement on beauty consumption of 10 month.
The person in charge of the beauty center explained that Ms. Gu's symptoms after using beauty products are actually normal pharmacological reactions. After a period of time, the physical discomfort will naturally disappear. "You unilaterally terminate the contract, which constitutes a breach of contract. The deposit is non-refundable, and you have to compensate us for the economic loss of 1000 yuan. "
"Losing weight makes me unwell and makes me lose money?" Ms. Gu is very angry.
Part of the deposit will be refunded after mediation.
After receiving the complaint, Choucheng Industrial and Commercial Office immediately called both parties to mediate. The staff believes that Ms. Gu has obvious discomfort symptoms after using the beauty products provided by the beauty salon. Although there are no medical diagnosis results from authoritative departments, she should stop using them immediately. Beauty centers can't force customers to continue spending, and the unspent balance should also be returned to consumers.
After patient mediation by the staff, the person in charge of the beauty center agreed to deduct the cost of 300 yuan's beauty products and refund Ms. Gu's 700 yuan deposit.
In the process of beauty consumption, we should pay attention to verifying the qualifications of beauty institutions and employees, and sign specific written contracts with them; It is necessary to check whether the services provided by beauty institutions are consistent with the business scope stipulated in their business licenses. At the same time, you should also check whether the outer packaging of beauty products provided by beauty institutions is marked with detailed commodity information to avoid using "three noes" beauty products. If you feel unwell due to the use of beauty products, you should seek medical treatment in time, keep the relevant expenses and diagnosis certificate, and complain to the industrial and commercial department at the first time.
Therefore, when we lose weight in the beauty salon, it is still very risky. If you want to lose weight, you don't have to go to a beauty salon. As long as you can master the correct common sense of losing weight and stick to it, you will definitely get a good slimming effect. Losing weight is not a problem, but persistence is very important.
