Our Sanitation Process Clean. Sterile. Safe.
When it comes to nail care, cleanliness isn’t optional—it’s essential. At Pink Pedi, your health and safety come first. That’s why we follow a comprehensive, medical-grade sanitation process for every service, every time. From metal tools to single-use files and buffers, we go above and beyond industry standards to provide a truly clean and conscious experience.
Here’s how we keep everything safe—from start to finish.
Step 1: Thorough Cleaning and Scrubbing
After each use, all of our metal implements—including clippers, nippers, and cuticle pushers—are washed by hand using antibacterial soap and warm water. We use nail brushes to scrub away debris, polish dust, and oils, making sure each tool is visibly clean before moving on to the next stage.
Step 2: Disinfecting in Barbicide
Freshly cleaned tools are then fully submerged in Barbicide, a hospital-grade disinfectant trusted by both salons and medical professionals. This powerful solution eliminates bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
We soak tools for the full manufacturer-recommended time to ensure maximum disinfection.
Fun fact: Barbicide is EPA-registered and kills common pathogens like Staph and MRSA.
Step 3: UV Sterilization
Once disinfected, tools are dried and placed into a UV sterilizer, where intense ultraviolet light neutralizes any lingering microorganisms. This light-based sterilization penetrates cracks and crevices that might otherwise be missed.
Step 4: Sealed in Sterile Bags
After their first round of UV sterilization, tools are carefully sealed into individual sterile instrument bags, like those used in dental or medical settings. This prevents cross-contamination and guarantees that each guest receives a fresh, untouched set of tools.
Step 5: Final UV Sterilization (in Bag)
Each sealed bag is placed into a second UV sterilizer, where it’s sterilized again—this time while sealed. This final step ensures your tools stay sterile until they’re opened just for you at the start of your service.
Single-Use Tools: No Reuse. Ever.
At Pink Pedi, we never reuse disposable implements such as nail files, buffers, pumice bars, toe separators, or wooden sticks. These items are strictly one-time use only and are discarded immediately after your service. This policy protects against the spread of bacteria and ensures a fresh, hygienic experience every time.
Why It Matters
Infections, fungus, and cross-contamination are very real risks in the salon world—but not at Pink Pedi. Our multi-step sanitation protocol exceeds Texas state board requirements, giving you complete peace of mind with every service.
You can relax knowing that your tools are:
-
Hand-scrubbed clean
-
Disinfected with Barbicide
-
UV sterilized (twice)
-
Individually sealed
-
Free from reused disposables
Because beauty should never come at the cost of your health.
