What should be done with any used gloves after a service?

After a service, any used gloves should be disposed of properly in a waste container because they may contain contaminants or body fluids that could pose health risks to others. Proper disposal helps maintain a safe and hygienic environment, adhering to health and safety regulations in the cosmetology field.

Reusing gloves, storing them for future use, or giving them to clients poses a risk of cross-contamination, undermining the fundamental principles of sanitation and infection control that are crucial in any service that involves direct contact with clients. Therefore, the most responsible and safe action is to dispose of them in an appropriate waste receptacle designed for such materials.
