As this medical-grade machine makes its way into salons and spas, techs should know just what they are. An autoclave is an apparatus that uses superheated steam under high pressure to sterilize instruments. Although dry heat and chemical vapor are forms of sterilization, these types of machines are not autoclaves. Autoclaves come in three common forms. To read our complete feature on autoclaves, "Full Steam Ahead," log on to www.nailsmag.com/autoclaves. Today more than ever, clients want to know that they are safe in your hands. Don't assume clients know your implements and foot spa are impeccably clean. Explain to them how you clean your implements according to your state's guidelines and focus their attention on all the ways you keep clients safe in your salon. Promote your procedures every chance you get — both in and out of the salon. Make a note of it on your business cards, menus, postings, ads, mailings, website, and e-mails. Get all these free handouts and more at www.nailsmag.com/handouts.
