What should the practitioner do with the towel after completing a service?

After completing a service, replacing the towel is essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing cross-contamination. Using a fresh, clean towel for each client ensures that the surfaces are sanitary and that any bacteria or product residue left on the towel does not affect the next client.

Each step in a nail service should prioritize client health and safety, which is why using a new towel each time is a best practice. Reusing or storing towels that have already been used can pose health risks. Proper sanitation protocols in a salon environment demand that practitioners dispose of or replace towels after each service to provide a clean and safe experience for clients.
