Spa Disinfection to Keep Up With Growing Clients
Post-Covid, there has been an increased need for cleanliness and self-care services. As spa’s start growing more clients, it’s important they still keep up with disinfection. Sanitation and infection control are some of the most important aspects people learn when going through beauty school. Since the spa is a place trusted by clients for comfort and health, that should be reflected in every way, including your disinfection protocols. Not only will your clients feel confident that you will protect their health, but your employees must also have a clean space to keep them healthy and productive.
THE SPA POST-COVID
Throughout the pandemic, a lot of people saved up their money from barely ever leaving their house. As things began to re-open people could afford self-care services again. Not only that, but people have also gained a passion for self-care more than ever. With the combination of increased money and passion for self-care, there has been an increase in spa clients. This increase can be shown in many ways. In fact, in 2021, the U.S. medical spa market was estimated at $4.8 billion, according to a report by market research firm ReportLinker. The U.S. currently accounts for 37.7% of the global medspa market, which is projected to reach $25.9 billion by 2026, according to the report.
AN INCREASE IN DISINFECTION
As the number of clients continuously increases, it’s important for spas to still keep up with disinfection. If they fail to do so, the spa risks shutting down due to the outbreak of illness. This means losing clients, service, staff, and money. With that being said, spa and salon workers must be aware of contagious bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses that can be contracted through broken skin, posing serious health risks. Not only should spas treat all clients with care to avoid getting them sick, but spas staff must also protect themselves in the workplace.
