Abstract :
Haircutting salons provide an essential service
to their customers, but they also pose a risk of
transmitting infectious diseases if proper hygiene
practices are not followed. This study aimed to assess the
effectiveness of hygiene regimens in haircutting salons
and determine if they are sufficientin reducing the risk of
infectious diseases. A survey was conducted among 100
haircutting salons in a large urban area, covering topics
such as hand hygiene, disinfection of tools, and the use of
personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and
masks. Swab samples were taken from the surfaces of
tools and equipment used in the salons to assess the
presence of bacterial contamination. The findings of this
study highlight the need for standardized hygiene
regimens in haircutting salons to reduce the risk of
infectious diseases.
