Chemicals are the primary tools of the trade for salon professionals. Chemicals are found in the products used to dye, curl, or straighten hair, in the polishes and adhesives used in manicures, and in the disinfectants used to clean implements. While these products are meant to beautify or protect, they also pose significant dangers to salon professionals and their clients if used improperly. The following course will provide the salon professional with information about the common chemicals found in salon products, the hazards that they pose, and the steps that they can take to keep their clients and themselves safe.
