What should be disinfected after each haircut?

• A. Only the chair.
• B. All tools, combs, and implements.
• C. Only the comb.
• D. The mirror.

Answer: (B)

The key idea is preventing cross-contamination by sanitizing anything that touched the client. After each haircut, every tool, comb, and implement used during the service should be disinfected. This includes scissors, clippers, trimmers, razors, brushes, and any other instrument that comes into contact with hair or skin. The chair and mirror should be cleaned, but the critical disinfection step focuses on the tools and implements to stop the transfer of germs to the next client. Use the appropriate disinfectant per your shop’s procedure or local regulations to ensure proper sanitization between clients.
