HEALTH & SAFETY

THE VIXEN® DIFFERENCE

At Vixen® Spa, it is our duty to go over and above government regulated sanitization procedures. In an industry where the majority of the establishments cut corners to save costs, we take it upon ourselves to be different, spend more money and take pride in our stringent sanitization practices for the health of our employees and our valued clients.

WE KEEP IT CLEAN

  • We never reuse anything that CANNOT be sterilized such as foot files, nail files, buffer blocks & toe separators. All of those items are only used once per client. Our clients leave with them or they are thrown out, unlike other nail salons & spas
  • We do not store or keep you buffer blocks and nail files for clients as this is highly unsanitary
  • Stainless steel implements are disinfected in Accel Hydrogen Peroxide CS20 Solution which is a high-grade disinfectant that is environmentally friendly possessing disinfectant strength that is over and above-regulated standards (not just alcohol)
  • Pedicure bowls are washed in detergent, disinfected with Accel Hydrotherapy Solution and shined with Alcohol
  • We never double dip in our wax and we use disposable spatulas for every wax service to prevent the spread of any skin infections
  • Never do we reuse wax strips, paper sheets or gloves, this is extremely unhygienic, we absorb the minor costs for your health
  • Our estheticians always use gloves during pedicures, waxing, and other sanitary procedures served
  • Our wax beds are always prepped, disinfected and lined with new examination paper after each client
  • All waxing garments are disposable and never reused
