Picks & Tips

Nail dust, composed of tiny particles of acrylic, gel, and polish that float during manicures and pedicures, can pose a serious health risk to both nail technicians and clients. While the health effects of this dust are still being studied, there is increasing evidence that it can cause various respiratory problems, skin irritations, and even cancers.

Respiratory Problems
Nail dust can be easily inhaled, and once in the lungs, it can irritate and inflame the airways. This can lead to several respiratory issues, including:

• Coughing
• Wheezing
• Shortness of breath
• Asthma
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Skin Irritations
Nail dust can also irritate the skin, causing:

• Dryness
• Itching
• Redness
• Rashes
• Dermatitis

Cancer Risks
Some studies have suggested that exposure to nail dust may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, including:

• Lung cancer
• Sinus cancer
• Nail cancer

Protecting Yourself
There are several measures that nail technicians and clients can take to protect themselves from the dangers of nail dust:
For Nail Technicians:

• Wear a mask or respirator.
• Use a dust collector.
• Improve ventilation in your workspace.
• Wash your hands and face frequently.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

For Clients:

• Choose a well-ventilated salon.
• Ask your technician to use a dust collector.
• Wear a mask during your manicure or pedicure.
• Wash your hands and face after your appointment.

If you are concerned about the health effects of nail dust, talk to your doctor. They can assess your risks and recommend appropriate precautions.
It’s important to note that this is just an overview of the health hazards related to nail dust. More research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of this exposure.

Toxic Fumes?
Ensure a Healthy Work Environment with SHEMAX LASH!
Beauty professionals constantly work with chemicals, putting not only their own health at risk but also that of their clients.

• Acrylic: When it evaporates, it can release toxic substances that, when inhaled over long periods, may cause respiratory diseases and allergic reactions.
• Adhesives used for eyelash extensions also contain formaldehyde and cyanoacrylates, which can lead to similar issues.

These products can be potentially dangerous to health! However, regular monitoring and reducing exposures can significantly decrease the risks. That’s why our engineers have designed a professional toxic fume collector. SHEMAX LASH reduces their concentration by 70 to 90%. It not only greatly improves air quality but also ensures a healthier workspace, protecting the health of professionals and their clients.
Our collector can be used not only by eyelash extension experts but also by nail technicians. Place the device near the work area to capture toxic fumes directly at the source.
