Treat yourself right. And your manicurist, too.
Because nail products can contain ingredients that are harmful to human health, you should always look for the Healthy Nail Salon logo when you choose a salon. Certified Healthy Nail Salons use safer products, safer practices and better ventilation, so you can breathe easy knowing they are healthier for you, employees, and the planet. And that's a beautiful thing.

Don't see your favorite salon?
If your nail salon isn’t a Healthy Nail Salon, be sure to ask the salon manager if they are aware of the Healthy Nail Salon Program and the benefits to their staff, their clientele, and the environment. Refer them to this site to learn more about this free program.
About the Healthy Nail Salon Program
There are 250 salons in San Francisco, employing over 2,200 technicians, who are primarily women of reproductive age. Nail salon workers are exposed to toxic chemicals in polishes and other products that have been linked to cancer, birth defects, and miscarriages. San Francisco’s Healthy Nail Salon Program aims to reward nail salons that make safer choices for their employees, customers, and the environment.
Launched in early 2012, the Healthy Nail Salon program is a free program which is open to all nail salons in San Francisco. The San Francisco Environment Department works with registered salons to help them complete the safety measures required to become certified under the program.
To reduce exposure to these chemicals, the Healthy Nail Salon program requires that salons go through a rigorous checklist of safety measures, including:
-
Use of safer nail products
-
Use of gloves by all technicians
-
Installation of localized ventilation
-
Training for all employees
SF Environment coordinator conducts a free 45-minute training session with all nail salon employees. The training can be held at the salon and in the language(s) that salon employees speak.
Salon owners and employees work together to make sure all the criteria on the checklist are met.
Criteria include:
- Purchasing safer products
- Implementing worker safety practices
- Disposing of chemicals safely
- Improving ventilation
Salon owner requests a site visit from SF Environment coordinator. Once all the criteria are met, the salon will be recognized as a Healthy Nail Salon.
To stand out from other salons, Healthy Nail Salons receive a plaque, a window decal, and certificates for all employees. Salons are also listed on SF Environment's website, newsletters, and social media.
To learn more about the program or request a consultation, call (415) 355-3700
