Volunteer Guide
STEP 1: Prep the Hands
1. Start by sanitizing your hands and the client's hands.
Wear new gloves for each customer.
2. Make sure they are dry before you begin.
If they have old nail polish, remove it using nail polish remover and a cotton pad.
Health & Safety Precautions​
Workstation:
-
Make sure the workstation is clean and sanitized before each resident’s manicure.
Gloves (always required):
-
Wear gloves to maintain hygiene and avoid direct skin contact, reducing the risk of infections or allergic reactions.
-
Always change gloves between residents and ensure they are properly disposed of after each use.
Sanitation:
-
We always use single-use tools. After the manicure, offer the resident their nail file and buffer as a small extra gesture—they often appreciate it!
