The recent conversation around TPO and gel nail safety has raised an important question: how do consumers know they are in safe hands? 🤔⁠

At BABTAC and CIBTAC, we believe it is not about the size of the salon, it is about standards.⁠

Our T.I.M.E initiative encourages consumers to ask the right questions before booking any treatment:⁠

📣 Training. Insurance. Monitoring. Evidence.⁠

Whether a salon is large, small, independent or local, safe and ethical practice comes down to transparency, professionalism and a commitment to client care.⁠

What do you think consumers should be asking before booking a nail treatment? 💬

Thinking about microneedling? Ask the right questions first.⁠

Using the Sharp Standards Guide from Dermalogica UK and BABTAC, along with BABTAC’s T.I.M.E checklist, we’re highlighting what to look for before booking - from training and insurance to consultation, aftercare and evidence.⁠

Microneedling is the controlled puncturing of the skin with fine needles so safe, professional practice matters.⁠
