Poor quality chemicals used by these saloons can impact the short as well as long term health of clients. The main cause for spread of infection is the sub standard products, lack of hygiene and incompetent beauticians of some of the existing beauty parlors.

Girls working as beauticians do some short-term courses and start working as beauticians sometimes in their own parlors for making extra income.
