Tools are scrubbed with soap and water and placed in a high temperature sterilizer.

After sterilization the tools are individually packaged in reusable containers to cut down on paper/plastic waste from autoclave sleeves.

All surfaces are wiped down at the start of the day, before and after appointments and at the end of the day.

An additional fifteen minutes has been consciously added between appointments to give ample time to thoroughly sanitize tools, equipment and surfaces.

This is to ensure a safe salon environment for all.

Pedicure chairs (with plumbing) can hold bacteria deep inside the drains. This is where most fungal infections can spread.
(ex. plantar warts + athletes foot are two of the highest spreadable fungal infections)

Freestanding foot basins ensure a COMPLETE clean and they help cut down on water waste!

The beauty industry sends about 150 million pounds of waste to landfills every YEAR.

We call our salon lifestyle “low-waste” instead of “zero-waste” because we do use single-use products at times for health and sanitation reasons.

BUT this doesn’t mean that we’re not doing our utmost to cut back on waste elsewhere at Rebel.

Have any suggestions? feel free to reach out!

At Rebel we use LED lamps to cure our gel polishes.

LED lamps emit an extremely narrow spectrum of UV light, which makes them very safe to use.

The FDA also considers LED lamps a very low risk when used as instructed.
*This is why we ask that you keep your hand inside the lamp until told otherwise.

Because we’re working with natural nails, electric nail drills are an unnecessary tool to incorporate into our mani/pedi methods. All products used are easy enough to remove with our “soak and scrape” method.

Soak and Scrape Method: Used for all gel mani/pedi removals. Filing the top shiny layer of gel, placing an acetone soaked cotton on top of each nail bed and then using a removal clip to keep the cotton in place. This method takes around 10-15mins to execute.
