FAQ
The salons listed here go beyond baseline state licensing requirements. We look for autoclave sterilization of reusable metal tools, pipeless pedicure chairs, disposable liners changed between every client, and visible licensing and inspection records. Many salons in Salt Lake City meet state minimums but don’t adopt these higher-standard practices.
Ask whether the salon uses an autoclave for metal tools, whether liners are disposed of after each client, and whether their pedicure chairs are pipeless. You can also ask to see their current state license and most recent inspection results. Our free safety checklist covers these questions and more.
Salt Lake City listings are reviewed on a rolling basis. We update individual listings when new information becomes available — through public inspection records, reader reports, or our own research. If you’ve noticed something that’s changed at a listed salon, please let us know.
