Dream Spa · Sanitation & safety

Nurse-owned.
And you can tell.

Tools sterilized between every client, consumables never re-used, and infection-prevention habits brought over from healthcare. Here is exactly what we do.

Last updated April 5, 2026

We never recycle paraffin wax. Plenty of salons do, because it is cheaper.

Nurse-Owned, Healthcare Standards

Infection prevention is a professional habit here, not a marketing line.

Dream Spa is proudly owned by a former nurse who brings exceptional expertise in infection prevention and sanitation to our spa. With a healthcare background, we understand the critical importance of cleanliness and apply industry standard hygiene protocols to every aspect of our operations.

Your health and safety are our highest priorities. We maintain sanitation standards that exceed industry requirements, ensuring a clean, safe environment for every client. Your safety isn't just our promise — it's our professional standard.

Our Sanitation Commitments

Six things you can hold us to, every single visit.

  • Industry Standard Sterilization

    All tools are thoroughly sterilized between clients using specialized disinfection equipment. We never cut corners on your safety.

  • High-Touch Surface Cleaning

    Stations, chairs, and all high-touch surfaces are cleaned and disinfected regularly.

  • No Re-Used Consumables

    We never re-use consumables that touch your skin, including paraffin wax. Unlike many salons, we believe your safety is worth the extra cost.

  • Infection Prevention

    We turn away clients with nail fungus or infections to protect our staff and other customers. Your health is our priority.

  • Licensed & Compliant

    We meet or exceed all standards outlined by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).

  • Staff Training

    Our team is extensively trained in proper sanitation protocols and stays current with the latest safety guidelines.

Our Sanitation Protocols

The specifics, so you can compare us against anywhere else you've been.

  • Tool Sterilization Process

    Every metal tool (nippers, pushers, files) is cleaned, disinfected with hospital-grade solutions, and sterilized in an autoclave or UV sterilizer between each client. Single-use items like buffers and nail files are never reused.

  • Pedicure Basin Sanitation

    Pedicure basins are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. We use EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants and follow strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination.

  • Hand Hygiene

    Our technicians wash their hands thoroughly before and after each service.

  • Zero Re-Use of Consumables

    Paraffin wax, cotton, gauze, and any other consumable materials are never reused. Many salons recycle paraffin wax to cut costs — we never do. Each client receives fresh, unopened materials.

  • Infection Control

    We respectfully decline service to clients showing signs of nail fungus, infections, or contagious skin conditions. This protects you, our staff, and other clients. We're happy to reschedule once the condition has cleared.

  • Air Quality & Ventilation

    Our spa maintains excellent air quality with proper ventilation systems to minimize exposure to fumes and chemicals. We use low-odor, high-quality products when possible.

Regulatory Compliance

Licensed by the state and inspected on their schedule, not ours.

Dream Spa is fully licensed and regularly inspected by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). We meet or exceed all state sanitation and safety requirements, and our team stays updated on the latest regulations and best practices.

TDLR Licensed & Compliant
