Very often we get a questions about how we sterilize our tools.
Many salons use Barbicide, UV light "sterilizer" boxes, or other chemical solutions to disinfect their tools, which is legal and standard, but not totally effective at killing all bacteria and infection. The only solution that works completely is a Dry Heat Sterilization, a machine used to sterilize equipment and supplies using high temperature and dry heat, which kills 100 percent of all infective organisms.
To make you sure that all tools are sterilized we introduced sterilization pouch.
How can you find out if our salon is using a Sterilization Pouch, so that you're a 100 percent protected? Look for the colour change pouches that the instruments are prepared in. The colour changes on the bag once correct sterilization conditions have been met. This colour change indicates that the object inside the package has been processed. Sterilization pouches are therefore sealed and should be opened in front of you.
So, how we sterilize our tools:
-Firstly we soak the tools in Barbicide for 10 min
( Barbicide is killing of most microbial life that can lead to infection in humans—such as Influenza, Staphylococcus, HIV/AIDS, Herpes, Salmonella and Hepatitis)
- Then we rinsing our tools under running water using a brush and placing into Ultrasonic Cleaner which contains Barbicide, for 10 min.
(Ultrasonic cleaning kills bacteria and other pathogens through physical means rather than by a chemical reaction, eliminating the need for harsh compounds and the possibility of instigating resistant organisms).
-Drying, packing all tools into sterilization pouch and placing into Dry Heat Sterilization for 60 minutes 180 degrees
Dry heat sterilization uses high temperatures over extended periods of time to kill bacterial spores and microorganisms from tools.
-After 1 hour we taking out the Sterilization Pouch. Colour indicators on Sterilization Pouch serve as a label to verify that the items have been processed and are safe for our clients.
-The last we placing Sterilization Pouch in to UV lamp to store
UV light provides rapid, effective inactivation of microorganisms through a physical process. When bacteria, viruses and protozoa are exposed to the germicidal wavelengths of UV light, they are rendered incapable of reproducing and infecting.

Hi! I’m Neil.
My working life was spent sitting at a desk in the Square Mile of London City and Canary Wharf for banks.
Within this time I also played hockey to a high standard.
Like many I had never heard of Kinesiology before, until I had a debilitating leg problem from playing hockey and cycling. Both legs would seize up while playing and I then could not walk for 3 days after.I went to doctors and specialists. I had tests galore. I even had electrodes put into my legs, but nothing could diagnose the problem.
​
However, one day, I was introduced to a kinesiologist. To my amazement, she had found the cause of my leg problem. It was bread and a wheat intolerance.
​That was five years ago and I have not had the problem since.
​I was that impressed, I decided to study more about kinesiology. I completed the foundation course and the practitioners course and I can now help others to take control of their health in a natural way.
​
I am a member of ASK, the governing body for Systematic Kinesiology and I am fully insured to practice.
