Salons vary in uniform codes and the expected dress for work, so therapists must always check exactly what is expected for work.
The most important function of any uniform is to allow the wearer a free range movement.
The dress code is set not only for professional appearance but for health and safety.

Hands are the most important tool of all, nails reflect both your hygiene standards and your profession. Short, unvarnished nails are essential to giving an intuitive massage, without fear of stabbing clients' skin, and for maintaining a clean appearance. Always wash the hands at the beginning of the treatments as it is essential to avoid spreading germs.

Jewellery is neither safe nor practical, rings can scratch clients' skin ruining the relaxation of the treatment. They are also dangerous to wear when carrying out electrical procedures, as metal is a good conductor of electricity. It is not safe to have necklaces and earrings dangling when working and it may affect any insurance entitlement if negligence is claimed.

Hair should always be clean, tidy and presentable. If they keep dropping on the eyes and irritating the therapist they would be a distraction from the treatment. For hygiene reasons they should also not get into contact with the client.

Feet need the protection of safe shoes with toes covered and no high heels.
Work shoes should meet industry standards, it is easy to get into bad habits and war footwear with little or no support. When slippers/ballet pump style of shoe are older they loose all firmness and support, this is very bad for the therapist and will make feet ache. It is annoying and distracting from the treatment if the therapist has heels that make noise while working or have shoes that do not stay on feet causing to shuffle while walking.
Leather shoes would allow the feet to breathe and are more hygienic as they prevent a build-up of bacteria which may cause odour problems and lead to athlete's foot.
