Every state has its own regulations when it comes to mobile-spa services.


Observing the Rules

*Pay strict attention to hygiene. Ensure that all your equipment, including foot spas and hand-held implements are lined with disposable covers. Use only fresh, clean water in your foot spa and baths. As far as possible, bill disposable kits to your clients after use. Sterilize all manicure and pedicure equipment after each use.


*In some states, it is possible to offer mobile spa services only to clients who are bed-ridden or indisposed. Ensure that you are aware of all the regulations that apply in your state.


*Maintain a record of all your client visits, including the reasons for making the house call.
