The shortest deadline in the whole regulation ends in early February 2027. Why six months is less than it sounds, and what to do in the first two weeks.
Sanepid, RODO, BDO, OHS, patch testing - practical guides for nail, brow & lash salon owners in Poland.

The shortest deadline in the whole regulation ends in early February 2027. Why six months is less than it sounds, and what to do in the first two weeks.

A medical sterilisation technician title or a qualification course - and two years to obtain it.

The legal vacuum is over: 4 m² for sterilisation, a ban on hand jewellery.
Announcing a treatment discount? Next to it you must state the lowest price from 30 days.
The inspection reads Polish, the team works in Ukrainian. What must be in Polish, what is worth keeping bilingual (consents.
A client did not show and did not cancel? Zadatek vs zaliczka under the Civil Code.
Itching, plate lifting, changes around the nails after gel polish.
The inspector takes a pouch from the drawer and checks the seal, label and date.
A lost phone with your client base, a hacked booking account, a client card in the wrong hands.

A 3,000 PLN fine for missing sterilization cards is just the start.

In-app payments can mean Booksy or Fresha reports your income to the tax office before you do.

The needle is single-use, so there's no sterilization cycle to log. Instead you track needle and pigment batch numbers and know how long to retain the records.

Pigment under the skin stays for months, and an allergy can show up days later. What a PMU consent form adds: permanence, healing, touch-up, right to withdraw.

A needle depositing pigment under the skin is invasive - like a tattoo. A touchless sink, single-use needles, a medical waste bin.

A different authority, a different way to register, a different approach to paperwork.

Showing a task without the why ends in a mistake when something unusual happens.

PESEL UKR, a residence card, or a declaration of entrusting work: status sets the hiring path.

No running water, a tent, twenty clients. A festival stand runs on different rules: hand disinfection without a tap, pre-sterilized tool sets, a short card.

The regular stylist is on vacation but the salon runs on. Substitute contract or freelance, who trains the new person on safety.

A bride with bridesmaids, the phone nonstop, a full calendar. Cards, patch tests and disinfection apply the same in June as in January.

30 degrees out, acetone evaporates far faster than in winter, and AC without filtration just recirculates fumes.
The hygiene plan is the second document Sanepid asks for after the sanitary procedure. 2026 template with fillable fields and a list of GIS-registered products.
December 31, salon closed, count everything: polishes, drill bits, gauze, towels.
E-file dust, acetone fumes, gel allergens, carpal tunnel, back strain. Nail-stylist risk assessment - 18 factors on 4 pages. 2026 template plus a guide.
From January 2026 the anti-mobbing policy applies to micro-employers too, and a whistleblower channel from 9 staff.
Monthly limit of 3 499 PLN, but a stylist doing 12-18 manicures at 130-180 PLN hits it in 2-3 weeks. Why unregistered activity rarely works for a nail salon.
A client returns with swollen brows and a possible 50 000 PLN lawsuit.
What changed in Sanepid, RODO and OSH - one email per month. No spam, no course pitches.
