First of all, Oregon, give yourself a hand! Our state has avoided the same kind of bacterial infection outbreaks that have plagued other states in the past several years. And we want to keep it that way.

That's why the Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) and Board of Cosmetology are launching a new public education campaign, called Safe Salons. To keep those harmful pathogens and other potential hazards at bay, we want practitioners and the public to be educated about salon safety, health and infection control.

Let's all work together to keep the salon experience in Oregon safe and healthy!
