New Mexico · Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists · 16.34.7.9(A)(38) NMAC
New Mexico requires a pedicure tub log with the signature, license number and disinfectant, kept 12 months. Log it in three taps.
Under 16.34.7.9(A)(38) NMAC, the salon keeps a log of every pedicure tub disinfection showing the legible signature and license number of the person who did it, the time and date, and the name of the disinfectant used, kept on the premises for 12 months. Techs log at the chair. The Board publishes no form, so ReadyPedi prints a record that carries the rule's own words.

No boxes: the record names each disinfection in words, with the license number and the disinfectant beside it. ReadyPedi writes it for the tech.
The rule
What New Mexico asks for, in plain words.
16.34.7.9(A)(35) to (38) NMAC set how a pedicure basin is disinfected and what the salon's log shows. Here is the log half, next to how ReadyPedi keeps it.
| The rule | ReadyPedi | |
|---|---|---|
| Which units | Pedicure basins and tubs, electrical or not. A tub liner is single use and thrown away after each client. | Set each chair as Whirlpool, Pipe-less or Basin. Every kind takes all three disinfections. |
| Which cleanings | Between clients, at the end of the day, and deep disinfection once weekly. | After Each Client, End of Day and Weekly, each a row of its own. The Weekly is logged after that night's End of Day, and both print. |
| What a row shows | The legible signature and license number of the person disinfecting the tub, the time and date of the disinfection, and the name of the disinfectant used. | The tech picks the disinfection. The date, time, name, license number and disinfectant are stamped for them, and a How recorded column says how the row was made. |
| The license number | Of the person disinfecting the tub, on every entry. | The roster requires a license number for every New Mexico tech, and every row carries it. |
| The disinfectant | Its name, on every entry. | Name your EPA hospital-grade product once in Settings; logging waits until you have, and every row carries it from the day it was logged. |
| The record | The rule names no form, and the Board publishes none; the Department's inspection tips say to keep the log for 12 months. | ReadyPedi lays the record out itself: the rule's own sentence on every page, then the date, time, cleaning, technician, license, disinfectant and how recorded, one record per unit, a sheet per month. |
| How long | Twelve months, on the salon premises. | Two years of history on every plan; Inspection mode opens the last year. |
| Where it's kept | On the salon premises. | The log is on every tablet in the shop. Print a copy whenever it suits you. |
| Your part | Every row, on time, for every tub. | Three taps at the chair. |

Filling in a row
No boxes. The disinfection, in words.
ReadyPedi's record has no boxes to tick. Each row names the disinfection it records, beside the date, the time, the tech, the license number, the disinfectant and how the row was made. These are the three rows.
| When | Cleaning |
|---|---|
| Between clients | After Each Client |
| Closing, the tub had clients | End of Day |
| The weekly deep disinfection, after that night's End of Day | Weekly |
A Weekly row doesn't close the day: ReadyPedi still expects that night's End of Day. No row can be logged until the shop has named its disinfectant.
The record
What the inspector is handed.
A log under the rule's own words, filled in from timestamped rows.
Print any tub and any month. The page carries the rule's sentence, your establishment and license, then every row's date, time, cleaning, technician, license number, disinfectant and how it was recorded. No seal and no form number: it is not the state's document, and it says so.

Instructions
The New Mexico questions we're asked most.
Why does ReadyPedi ask for a disinfectant before I can log?
Because the rule asks for the name of the disinfectant used on every log entry. You name your EPA hospital-grade product once in Settings; until you have, no row can be logged, and after that every row carries the product that was in use when it was logged.
Why does every tech need a license number?
Because the rule asks for the license number of the person disinfecting the tub on every entry. The New Mexico roster will not save a tech without one, and every row carries it.
The rule says legible signature. Is an app entry a signature?
Every row records who made it and how: picked from the roster on the shop's tablet, PIN-verified, or from the tech's own phone, and the record prints that in its How recorded column beside the license number. Whether the Board reads that as a legible signature is the Board's question; ask it before you rely on it.
How long do I keep the log?
Twelve months, on the salon premises. Every ReadyPedi plan keeps two years of history, and Inspection mode opens the last year.
When do I log the weekly deep disinfection?
After that night's End of Day. Both are logged: End of Day first, then Weekly, each on its own row.
Is ReadyPedi part of the Board?
No. ReadyPedi is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by the New Mexico Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists or the Regulation and Licensing Department. It prints a log under the rule's own words from your record.
Not in New Mexico?
Always inspection-ready
