According to the National Health Surveillance Agency, the activities carried out in the area of beauty care and aesthetics without medical responsibility are considered of health interest, since they may represent a risk for both professionals and clients, once the environment and the activities performed are conducive to the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms. In this way, biosafety practices become important within this segment due to the exposure of health risks to professionals and clients. This work was an integrative review, with the objective of verifying which biosafety disagreements for beauty care and aesthetics establishments are evidenced in the scientific literature. Original papers were searched from January 2008 to December 2018. The descriptors used were: "containment of biological risks", "Health Surveillance", "Beauty and Aesthetic Centers". The nonconformities listed were the non-us of equipments for individual safety, the reuse of single use materials, the lack of knowledge regarding to methods of sterilization of reusable materials and the inadequate use of sterilization equipment. It is concluded that most of these non-conformities are directly related to work habits, which demonstrates the need for educational actions on biosafety for professionals in the segment.
