According to a 2016 article published in Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, it's a good idea to limit the frequency and time you spend under UV lamps at nail salons. Additionally, ask the salon owner what type of light bulb the use. LED lights are a better option than UV lights. If you are going to use a UV light, wearing UV-protected lenses over your eyes and fingerless gloves on your hands can protect you from excess exposure.
