contact with dry blood

i have a question regarding what happen to me but let me start by telling you the story .. i went for a waxing and the lady was using  the roll on wax and she couldn't  get the wax out  so she rubbed it aganist a napkin on the table and then applied it to my skin. she had already started waxing before she did that.. when i was getting ready to leave i noticed that the napkin with a cloth strip that she had used on the previous client and it contain some blood on it even tho it wasnt it direct side that the blood was on it was folded in half and it had stain thru the other side.. now my question is being that she applied the roll on wax to my skin after she touch the blood is there a chance of me obtaining any disease if the cloth was there for 5 min the least and the blood was dry, and i didnt have any open cuts i jus had irritanted pores and i didnt see any residue of blood on me ?

your question is complicated, your risk might be small for HCV in this case not clear what kind of contact, but to my fund of knowledge, not as good as others here, i have heard the virus can survive in dried blood on surfaces for up to 10 days. ...i personally  am wary of going to salons and reuse of equipment and products used on others for that very reason. even though they say they sanitize stuff, i don't feel confident it was done, or done right enough for my comfort.
