ARE NAIL SALONS REALLY CLEAN?

user

Getting our nails done are just the thing to relax and kick back after a stressful day. But who in the world can relax when you just noticed the pedicure chair next to you was refilled after a brief rinsing of dishwashing liquid and water a minute later? If that wasn't bad enough, you saw the same cuticule nipper that was used on a client was replaced back into the disinfectant box along with the "so-called" cleaned metal tools! I decided to get a service done for my birthday. After doing nails services on my own clients, I want the same treatment too. I had no such luck. I always get disappointed when all I want to do is be a client too! I realized that clients think they're getting a good deal by paying for a $5.00 manicure or a $25.00 manicure, but they are all gettiing ripped off. It makes me mad! That because I thought my work was the same as the next nail girl. Boy was I'm wrong when I have seen it for myself! It's no wonder OTHER nail girls seek to get their nail services done by me! They were in my place at one time. I still do my own nails, but it's not the same. I always clean my station and disfect my tools because it's like going to an hospital, they can carry a lot of germs which can become infections or disease! The salon must protect the public while doing their business by keeping germs at a controlled level. When I meet a virgin manicure client, give her the 411 on having her own clean disposable tools to be used once and to have the nail girl only push back the cuticules simply because you'll never be sure it'll be groomed properly anyway.
