Irresistible Nails

Ladies, we have all walked into a salon and was like Woooooo….

Your first thoughts was should this place be open or the place looked very nice and clean. Either way, there are some things we need to keep in mind when we go for our nail services.

Watch for any of the following in a salon:
• Salon that does not look clean in general, with any hair or nail clippings, dust or debris on the floor, drawers, tables, or other furniture.
• Salon is using dusty or dirty nail files, buffers, combs, clippers, and other tools.
• Salon is using products from unlabeled or unmarked containers.
• Salon stores tools in a dirty drawer or container.
• Restrooms are dirty or unkempt, lack liquid soap and clean towels/paper towels.

Be wary of salon service providers who:
• Will not show you a current license when you ask to see it. #1 indicator you need to leave that salon & stylist
• Do not ask you to wash your hands or wash your feet before performing any nail or pedicure service.
• Do not wash their own hands before performing a nail or pedicure service.
• Provide services that are painful or damages your skin or nails.
• Cannot explain how they clean and disinfect their nail files, clippers, bits, and tools when asked.
• Cannot explain how they clean and disinfect foot spas when asked.
• Use an implement or other object to forcibly remove or “pry off” artificial nails.
• Do not provide each client with a clean and disinfected nailbrush for scrubbing underneath nails.
• Do not use a clean, freshly laundered or disposable towel after each client.
• Stick their fingers directly into jars or containers.
• Does not disinfect and sanitize clippers after every service….

As Andy Wise would say, please know the score before going in the door! LOL Salons are inspected and receive a rating…Take the time to read the score card to educate yourself on how your preferred salon is rated by State board & the Health Department, if required…..
