Getting your nails professionally done is awesome. They look close to perfect, and it saves you work and effort. There are some things every woman SHOULD do when it comes to nail salons, because whether or not we may like it-there are risks. Many infections and problems have occurred in the past. To stay safe, here are some tips to try out at the salon! They will help you stay safe, infection-free, and will improve your experience.
- Don't be afraid to ask how they disinfect their tools. Both liquid disinfection and autoclave sterilization are acceptable.
- If the technician is wearing gloves, that is usually a good sign. Only about 17% of them do.
- Check to see if the floor is dirty. If they are not cleaning and sweeping up pretty regularly, it is easy to find other places that do. This is a sign that they might not be very conscious about their cleanliness.
- Check out the restrooms. If the bathroom at the salon is not as clean as you would like one at your own home to be, this also may be a turn-off.
- Watch where the salon employees pull their tools. See if the tools are being pulled from a drawer of sterilized tools or if they are reusing the same ones from customer to customer.
- Always know what chemicals they are using on you, if any. It should always have a clear, defined label available for the customer.
- Never shave before going to the nail salon, it acts as a portal of entry for bacteria to get in.
- Pain is an absolute red flag. If you do not feel comfortable about the service you are having, it is time to look for a new salon.
