I am an Independent Nail Tech... and This just cost me some potential clients....I for one clean all my implements between clients and then some.....I have more than one set of implements, that way I always have one put away Clean, Disinfected, AND STERILIZED! I Make sure i don't Schedule more than 4 clients in my work day so Everything is cleaned proper in between clients....I don't have a UV sterilizer yet, so does that mean my implements are dirty? NO! I go above and beyond State Board Reg. for Cleaning, Disinfecting and Sterilizing my Equipment... Yes, I have seen clients come in with Fungus.....and it is a very awful thing to have, But every client that has come in with fungus has got their nails done in the Chain Nail Salons.... and I am in no means Disrespecting this race when I Say it was coming from the Asian ran Salons in My city......I have been in their to see what they do, I have never seen them clean anything, They use their own finger nail to push back your cuticle... They never ask you to wash your hands before your service... I never see them put on a new drill bit or sanding band... I never see them pull implements out of Disinfectant. I have seen them use the foot razor, which are Illegal in my State......They get you in and out and on your way in 45 minutes, So let me say by any means you see this going on in your salon Turn around and walk away......The thing is People go for cheap and Fast, Well in this Business you get what you pay for! I take the time to clean every finger nail before i even start! So if you bring your own implements and you still get a fungus? whose fault is that? Take the time and ask your Nail Technician their means of Sanitation, Disinfection, Sterilization before getting a service.... and if you don't feel comfortable, Leave..... But by any means NOT ALL SALONS are Dirty! Yesterday I was listening to a local Radio Station in My Salon, when I heard this come on…..
