The Ultimate Guide to What to Get and Avoid in Pedicures

Firstly, ensure you use a liner in your bath to prevent cross-contamination. Avoid using a cheese grater or razor blade for callus removal. Removal of ingrown toe nails is considered surgery and nail technicians and cosmetologist are not allowed to remove. Ensure that all implements are sterile. A single-use nail file is a must. Be observant of your surroundings. Notice if implements, such as a nail drill, are being reused on different clients without changing the drill bit. Ask questions about what they are using. Leaving a review is good, but the State Board doesn’t look at reviews. If you need to report unprofessional or unsanitary conditions, you need to call the State Board.

Now enjoy a great massage, have your favorite color for your toes.

• Don’t shave your legs the day of your pedicure, hair follicles are open and you can potentially get a bacterial infection.
