You should be wearing gloves when your doing that

@GoesTheRain if its too difficult then continue what you were taught. i dont, its not hard to use implements with gloves on, unless youre really not willing to practice. my implements dont slip out of my gloved hand, its not a slippery surface. im sure you also learned that a sanitized hand or implement isnt 100% "clean", sanitizing is mereley the first step, your autoclave is the last step for your implements, im assuming youre not sticking your hands in an autoclave, hence the use of gloves

cutting the cuticles is alot harder then that. it actually takes alot of time and practice to cut it correctly

@starsovertexasnails

None of my pedicurists have ever used gloves and I wouldn't want them too. Their hands are always very clean and when I went to cosmetology school we were taught to always sanitize our hands before working with a client. If you use gloves, you can't gives as effective massages and its much more difficult to work with the tools. When using sharp tools like the trimmers, if you were to slip because of gloves, you could injure your client.

She's referring to the bottle. If she were to apply the solution directly to the clients feet, bacteria could work its way from the foot into the bottle, and contaminate the solution and other clients when she would use it again.

lol i got them snippers i thought they were a bit small 4 nails lol

[trezantrez]

You say for sanitary reasons but you still touched her feet with bare hands?

@videodoe calm down it was a simple mistake geez.

[videodoe]

"For sanitation reasons???" What, are you taking out the trash? I believe you meant "SANITARY," dear.

[FireFlamesrocks]

just use cuticle lotion.

every school teachers NOT to remove the cuticle on toes, youre breaking the barrier and making it more susceptible to infection. using cuticle "remover" such as the brand used in this video is cuticle away and highly corrosive and usually doesn't need any implement to "remove" anything, that's the point of the remover. and yes you can put it directly on the toe, as long as you don't touch the bottle to skin. the unsanitary portion of this video is the pedicurist not wearing gloves.
