I'm have a nail salon in my home. I'll always clean&sanitize my whirlpools,sanitize my metal impelments,throw away any thing that can't be sanitize

thats why i don't go to local nail salons anymore, the last time i went was last month i went to a salon and the nail techician used exactly same pedicure cleaner/cuticle pusher on my toenails to open a plastic bag for a paper flip flops! that made me uneased!

I now only paint my own nails and go to beauty schools cuz they always use ETA strays for the nail tools!

Gee. And I only quit going to salons because they always leave spikes at the corners of my nails & I'm a cheepskate. I may have had this happen before, but blamed it on allergies, as I get similar scars from chigger & sand flea bites...
