How do I get a safe Pedicure?

FAQ#14
Is it safe to get a Pedicure?

Answer:
Yes.  We have compiled guidelines for nail salons.  We also offer nail salons free lectures on providing a safe pedicure for their clients.  Our website has a list of nail salons that have participated in our program.  They display a certificate of course completion hanging on their wall.  Please feel free to suggest this Free program to your salon.

Already Going To Your Salon?
Keep the following in mind:
1. Don't trim your nails prior to your appointment.  Many women tend to overcut their nails.  Leave it to your professional nail technician.  It is better when they have something to work with.
2. It is important to make your nail professional aware of any problems that may exist.  For example, a specific skin or medical conditions, a painful nail or any breaks in your skin.  This can prevent any issues from arising.
3. Invest in your own equipment.  Make sure that it can be cleaned in an autoclave.  Then have the instruments regularly sterilized.  Many salons have an autoclave.  If not, we would be happy to autoclave your instruments.  There is a small fee associated with this.  The small cost for sterile instruments will definitely help in the prevention of any infections.  Visit us: www.advfoot.com to find out how to purchase quality instruments.  We can also help with sterilization.
4.Ask for a new nail file and callous scrubber.  These instruments harbor germs and skin.  You can always bring your own.
