Not to take anything away from the relaxing “me time” you like having at your favorite manicure salon, but if you’re not careful, it may quickly become a nightmare. Robert Urfer, the creator of Lucas-Cide Salon and Spa Disinfectant, provides five suggestions for a secure and enjoyable visit to the nail salon below.
Show up for your appointment 15 minutes early.
You may not want to stay motionless for another 15 minutes, but Urfer claims that’s the only way you can see how hygienic your salon is. Check to see whether the salon staff is taking any extra precautions to sterilize their tools and equipment. “If trash cans are overflowing and dust is collecting on shelves, do not trust that the foot baths and nail clippers are sanitary.”
Check The Salon’s Certification.

Even though it’s only a piece of paper, this speaks volumes about the salon’s credibility and willingness to accept responsibility in the event that something unfortunate occurs. This needs to be displayed on the wall next to the door so that customers can see it readily.
Examine If The Salon Disinfects Its Tools.
Some salons use UV sterilizers, which are appliances that resemble toaster ovens, but Urfer claims that they don’t properly eliminate microorganisms. “Make sure they clean their tools with a powerful liquid disinfectant and that the solution does not appear cloudy or foggy. Also ask if they test it regularly with test strips.”
Examine The Cleanliness Of The Pedicure Tubs.

After each use, do the technicians clean and sanitize the footbaths? If so, are they doing it correctly? Make sure the professionals wash the tub with hot, soapy water, he advises. “Then it should be filled again with water with the proper amount of disinfectant. It should be left running for at least 10 minutes before being emptied and cleaned.”
Ensure Both Your Hands And The Nail Technician’s Are Clean.
Make sure your nail technician cleanses her hands before beginning any acrylic nail or filling procedures. She should also wash your hands with an antibacterial gel or spray.
Of course, you cannot go to a nail salon without preparing a few design options. Below are the 36 best nail designs we have carefully picked out. Let’s choose your favorites and take them to the salon with you!
