Safety Tips for DC Pedicures
In a busy city salon, speed can become the enemy of hygiene. Before your service starts, ask whether tools are cleaned between clients, whether porous files and buffers are new, and how pedicure bowls or basins are sanitized. If a technician is rushing, it is acceptable to ask for a fresh file, skip cuticle cutting, or pause the service.
Product Recommendations
- Disposable nail files for personal backup.
