It is an undoubted fact that nail technicians have a lot of experience in having healthy nails since they are intertwined with the nails and cuticles of their customers. After many years of experience in the industry, we reached out to nail technicians and specialists about things they would never do to their nails. They shared with us the hygienic, sanitary standards and the details they care about on their own nails.
1. Nail eating
“I never eat nails! This is a great evil that we will do to both our health and our nail.”
“There are many people who do not wash their hands properly and especially the bottom of their nails. Cleaning the debris around and under her nails is satisfying, but when I see this, I wonder if people who eat her nails really know what goes into their mouths. My clients say they usually eat quotes because of their concern and I don’t judge them but I can never do that myself.” says the nail studio owner we talked about.
Getting a pedicure in a salon where you do not know if the materials have been disinfected
“Customers may get infection from the pedicure because of the dirty tools used. As long as I am not sure that the ingredients are disinfected after every customer, I never have a pedicure there!”
“Some technicians think they provide hygiene when they pass plastic cover. It looks hygienic, but when they turn on the water, infectious germs, nail clippings, skin cells and even sock hair can circulate in the foot bath.”
Expert “In between two customers, the bathtub needs to be disinfected for 10 minutes. So someone shouldn’t pick you up right behind. Ask them to wait a few minutes and let them clean right in front of your eyes.” says.
. Using hard gels
“One thing I will not do to my nails is to use hard gels. Personally, as a nail artist working with various brands for social media, my nails need to be free of pre-lost gels. But removing hard gels is not as easy as soft gels. Soft gels come off by soaking, but hard gels need to be scraped and nails strengthened by extending.”
4. Using nail dip powder
“It is not sanitary and is a complete microbe nest… There are no chemicals in this dust that can kill bacteria. Let’s say that the salon is cutting your skin or you have an open wound, now you get what kind of bacteria you get from this fresh open dwelling who knows.”
“It is best to stay away from immersion and just ask for an acrylic coating on your natural nails. To make this stick to your nails, some kind of glue is used, and the applied acrylic normally contains monomer, meaning that a chemical strong enough to kill all the bacteria that may live in the powder
Breaking devil’s nails
“Devil tore off the nail is a very bad thing. Open wound may cause possible infection or fungus. Keeping my hands moist also protects my nails and prevents devil nails.”
6. Peeling the ojens or gels
“Do not try to peel your gel. Peeling products are also harmful, they can peel the layers of your nail. If you do this repeatedly, it will weaken your natural nails very much and cause permanent damage. Definitely take your permanent nail polish out to the experts.”
“People often think that acrylics or gels damage their nails, but it is not. Peeling and ripping your gels makes your natural nails thin and brittle.” says our expert.
Allowing the halls to use the previous tools
“Find a new file place every time or bring your own clean tools.” says. “You can immediately tell if a file is new or not. If there are white spots on it or it looks obsolete, you can ask them to use a new one, do not worry they are not offended.”
