The Infamous Pedicure Throne.

I had a client last week who was happy to see that we did not use pedicure thrones,because they caused foot infections. I quickly informed my client that the pedicure thrones didn't cause infections. The owners of them caused the infections. I explained for the tech, that the pedicure chairs were much better for us, as they were easy on our backs and made the pedicure process much faster us and more enjoyable for them. The problem is techs and owners not following simple cleaning steps.
Which 75% of the cleaning can be done while the client is still in the chair and should be done.
Simple steps like rinsing the tub and spraying the tub with a cleanser containing bleach and quickly scrubbing around the tub. They could leave the spray in the tub while they paint the clients nails. (This is something that all clients should be witnessing at every salon that use pedicure thrones.) Then filling the tub with cold water and bleach and allowing the jets to run for ten minutes kills germs in the jet hoses. Rinsing thoroughly with cold water and drying the tub. Then following with  barbicide spray, all before the next client. Cold water should always be used, because nothing grows in cold water.

 (Hospital operating rooms are always freezing, there's a reason for that.)

I personally love them. They're comfortable, most have massage and heat, making the whole experience a joy. And for the tech (like ME), they make our lives much easier. No need to move heavy pedicure bowls,which can cause back and wrist damage. Take it from someone who knows.
If all salon, nail shops, nail bars or whatever they call themselves, took the time to think about the safety of their clients and practice good sanitation. Nail fungus infections would not even exist. The state inspectors are also the blame for not being on the ball and closing the places that don't follow the procedures that they have set forth for disease control.

I made a promise to myself when I was still in nail school. That no one would say that they caught anything from one of my services. I think that sometimes that I'm a bit too careful, but to this day. No one has caught anything from one of my services.
