According to Podiatrist Dr. Robert Spalding, author of “Death by Pedicure,” he states that “at this time, an estimated one million unsuspecting clients walk out of their chosen salon with infections – bacterial, viral and fungal.” There is always a risk of infection when you visit a nail salon. It’s possible to get cut and not even know it! And if you think about how they never turn customers away, whether they are sick or have an infection, you could easily catch something.[1]
Watch out for the cleanliness at your nail salon! Don’t be afraid to ask about their disinfecting procedures or you could even bring your own instruments to the salon.
