WE ARE THE BEST BECAUSE WE CARE.
For many women, one of the great luxuries of life is having their nails professionally manicured. Caution might be the watchword. A new study from Baylor College of Medicine in
Houston concludes that regulation of hygiene standards at nail salons nationwide is poor, reports Reuters. None of the 50 states or the District of Columbia require sterilization of
the equipment even though trimming cuticles usually draws blood. And when poorly trained technicians use dirty instruments, disease can easily be spread.
Reuters reports that the foot baths used to soak customers' feet before a pedicure have a high potential to spread fungal and bacterial diseases. That happened in 2000 when
severe bacterial skin infections were linked to a single nail salon in California leaving 110 customers with disfiguring leg wounds. "We were just waiting for an epidemic to happen
because the conditions were ripe for an outbreak," lead researcher Dr. Shelley Sekula-Rodriguez told Reuters.
Sekula-Rodriguez surveyed the licensing and regulation procedures of state cosmetology and barbering boards. Twenty-four states responded.
* West Virginia and Alabama have the highest standards for nail salons, requiring use of a high-level, hospital-grade disinfectant to clean equipment for at least 15 minutes.
* Connecticut is the most lax of all the states. It does not regulate the industry and has no licensing requirements.
* Kansas is the only state that requires technicians to wear gloves, which protects both workers and customers from blood-borne diseases.
* Most of the states require nail salons to immerse instruments in a hospital-grade, low-level disinfectant for approximately 10 minutes, but Sekula-Rodriguez told Reuters this is not
a sufficient disease-prevention measure. For the instruments to be sterilized, they must be immersed in a high-level disinfectant for at least four to 10 hours.
Why is the nail salon industry reluctant to adopt the proper cleaning and sterilization procedures? Sekula-Rodriguez says if the salons were to follow the recommended cleaning
procedures, they would have to stop using the equipment during business hours while it was being cleaned. For example, to kill the tuberculosis bacteria that lurks in the pedicure
baths, technicians must use a bleach solution for 10 minutes followed by a 10-minute wash with disinfectant and this has to be done after each customer uses the pedicure bath.
The study findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology.

How to Choose a Nail Polish Color: Choosing the perfect color for your fingers or toes might seem a little overwhelming since there are hundreds of nail polish. Sticking to a few simple guidelines will make your decision much easier and make your nails look fabulous. Step One Determine if you want a new nail polish color for a special occasion, the workplace or just everyday wear. Step Two Choose a bold or dramatic color for special occasions. Choose a fun color that you would not normally wear every day. Step Three Forget about matching your nail polish color to your outfit; you'd be changing your polish every day. Instead, opt for nude-tones or other sheer neutral colors for the workplace or everyday wear. Step Four Choose your nail color based on the mood you are in at that moment. Any woman can wear any color. Skin tone has nothing to do with it. Have fun and experiment with your color choices. Step Five Choose bottles of white, pale pink and clear polish to complete a traditional French manicure. For a fun new twist on a French manicure, try an apricot or peach color instead of pink. |
