| - I really wanted to like this place, because the technicians here are friendly. I've been here twice--one for a full gel set, and the second time for a gel fill.
But I'm really surprised that nobody mentioned the use of really, really old nail files. New files should be used on each person, because it's unsanitary to share files or buffers which may harbour bacteria.
The one used on me used to be white, but was getting grey because it was so old. (It might even have been the one that was used in my first appointment weeks ago.)
I think the final straw for me was when the technician (who admitted she was sick that day) filed her own nails with the same file that she then filed my nails with.
I understand the argument that maybe, since my nails were artificial, there would be less risk of bacterial transmission? But when the file was rubbed against the sides of my fingers, the skin got sore, and it could've broken to allow the bacteria in.
Once again, I really want to like this place, and I really want to support locally owned small businesses like this, but hygiene is so, so important with nail salons.
