Answer 1

I will not go to get my pedicure from any other place than my usual place for this same reason. There are exceptional nail tech out there & situations like this give them a bad name.

Did you know that for $10, you can buy your own set of pedicure tools (cuticle nippers, files, blocks, razors) that you can bring with you to your appointment to ensure you are the only user of tools & eliminate infection... well worth the investment.

But, if that isn't an option, I would make sure that I see that the tools are sanitized before sitting in the chair. You should not be embarassed to ask, it is a state requirement that they properly sanitize the tools.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, however it was my hand. i started going to Regal nails in Jan. After 2 more trips I noticed a green line on my nail. I had the gel removed, but it was to late. I have to take an oral antibiotic that can cause liver damage. I am seeking council as of this week. That sucks !!!!
