Throughout the country, thousands of men and women want beautifully manicured hands and feet, but at what price are they willing to pay for such a service? Salons throughout the nation provide such a service as manicures,artifical nails, pedicure and other services that could put your health at risk. There is good evidence that bacterial, fungal and viral infections with warts and Hepatitis C can occur when nail implements have not been properly sanitized and have been used on many people. You are putting yourself at higher risk when the skin around the nail is torn or the cuticle has been separated from the fingernail. Some symptoms reported by dermatologists are pain, redness, itching, swelling and pus in or around the nail. Yellow, green and green-black discoloration are signs of unsightly bacterial infection. Fungal infections are those with blue-green discoloration. In this modern day of vanity, how do we protect ourselves? Federal and state regulations require nail technicians to have a number of classroom hours along with practical training and various states require technicians to maintain a license. Implements must be sterilized by autoclaving (heat sterilization) or chemical sterilization. The technician should wash their hands before they work on a new client to protect the client and themselves. The client can further protect themselves by using their own personal manicure and pedicure kits. Body Toolz Inc. has introduced a Personal Manicure and Pedicure Kit. Our Kits include a cuticle nipper, files, pushers, buffers, foot files, toe separators, slippers and nail brush in a handy clear bag. These kits were designed for the Salon and Home use. At Body Toolz, we are always looking for innovative ways to keep the client/technician well informed of new products and the latest technology. A Beautiful You is Our Business!
