I know. And the nail tech was fresh out of school so I expected her to follow sanitation to the T. How do you get rid of the film? I always clean the pedis with cascade and bleach for 10 minutes and then wipe the bowl to get rid of the film with a towel.

How do we get owners, techs, stylists To be accountable for this!!!! It's killing me. Vicki!!!!! Ya !!!!! Watching!!!! This this thread!!!!! I am dying here. Ladies we can't stress enough how important it is to properly clean your pedicure tubs, jets, sinks, whatever it is you use. You need to use a product that removes the biofilm also!!!!!!! If any of you have ever had the great pleasure of listening to Vicki Peters inform us Techs about this silent and unseen villian. You know what I am talking about. If you don't let me break it down real fast for ya'll. Ok, you know those lovely, wonderful, smelly, products ya'll use that have the oils in them, the scrubs in them, the lotions in them. Well, they all leave a BIOFILM behind in the jets and pipes of our pedi spas, tubs and sinks. So, bacteria, fungus, germs, diseases, and anything else nasty and disgusting collects in this biofilm. Do ya'll get what I am saying here. So if the pedicure spas, tubs or whatever aren't cleaned according to the products directions. Yes, according to the manufacturers directions. Guess what??? Ya???? Ya'll might have figure it out by now. This is another reason why I personally have gone one to dry pedicures. My clients actually like them so far no one has asked to put their feet in. There is a product line out there that does remove the Biofilm!!!! And clean and polish the pedi surface.

The only thing they care about is whether the biz is in the red or black.

You know what she told me? That I follow the rules too closely when it came to sanitizing my implements and pedicure bowls!!! I was FLOORED! When I informed the owner she said for me to tell her she had to sanitize like I do but never followed up with it. Unbelievable.

The stylist working as a nail tech gave 3 people serious infectious and one of those people was one of the spa managers and she never fired. I finally left. Using that as just one of the many many violations they broke on a daily and weekly occurance and I wasn't going to risk my good name or good practices for all that. So to let all ya'll know it isn't just the non-standard salons that make or carry out violations continuously. I also know of another well know dayspa in the area that had violation problems too. It's everywhere!!!! I just had a student of mine hired at a very HIGH END SALON and the manicure area was very nasty and wouldn't have passed state board inspection if they had visited when she statrted there. So ladies alot of salons out there have gotten lax lately and need to shape up. Ok enough of my soap box.

This is both chop shop and nss. Many techs use the nss term as it is nicer than chop shop. Nss places can be very upscale salons not following industry standards. Years ago some of the sector that is referred to as chop shops started to scream racist because it was close to chop suey!! I guess they never realized that chop suey is actually an American made recipe. It makes no sense! Anyway you choose the term for you. I call it as I see it. I will start calling them salons when they follow the standards that I follow and board regulations that I follow. Those photos say it all.

If anyone ever saw this and then still continues to patronize those chop shops, then they deserve all they leave with. Go take a look.
