Pati, I use the chair Sally's sells. It costs like $1100 but I found one on Craigs List for $200 from a salon that remodeled. It is a stylists chairs set up on a platform and you use one of the foot baths with it. Ohio board recommends them for sanitation purposes. You can have the customer up on the throne to work on them dry or wet. It works for me because I was on a budget but it's not necessarily for everyone. To me I can still offer the comfort of the nicer pedi spa chairs without the expense.

To: [email protected] Date: Friday, November 13, 2009, 2:53 PM Wow it's slow on here lately..only getting like 2-3 posts a day...I miss y'all! LOL! ANYWAY... I have a question... I want to get a pedicure chair...I hate the one I have ..it's not a spa it's the hydraulic chair on a metal base ..with a footrest. You put a "tub" on the base to soak. Very uncomfortable for me to work on them also. I *thought* about going with dry pedis...and I wasn't happy with just that. For some clients that is good...I like working on calloused heels dry, with product, because I feel like I get better results. BUT...when working on some other clients...I felt they needed to soak so I could do their "toe work" better. (My mom for example...elderly, with knarly toes, thick etc...) SO....I want a spa chair to be able to soak them AND for my comfort...and theirs. SO...my question is....would you buy a used chair? My hubby wants me to buy a used one...I don't want to because my feelings are that I do not know how the previous owner cleaned it and what's growing in there. He says I can clean it and disinfect it and start "new". What are your feelings about this? I can show him your answers...or maybe you guys will change my mind... He doesn't want me to charge it and I do not have the cash for one right now. I think I will get more pedis also with a pedi spa set-up. help! Pati When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry... Show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
