Thank you Diana! I use a pedi throne, clean it properly, maintain it properly, and use it properly. My clients like soaking their feet and I like that they soak. I think soaking cleans the feet better than spraying with alcohol and makes my job easier when working on thick nails and when doing cuticle work.
I am not against dry pedicures and understand why some techs do them, just as I hope other techs see wet pedicures.
