I did try to get the nurse with three nails affected to do just that, but she wouldn't. Go figure! I'll have to see if I can get this latest client to do something. Those two events occurred at two different chop shops. I have also had clients of mine on more than one occasion to tell me this same place that tore the nail off this last client also used the same pedicure water on MORE THAN ONE CLIENT! Can you even begin to imagine a time where you would sink your feet into the same basin that you had just seen someone else use? GAG. The clients I had that were telling me about this said they tried to put them in used pedi water and they left, but apparently this practice does go on. But when you talk to people about turning them in, etc, they just aren't interested. I guess they're afraid of confrontation.
