It's over kill and it will leave her nail slightly different (ugly) than they other nail. If she is chronically plagued by ingrowns it may be necessary...but usually proper care can prevent. That whole bit about cutting the nails at an angle isn't what is as important as ...when you cut the free edge down, be sure that your cutting tool is under her nail and poking out the side wall. This insures that you've cut all of it. Sometimes our clients Or under educated techs cut just short of the "actual" edge. They leave behind a small sharp sliver that is hidden in the side wall of the toe. It then digs and buries itself into the skin. I learned this trick in a class I took from Dr. Mix after a NailPro Show in Sacramento. He showed us his collection of those "slivers".....the sight of them gave me the "shivers"!! His class has been invaluable to me and my business! Thanks for posting this Elaine!! I've done this to myself when I was cutting in a hurry. Now I'm such a pedi addict that my girl keeps my toes perfect. No boo boo's. this isn't the prettiest picture...but it explains what I am saying.... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Ingrown_toenail_toothpick.jpg owie. Kind Regards, Elaine T.

I already tried to let it grow out, but it is only getting worse, it is making my client hurt. I've never had one and dont know how it feels, we've tried filing it so that it is smooth underneath so that it grows upward. still no luck. The catch is, is that she also had a nail fungus. >Please help. >-- >You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >"NailTech" group. >To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >[email protected]. >For more options, visit this group at >http://groups.google.com/group/nailtech?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
