I will not cut ingrown toenails. I do use a thin file. If you show them how to do it, sell them a good thin toenail rasp, (is that what you use, Deb? I think one of mine has the melon baller on the opposite end) I think that is the term. I picked up some great ones at Chicago last year. This way, you start them on it and then it is up to them to continue. Plus, they will have a much better pain tolerance when they do it themselves.

OK so now she got relief from the deep cuts for 2-3 weeks, but pedi's are generally 6 wks, so now shes coming back sooner.. oops.. I really dont think thats a good business decision! One recent pedi I had they used this really great new drill bit (Simmy can tell you about it). Immediately I was in less discomfort, I have not been in pain for a while, some days, just some level of discomfort. About 2 weeks , maybe it was only 1 week, I was getting the numbness and pain again. I discussed with the tech and I also spoke to Simmy who explained while this is a great bit, it really should not be used on pinchers like I have. I've got this fantastic itty bitty melon baller thingie tool hahaha I know there is a proper name for it .. but it escapes me right now :) and it does a fantastic job of cleaning the nasties out of the side wall Deb At 10:38 PM 2/10/2011, you wrote: > > I agree with Debbie.
