Dirty Nail Salons?

[@ColonelMarcellus]

Alcohol is not a disinfectant -- it's an antiseptic.

[@mizzlexi09]

Damn can I get this job? I wanna go in inspecting nail salons.

[@marlomills6800]

me too!

[@joycer6867]

a 500$ fine only? thats a joke.

[@siannuh.]

Joyce R that’s a lot for them because they don’t make as much as you think .

[@barbaramatthews4735]

$500 per violation. They found several violations. That would be thousands of $$$.

[@siddaye]

There are so many loopholes to these situations it's saddening

[@kobe.4363]

my mom owns a very clean, popular nail shop down here . i showed this to my mom and she said “ ok “

[@dianasalinas9239]

they should shut them down

Inspectors don't do enough to implement rules

[@ketket1]

I went to get a pedicure last week and noticed the lady was cleaning the foot bowl beside me with a bottle of hand soap. I will not be going back there

[@amusementparknut]

LadyKet Sweetheart before you get plantar warts, fungal infection or loose a foot (yes it happened to someone) stop going into these Asian Salons and go to a regular beauty salon with an English speaking staff. I know how it sounds, but it is the only way you can be sure you won't contract a big nasty!

[@ketket1]

Yes you are right. I need to do some research and find a good salon in my area.

[@shae5053]

amusementparknut I totally agree!!

[@melanier7309]

They should have used bleach.

[@ladytosha15]

😂

[@Scorpio.Iamher.]

They should of closed the salon right then in there because customers are still coming in.

[@melanier7309]

*right then and there

[@marlomills6800]

ABSOLUTELY!

[@kelvinhuynh32]

Once time at our nails shop, we give out 3,000 nails tools to each customer. Each tool come with one plastic box, one files, one buffer. But only about 10 of the customers still bring it back everytime they come to my nails salon now.

[@hottiemomful]

kelvin huynh yes I go to a salon that does this also, so sanitary

[@crystalhalliburton2144]

kelvin huynh you cheap

[@jenny9343]

Maybe label all of them and have a stack in the back somewhere safe?

[@kellyfreeman3540]

kelvin huynh I'll that is dirty. it's suppose to be new each time.

[@barbaramatthews4735]

You can buy files and orange wood sticks in bulk. Use plastic bags if they want to take them home. I was a cosmetologist and know that it is a small price for doing business. Fines and law suits cost more than a box of disposable nail files.

[@cjmislan]

That was not much of an inspection, if clients are being worked on inspect there too. And I'm sorry if a business gets more than one violation they should be letting those customers know and closing its doors for the day until fixed. That also doesn't let them open back up without another inspection. How could peoples standards get so low that they subject themselves to dirty tables and tools. Washing your hands to remove dust after a service is not going to fix being cut by techs who don't know what they are doing. If you get a staph infection or HIV from someone who sat at that table 5 minutes earlier and got a scrape on their skin, then so did you, who's going to pay your medical bills. These types of places have shoddy work and even worse standards of hygiene why even visit them.

[@lpcookie1]

I kept thinking of that poor lady getting her nails done in the background. In my mind I'm yelling "Run!" Lol. Yes, if I was the inspector, I would've had the place closed immediately after finding no disinfectants.

[@user-el4ef3eu6j]

this is why I do my own nails 😀

[@jessicadavid7156]

t s oh Good for you

[@alwaysshort3082]

Same 😂

[@jenny9343]

Yup

[@katenguyen2263]

me too. better do your own nails

[@vietboylonely]

Good for you

[@GREENLALI]

They need to make the fines higher and take them to court. Make the inspection more often till the business is shut down

[@mellutz3681]

Fungus is free with your next manicure 💅

[@laminh1861]

Am free after ur manicure lol

[@anastasia10017]

when you go to beauty school, you are trained to follow state sanitation regulations. when you take your state license exams, you are tested on sanitation laws. When someone opens a salon, they know the sanitation laws. The problem is that hospital grade disinfectants and sterilizers cost money $$$$ and owners often look to cut costs there because the customers cant see it. The manicurist workers also know sanitation laws but cant do anything if the owner will not provide the proper disinfectants and sanitation. I have a friend who is a esthetician and his salon boss is too cheap to pay for disinfectant and he is so disgusted, he brings his own disinfectant to work with him. go after the owners, not the workers. They all know the laws.

[@issasecretsecret7814]

now imma go in looking for markings on my buffers 😂like sir throw that shit away please

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you for posting this, I really hope if raises awareness about some of these discount salons. If you are looking for cheap nails, there is a reason they are cheap! They have to be cutting their expenses some how, and it might just be that they don't even purchase the correct sanitizer.

[@LovePrettyNailsLady-Jay80]

These inspectors should have those swab reste for bacteria and such. The kind Gordon Ramsay goes around using to test dirty hotels. Just to see how clean and sanitary the salon really is. Especially in that foot soak

[@hutchu1]

They’ve been doing it for years they will never close them down

[@desertdiva9771]

Whaaaat?!? These inspectors feel that unsanitary conditions are okay? I don’t go to any Asian salons since they follow no rules for cleanliness and disinfection.

[@trinitylivingston1286]

Disgusting that they don't disinfect! That place should've closed down and this is why I do my own at home!😝😝😕😕

[@Jonathaneve5]

Stateboard don't give a fuck about customers..they just wanna fine and make money for themselves.

[@tychau100]

Bao Nguyen people like you are ignorance fuck, uneducated about safety procedure. Go back to Vietnam if you don't give a fuck about how's this country operated!!

[@Jonathaneve5]

How's this country operated? Im the uneducated one?

[@tychau100]

Bao Nguyen Seriously do I need to explain it to you? Ya should know the law over here, how's the system work right? U fuck up you paid the fine that's it. Simple how's hard for you to understand that? unlike Vietnam all the piece of shit they so call the Vietcong law they fine you for nothing!!

[@Jonathaneve5]

How's hard?

[@steve-mr8uy]

+Bao Nguyen I am Vietnamese who have sisters who own nail salons. I am happy that the state board is there to check on customer safety. It is best for the whole country. There are rules and regulations to help maintain safety for people.

[@JohnDoe-ft2nh]

The client who always complains about the cleanliness of nail salon usually the dirtiest client.Example:A woman walks in our salon early morning for a pedicure with very dirty feet like she's worked in a farm all day,imaging what her bed sheet looks like? She just got out of bed.Gross,gross,gross.

[@nellynell2324]

John Doe Clean them feet!..that's your job foot scrubber..lmao

[@JohnDoe-ft2nh]

Civilized people can tell the difference between " pedicurist " and " foot cleaner ".There is no such thing called " foot cleaner "But if your foot is dirty and you need help,you would have big problem! I'm wondering what"it" would look like under the garments.

[@nellynell2324]

John Doe You clean feet for a living I don't give a fuck what you call it?

[@engels.a]

As from someone who came from a country with no required license on doing manicure/pedicure service, I am very much interested on learning from countries with standard regularization. Some of my questions are, how many times the nail files, buffers should only be use in a client? or just use it once then discard it already? Thanks.

[@meganavila8171]

only once. every client gets a brand new file, buffer , & pumice stone. all metal implements need to be disinfected after each client. scrubes with antibacterial soap , rinsed then completely submerged in Barbicide.

[@engels.a]

even the solid pricey pumice is disposed immidiately? Aw -_-

[@meganavila8171]

One time use, unless its plastic or metal which can be disinfected. You factor supplies into your pedicure cost

[@PikabooxxD]

The stateboard workers looks unhealthy and unclean.

[@mht5875]

So glad I attended a modeling school in my pre-teens where I learned to do my own manicures/pedicures. I cannot be paid to go into one of these businesses.

[@baraka7004]

They don't care as long as they get money.

[@o.4244]

I wish those people to come to London and check what’s going on in Chinese, Vietnamese and so on nails salons. Many of them will be closed

[@5608aliza]

BS because inspectors call them giving them a heads up so the clean n disinfect, but when the inspectors r gone it’s back to unsanitary . TDLR n osha

[@dianaalmeida6790]

thought the same, they were warned, those inspectors look a bit slimy

[@helenubina6968]

About 10 years ago there was a outbreak of infection on legs and feet. Turns out the Asian salons can be very nasty. And I say Asian because that was what the salon owners were All Asian.

[@michellevuong2080]

State inspectors can tell all they want but Behind the curtain is another story.

[@iiikawaii__queen342]

I found this part hilarious how the guy was about to speak 5:06

[@rachelcrawford5248]

I wouldn't go to a non Vietnamese salon. The boy that does my nails is perfect, friendly and can do anything I ask. And they last very long sometimes.I am not Vietnamese

Follow your common sense. You don’t ask the dish if it’s cleaned when you go to restaurant.

[@joshuarock4631]

as a nail tech I will always reuse buffers doing acrylics I spray to sanities but not sterilize only my metal equipment , I use min files and buffers new per client only for mani pedis smh change the rules in the beauty industry its soo old fashioned needs to be new

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Joshua Rock why not just buy new ones? What are your state board laws where you are loacted?

[@zacktran3273]

Do you want to pay more for your services we will provide new equipment every time you come. You want to pay cheaper service then live with it .

[@courtneydorsey9142]

If I wanting get my nails done I will say is your tools clean if not will not be coming back your Nail shop until your tools are clean

[@phunghuy3000]

You better bring your on tools or pay extra to get new tools. You get what you pay. Nothing is free

[@dangbao2007]

so don't come.You won't make their income improvement,so nobody cares you come or not.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

b king it's the salons responsibility, not the clients. SMDH!

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Bao Dang eww...you keep going to nasty chop shops!

[@karelynabbott9639]

Tiff Hubbs 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@dazzling9606]

bring ur own personal manicure/pedicure set..just make it sure only ur nail clipper and nipper/s or nail purshers is always sharp. medium jaw nipper is good.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Dazz Ling that's good but salons are still required to clean them properly before using them. Most don't, but that's part of the issue here. It takes 10 mins to soak, and it's going to be at least 15 mins extra if you bring your own tools. It's easier just to find someone who takes pride in their work.

[@daphnerodriguez9980]

THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜

[@bamrlayang6151]

I agree most owners doing more dirty tool than employee, at one place the owner never wash their stuff, just allow there employee wash in the spa after finishing pedicure, that owner is Vietnamese, the owner gave me food I'm afraid to there food might not clean too, when customer called state board to complain, when state board arrive they also so smart lie too, in my mind I said oh God, they said no no no we don't do that way.

[@ainvencivel]

it is a matter of asking questions… ok… but people can reply one thing and do other… that is why there are inspections

[@Iceblookatya]

Salons started giving a brand new buffer and nail file I think it’s a great solution

[@thaominh7989]

You get what you pay. You can’t require more than this for a 40$ fullset or 20 bucks pedicure.

[@multifandomk-popstan6175]

I go to two different ones and both are really sanitary and so luxurious feeling but pretty expensive though I don’t really care about that but Definitely didn’t expect some salons to be able to not have any disinfectant 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@tammyjohnson4414]

Awee so now people are complaining about the nail shops?? If you don't like it then why waste your money and go? Do your own nails or go somewhere else. These people are working to get money not necessarily to satisfy your every needs. I seen so many fights at nail places it makes me feel disgusted. It's honestly really simple, don't spend your money in something that's dirty to you, just don't show up.. Am I wrong?? I'll wait... :)))

[@kayabottono8280]

Tammy Johnson if they don't know how to keep things clean and keep their clients nails infection and cut free then they shouldn't be in the industry at all and should ALL BE closed down. This is a skill that requires a lot of education and thorough knowledge of infections diseases and hygiene.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Some people don't know what to look for. There is a celebrity nail tech that was on a TV show. She has her own salon and she is so dirty. People don't see what's wrong with it, they say everyone used dirty implements so why is it a big deal? They're blinded by her infamy, they dont care. Gross.

[@mildlyirritatedkpopstar4136]

Nail salons can be a quick and desperate money grab for people who often don't have marketable skills or even a decent ability to speak English. Why would you expect anything better than third world cleanliness when going into certain salons? Lol.

[@starlite556]

They are not disinfecting their salon equipment so they should have been closed right then and there. State Board is not protecting the public like they should. People can die from staph infections that is why I will not step into nail salons.

[@kathyadmire6919]

starlite556 I agree! They are not disinfecting nail tools! Shut them down! Serious violation!

[@lizhale6693]

This must be an old story or just made up because inspectors don't even go in them anymore why bother they shut down under one person's name and open right back under another's and they're all the same please don't fool yourself

[@marlomills6800]

THEY WILL NOT DISINFECT THEIR TOOLS.

I live in Post Falls Idaho and there's a place called Happy Nails hear that cleans their table with the file that they just used on someone else and thinks that they can just use it on you and then the man got nasty and rude when I demanded a new file it's gross there's no excuse for it at all the people don't even speak English and then you have women walking around in there that look like they belong down on they look like hookers and it's always different people I'm legally blind and do nails better than they do so where are these people coming from how are they getting a license it makes me sick to my stomach why because they're Vietnamese or Korean what entitles them more than anyone else I'm sick of it do something about it

[@phamthien3408]

..... give us money to buy supplies, first!.............how many customers we got for day?!. how many supply like as buffer/file we have to throw away it's same how much money we have to throw away...............everyone think for them self. did everyone think for us?.............. we work over 10 hours for day, live with chemical around us all of time, swallow food without chewing when customers coming (did we have a real lunch time?), never have time with their kid. then a lot of customer always to find something to complain about us. to make our salons shutdown. ----State-board how many mistakes we have how much money they got ---------->

[@MrMrpomzemzuag]

Pham Thien. do you do nails free for costumer? or they have to pay for services every time they get it done?

[@phamthien3408]

did you work 10 hours/ day? and do you know how hard of this job? and you said: you want free, did you work without pay? who will pay bill for us? who will take care our family? who will filling gas for our car? do you know we have to work with toxic everyday? and when you come to 40-50, i swear with you, you never have a good health? who will help us? you or government??

[@PikabooxxD]

At noi rat la dung. Chuc ban suc khoe tot va con cai manh khoe.

[@MrMrpomzemzuag]

stupid

[@calinahodges]

Pham Thien So, how about the food workers that work like you do with no breaks and are doing the same hours or even more. So should they not wash their pots and pans? how about their hands? How about under cooked meat since you can slack off and cut corners to make ends meet.Would you complain if you got sick from a food worker that doesn't care? So get off your high horse and think about others.

[@Diamndgirl20]

Im freaking out my schools implements are so bad they're WHITE they look wayyyyyy worse than those buffers I told them how can they use them over and over again ? they told me they can sanitize them with alchohol and thats what they do for everyone they make them reuse foot paddles with the same claim that they sanitize them with alchohol now here theyre saying its illegal but at school theyre saying it depends on your state which is it !? they also just spray everything with water plain water ! not soap n water not alchohol n water.water. like thats going to do anything if not make things worse.The worse thing is what can I really do about it I'm stuck in a contract I cant break :'( I actually did but they guilted me back into returning and "commiting to my future" more like their wallets ! They also told everyone was theyre getting a kit valued at $500 and its a flipping dollar manicure kit..... barely 4 weeks in... :( I can tough it out n do the best I can but will it be good enough for the stateboard :/

[@RandeT73]

+MAKE ART NOT WAR I'm in North Carolina and in Cosmetology school. We're told if its porous toss it out. Only metal and plastic can be sanitized and disinfected. We use Sanitizers and disinfectants on our work stations and tools. I know here in NC you can look up on the internet the state board regulations, rules and laws. You should contact your state board. We had a state board inspection at our school recently and it wasn't good, because some students weren't cleaning their tools because they figured what did it matter we only work on manikins.

[@Diamndgirl20]

Thankyou so much thats a really good idea im especially worried because the tools are white and crumbling apart they're so bad They spray the poros pieces with alchohol stick in barbacide and reuse untik it falls apart and my nails are now growing really strange and theyre telling me I did it to myself when they have never been like this before !! I also broke out in a crazy skin rash for a week which Ive never had before on my face and I was wondering if it could have been contact dermatitis. I thought they where giving us a kit theyre giving us a dollar store manicure kit at THE END of your course everything they want you to pay out of pockect and I cant afford my own clean tools now because Im paying them. Theyre trained to clean the station with A SPRAY BOTTLE FILLED WITH WATER. Not disinfectant though they have regular cleaners around were not allowed to use them to clean only WATER and they also resuse their foot paddles on EVERYONEEEE for pedicures and its pushing me to the point of madness Im afraid of backlash Im afraid nothing will change and theyll make my life hell but im more afraid of my nails permanently staying like this as well I really hope they can help me. Thankyou so much for your advice Im going to try reaching out to them a board member here ♡ The thing that saddens me is they expect everyone to be quiet and not say anything about the big elephant in the room that is were using dirty tools I feel like this nasty terrible habit will stick with these girls after they graduate.

[@RandeT73]

+MAKE ART NOT WAR The first week I was in school we were told that anything porous was to be tossed out and was not able to be cleaned. I would seriously be reporting your school to the state board. One of our local private schools just got shut down a few months ago for not giving out proper materials and having students reuse materials that were designed for 1 customer. I'd highly recommend that you wear gloves when working on a customer. These salons are the reason I went back to school to get my license. I'm over seeing my friends and family getting fungus and infections from these shops.

I live near a small city which has several nail salons. I wonder how they make enough money, doing nails, to keep up their overhead (shop rent, utilities, etc) and pay their employees. Do they really have that money customers? Their parking lots are almost always empty and only occasionally have a car or two. Or is it that expensive that they make enough money from just a few customers to pay their overhead? I wonder if they do old man's toe nails?
