Hopefully they open new utinsels for each client! I don't ever recall seeing any nail salon use brand new tools on me. Yikes!

ALTHOUGH she didn't give them to me afterwards, so I wonder what she did when with them. Now that I think about it, I didn't see her throw them away! Aaaah! I will definitely have to research some new places...but they do such a a fabulous job: "ProfessioNAIL & Spa"<br /> in Rancho Cucamonga on Foothill.</p> I got my nails done over the weekend, and I am happy to say that my nail lady opened a new package of utensils before getting started.

My aunt is a doctor and when she described all the diseases that were possible to catch even through a prestigious salon I knew that i was not ready to sacrifice my health for pretty flowers and fancy manicures. I also find all the rhinestones and flowers to be tacky, so why not have a trip to Target and get few fancy nail polishes that you can apply yourself and still look pretty (and be healthy)?

Hello! Our bodies are our temples. I am snobby about my shoes and jeans; it's time I start getting snobby about my feet as well.

When it comes to your health you should be, you deserve the best! If you have a salon in particular that you go to and you trust, you're lucky...stick with them!

I don't trust any other nail salon to touch my feet. We all know how particular I am about my feet so I only trust them to the BEST!!! I am terrified of getting any type of foot related problem because a salon is dirty so I will keep my SNOB status and keep on my trusted track! Thanks for the heads up Leeann!

I found an article on the CBS News Web site saying she testified at a California state legislative hearing back in 2005. If it can happen to a celebrity (who probably dished out a lot of money for her nail care) then it can certainly happen to us. So be careful everyone! Thanks for the input all!

Do you take it in to the salon with you? I too have a hard time staying away from professional pedicures, especially now that it's summer. I just recommend that if you are going to get a mani/pedi, and you don't feel comfortable (with the tools they are using or the employees themselves)-- get outta there and find some place more suitable. =) The personal nail kit is actually a great idea Stephanie!

Maybe it wasn't Congress, does anybody know?

I just went to a newly-opened salon and they offered me a personal nail kit for only $3. I keep it in my glove box so I always have it with me!!!
