the Diabetic’s choice for worrY-FREE NAIL SERVICES

People who have been diagnosed by a Physician with diabetes, cardiovascular or other conditions for which nail services can be particularly risky must be especially careful when looking for these services. Truth be told, nail schools do not normally cover any information about safely providing services to these clients. In order for a licensed Nail Technician to become accomplished in this area, it is important for her/him to seek out and obtain additional education beyond what is provided and required for State licensure as a Nail Technician.  The majority of Nail Technicians do not pursue this valuable complement to their skills portfolio, erroneously assuming that what is learned in nail school will do, and are therefore unaware of the many dynamics and challenges presented by providing vital routine foot care to these types of clients.  At-risk persons definitely should not be receiving nail services in an everyday, run-of-the-mill, high volume nail salon.  Additionally, whirlpool footbaths can pose SERIOUS risks, when not properly cleaned/disinfected/maintained to at least State standards and, since you personally cannot attest that this is being done, you should avoid pedicures in this manner at all costs.
