In this section you will find general salon sanitation, hair, nails, skin and waxing articles. There are positive and negative articles here. The negative ones are not to scare you away, or make you afraid of getting salon services, but instead to help you become a well informed consumer.

While this can be a fabulous treat for your feet, and mind, consumers need to be extra aware of sanitation issues pertaining to the "pedicure tubs" used at most salons - you know the ones.. the over stuffed lounge chairs that may even have massage units built in. If these units are not cleaned properly they could harbor germs that could possibly cause infections.
