I went to a nail salon asked the tech if she could use a callus blade?

she explained it was illegal,because of infections.


What confuses me is that I know someone that just got a tattoo in thier mouth and that is legal.


I know It's two totally different cases .But it seems tattoos in the mouth would be worst.How does the health department determine what can be legal or not ,(when it was legal)The nail tech used brand new blades never touched by anyone eles,but yet tattoo tools are used on many clients you just hope that they are sterlized.Also the mouth is very dirty lots of germs .Seems like a tattoo would be high prone to infection.I went to a nail salon asked the tech if she could use a callus blade?
Actually tattooing is much safer than nail salons simply because of sterile equipment. Nail salons aren't as stringent with the decontamination and they often use the same tools on multiple people. I have never had a tattoo where the artist used non-sterile equipment. It is a known fact that callous blades promote infection. Any time you have any sort of cuts on your feet, you are more likely to get an infection after leaving the salon. There are enzymes in your mouth that promote healing and make it less likely to cause infection. What you need to do is go get a product called a ';pedi egg'; and use it yourself. You may have seen it on TV, but you can buy them at Bed Bath %26amp; Beyond. They work much better than a callous balde and are much safer.I went to a nail salon asked the tech if she could use a callus blade?
I dont know where you went, but I get pedicures once a week and they use a callace blade every single time. It is not illegal at least in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Florida. I travel back and forth from all these states all the time so I know that for a fact. THe salon could be doing that for their own personal safety incase someone would try to do that.
Tattoo shops in most states are held to Health Department codes and policies on cleaning and sterilization. Nail salons are not. My guess would be that the callus blade is not ';illegal'; just against policy at that shop.
Tattoo needles are disposable.
Being a nail tech. i can tell you that it is illegal in some states, but not all. It is mainly illegal because it is honestly real easy to cut to much and then the client will bleed, so that leaves us with 2 situations.


1. People usually get pedicures in the summer where they wear open shoes, or in warm climates. If there is small cuts on the feet, it is very easy for infection to occur. Think about it your feet are closest to the ground, were there is a lot of germs and bacteria.


2. The client will bleed all into the pedicure chair wich is unsanitary, especailly at the corner nails salons with the asian women instead of a salon. Yes, both places do clean the inside of the tub out, but they do NOT!! flush out the pipes. This means to fill up the tub and let it drain to clean out the pipes with the water from the last client. Without doing that what happens is that when they turn on the jets the water comes in from the pipes which was the past clients water which could have blood from scraping, and is now in your bath.
