Manicure And Pedicure Precautions For Consumers

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation rules require that all non-porous manicure and pedicure implements must be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized prior to each service.

  1. Make sure the salon and operator are currently licensed.
  2. If you have, or suspect that you have a skin infection, do not get a manicure, pedicure or utilize the foot spa bath.
  3. Do not have any type of hair removal service 24 hours prior to a pedicure or manicure.
  4. If you have broken skin or lesions, such as cuts or nicks, do not get a pedicure or manicure.
  5. Take a look around the salon to determine if it is clean, free of trash and set up with clean instruments.
  6. The following materials that are used during a manicure or pedicure shall be replaced with new or clean articles for each client: terry cloth towels, finger bowls and spatulas that contact skin or skin products from multi-use containers.

Well, before going to the salon, they can always ask the workers on when was the last time they took their tx cosmetology ce, if it has been a long time, their licenses as cosmetologists or nail technicians could very well be expired.
