Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

Guess what! Your Nail Salon Is Kinda Toxic https://t.co/nCqJaCxEqd via @karriedisma1 — IPhone (@TechNewsBeat) November 13, 2018

Trying to get your nails done? You may have run into the nightmare of getting too many allergy-inducing chemicals on your nails. The salon is probably not hygienic, and thus you may want to avoid this place if you suffer from food or cosmetic allergies. It’s time to go elsewhere and get your mani done at a salon that does its best to clean up after itself.

Want your nail salon to be safe? Try these few tips.

1. Make sure you select a salon with well-trained and properly credentialed staff. This one word says it all: CLEAN. If your “personal colognes, tampons and emergency foods were not removed and brushed from the counter before I arrived” then you know the salon isn’t hygienic, after all.

2. When choosing a nail salon, ask what steps they take to protect your skin from toxic substances. Is the salon showing you a list of cleaners, acid cleaners and other substances the salon uses to sanitize? Without knowing the ingredients, you can’t judge what treatment you should use.

3. Make sure your nail technician uses the right tools in the correct proportions. If she treats your cuticles with knives, she may be poisoning your nails.

4. Get your nails thoroughly cleaned when you get done. Many nail salons don’t get their hands on soap and water to thoroughly clean their stations because most don’t have the equipment necessary. I highly recommend the Finnish-developed dojo, which cleans your station with special two-way liquid and UV lights at the same time.

5. Check the nail salons to make sure all the ingredients in the products they use are safe. If your nail technician has not read every label, she’s doing a service to you.

6. Another tip: Be sure your nail technician uses your pick. If the palm of your hand is getting too dirty because she’s using fingers, she’s probably not using a clean fingernail brush.

Going Nail Tummy:

Hydrate – during and after a manicure.

Sweat away – Dry skin is transformed into makeup from outer to inner corners of mouth.

Get out of the toilet – Never soak your feet in the bathtub or towel dry your toes.

Surf – The water warms the tissue.

Spend no money – Only use your own dry cleaning.

Mani hair:

Hydrate – shingles say, “Get up and sing!”

Rub – scalp is wrapped in a scarf around the head, which holds less oil and dirt.

Pour – send excess oil and dirt from the bottom to the other side.
