I am worried lately about diseases at nail salons. I am trying to make my own manicure and pedicure kit. I have the nail buffer, clippers, a foot scrubber, a file, cuticle pusher, and small scissors. What else do I need?

you need some oils that soften up the cuticals, something to soak nails in, lotions for softening the skin, and some polish if you choose to do that and some polish remover. For your pedicure you may want to find something you can soak your feet in to soften up the bottom of your feet before scrubbing. good luck.

I've been doing nails in California for 20 years, and they are very strict on sanitation. I think it's great that you want your own kit. All the stuff that you said that you have is all you need, you shouldn't have to worry about getting the products, that is safe, it's the tools to be concerned about. And if you really want to feel safe, you have the right to ask the salon to let you see the sanitation log book on there pedicure chairs, if they don't that would be a red flag for me. What I tell everybody you get what you pay for in this business, so if you go cheap on your nail services you can run into problems, go to a day spa for your nail services.

I am speaking about the millions who are being infected through contaminated cross shared piercing, tattooing (ink), manicure, pedicure, podiatry, in less extend acne extractions and hair electrolysis needles and instruments. Health authorities are not doing what they should do to stop or prevent this public health threat. People should only use personal, disposable or correctly autoclaved tools for these procedures. With 400 million people already infected with one of the hepatitis B,C,D,G etc. viruses and many ordinary diseases spreading fast, users of shared tools need efficient sanitary rules to prevent effectively these contaminations. Users need more protection!
