Bring your own manicure and pedicure equipment with you to ensure the instruments will not be used on anyone else. This will reduce your risk for getting athlete's foot, toenail fungus, bacteria or warts, but it isn't foolproof. If dirty towels or foot tubs are used, there is still a potential for problems. Defend your cuticles. Don't allow them to be clipped or cut.
Cuticles keep bacteria from getting under the nail bed.
Look out for illegal equipment. Razor blades that are sometimes been used to cut calluses off the feet are considered unsafe and are definite no-nos in salons in California.
