I love nails, and 2years ago I got an infection from a salon because the technician cut down my cuticles with infected cuticle trimmers! So now 2years later after finally fighting off this infection/fungus, I'm doing my own nails and soon to be a brand new, extremely thoughtful, caring and considerate nail tech! 💕
I just wanted to learn to do my own nails, but girrrrrrrrrl you got me ready to go to cosmetology school and open my own shop!! ***InMyOprahVoice*** YOU GET YA NAILS DID, YOU GET YA NAILS DID, EVERYBODY IS GETTING THEIR NAILS DID🤣😂🤣 #practicemakesperfect #shereeeaaady
You made me believe I can too achieve my dreams of becoming a nail tech, I am going for my state board testing soon I completed 1,500 hours before I graduated HS in 07, I know I should have got licensed then but life got wild for me and I lost focus but now that I'm fully into doing my own nails I decided to really get serious about it I found out that I don't have to complete the cosmetology program since I got all the required hours completed, girl I am so happy thank you so much for keeping us motivated ❤️!
I'm contemplating on becoming a nail tech, but I'm a university student. I want to offer acrylic services and also do my own acrylics. I LOVE NAILS, so I I'm binge watching your videos. They're very helpful with great content. Thank youuu, new subby💅😍
Former nail tech here, just wanted to say nice breakdown. I would like to add, sterilization is not appropriate for nail salons because it's not possible in that environment, even with an autoclave, for several reasons. First, an autoclave is ineffective if sanitation is not achieved to a high degree, which is often the case in a salon setting, as people tend to think it eliminates debris so they fail to properly sanitize before using an autoclave. This is actually a good way to spread disease. Secondly, even if sterilization were achieved, it would be immediately compromised upon removal from the autoclave in the salon setting, putting the cleaning level to disinfection which is achieved with barbicide. An autoclave is literally a waste of time and supplies in a salon setting. Look for the blue barbicide and clean, unused implements and equipment instead and if a tech does not adhere to these standards, leave, even in the middle of a procedure (like trying to use a used pumice stone on your feet, for example). It's not worth it.
Very essential information that I needed, I use soap and water & the high grade alcohol now , but I will be going to purchase that blue liquid to do them properly . Wonderful video as usual!
I got a pedicure at a salon and my big toe nail turned green soon after and it fell off. Took me 6 months for my new nail to grow. It sucked to not have a toenail because it was sensitive against my shoes. Never went to a salon again. Started doing them myself. ty for step by step demo.
Thank you for this video. Dirty or clean once you cut a diabetic, they can loose body parts. It's not only important to be clean but also be aware of any medication or medical conditions your client may have. Persons on blood thinners can be problematic as well.
Here in California the health department requires every nail salon To not only sterilize their tools but to also disinfect them such as you do and if I own the nail salon I would do both because I would not want to cause an infection on anyone or whether it’s a fungal infection or otherwise I think it’s best and safe to do both and to be proactive at doing both so good for you that you take it upon yourself to do this on a regular basis
i love all your videos :) as for the disinfection, I feel like by letting the implements touch the bottom of the sink after the barbicide, it's getting germs from the sink. maybe it shoudn't touch the sink once disinfected and maybe use a clean container? just my opinion...
Love how informative you are in ALL your videos. Natali, how would you disinfect your service towels the proper way? And Dispose your salon wastes each day?
Thank you so much for that much needed information. You are much appreciated. I love watching your channel. You got me also wanting to attend Cosmetology School.
You read my mind, I have gradually grown my nail supplies, and I was thinking how do I take care of all of these, and then here we are...... tada......
Thank you girl your teaching me so much, you are getting me so inspired to do nails and all these videos reach me so much thank you girl much love ❤️❤️❤️
are we also supposed to be sanitizing/disinfecting the acrylic & art brushes? as well as the dusting brushes? I was thinking maybe spraying the dusting brush with alcohol would suffice but totally unsure. great video girl, thank you again & again. you bomb girl!!! 👍
Jo_r_ T i think acrylic brushes are good ... since she doesn’t take new clients i’m sure she knows none of her clients have an infection due to her properly sanitizing and disinfecting ... and plus if you see an infection or anything sketchy on someone’s nails you should now perform a service
Can you reuse the same file on the same client? I do a friend's nails and I have a file, wooden stick and buffer for her. I just got a disinfectant, before I'd boil them for 20' to sterilise them, like baby bottles😂
I get that cuts and nics can be the root to the problem .. infection but the individuals negligence to get said infection or wound treated in a timely manner is usually the cause for a traumatic result such as amputation
Wow I was literally just looking for vids on proper sanitizing methods and seen that you, one of my faves posted this! I do have one question though. So my old nail tech, if I had any lifting issues, she had this liquid she would put on my nails where the lifting was just in case she didn’t get every tiny bit off. She said it was to prevent fungus. Any idea what product that could have been? I looked up anti fungal treatments but it looks like they’re all for treating it if you have it, not prevention! Thanks in advance, you’re amazing and a huge reason in why I started doing nails!!
Ive been getting. My nails done and I went to Paris nails and I got nail fungus but luckily it grew out and didn’t make my nail come off and at that the nail man told me it was okay
I started doing my own nails due to this pandemic, however I’ve been using pollygel. Today I invested in acrylic powder by glam & glits, with some cheap monomer. What kind of monomer do you recommend for g&g?
The nail filers that says “washable” can I sanitize and disinfect them as well? Meaning I could wash it with soap and water and than use the barbicide? Also do you sanitize and disinfect your drill bits?
Barbicide is actualy not considered proper disinfection and sterilization bc realistically u could cut someone with a brand new file or by nipping etc we use Pre emt cs-20 liquid its the same as using an autoclave. Kills everything even spores. Just like in a hospital. So glad this is the norm here 😅😅
