I went to a nail salon the other day. They had the "normal" massage chairs also called " throne chairs". A customer came in after me and they put  her in a special chair with a detached pedi basin. I asked her what the difference was and she told me that she avoided the "normal throne chairs" because the  attached whirlpool spa contained fungi and other stuff.  WTF. Is this really true.  As I was walking out I asked one of the employees and they told me that it costs $3.oo extra if a customer uses the detached pedi basin.

Some salons don't change water and clean things out as often as they should.  I'd be picky about it and ask them questions about when it was cleaned etc.

Here is an article with some tips for a clean pedicure experience:

You have to watch out for staff infection. If you have cuts that are healing I would wait until they are closed before you go in.


It isn't often that a woman's feet get to relax. Constantly on the go, with careers, family, and other commitments, the feet often take more than they deserve. Making the time to visit the beauty salon for spa pedicures rejuvenates the feet and keeps them looking their best.
