PODIATRIST DISCUSSES HOW TO CHOOSE A NAIL SALON

posted: Feb. 14, 2022.

According to Forbes, we don't spend enough time grooming our feet, and this neglect can lead to calluses, cracked heels, and shapeless toenails. However, these can be quickly taken care of with one good pedicure. Dane Ulett, DPM, a Piedmont, GA podiatrist, recommends only choosing nail salons that drain, sanitize, and rinse the foot baths between customers as dead skin and bacteria from the previous person may cause infection.

When possible, you should just get a polish change. You don't have to altogether boycott getting pedicures; instead, choose a good nail salon where they take safety measures to keep you and other customers safe. Plus, you can always check to see if they're licensed, which you should no matter how often you get pedicures.
