Credo Blades/Razor Blades? NO NEVER!!

I have just been made aware of how many Nail Technicians use blades in their pedicure services. OUCH!! I have never used these blades and will never start. Let me list the reasons: State Law forbids to use anything that contains an edge. Only a podiatrist is able to use these blades professionally. Also, we are not taught how to use these blades in school, so how does one go about learning? Someone was a guinea pig. OUCH!! Many "quickie nail salons" have "inexpensive" prices. Well, let's think about this, if their pedicures only cost $15, how are they making money to stay open? They are "cutting" corners, probably not throwing away blades, and re-using them on other clients, creating a cross contamination. YUCK!! Let's put an end to shaving our calluses. These calluses are there for a reason. Shaving them only perpetuates the growth, until it grows out of control. Calluses should be buffed down and smoothed out, not removed. There are many professional products available that smooth out calluses, providing great results in 3-5 minutes. The next time someone pulls out a blade on you, tell them "NO" and report them to the State Board: (505) 476-4690. Using a blade does NOT need to be tolerated any longer!!
