We offer Dry Pedicure & Manicure Services.
What are dry services?
A dry manicure or pedicure is a service that doesn’t require long soaking in water which can dehydrate the skin that can lead to other skin conditions and can potentially put each client at risk for infection. We use alternative methods to soften and remove dead skin.
What is AHP?
AHP is Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide. This is a hospital grade disinfectant that works in under 1 min. We first rinse off all our implements with soap and water then apply AHP and let soak for a full 10 minutes to make sure there are no pathogens left. Then once dry we load into high heat sterilizer for another 15 minutes for extra safety. Most people don’t know that barbicide is only a middle grade disinfectant which leaves customers at risk for infection.
What Is an Autoclave?
A chamber for sterilizing metal implements with steam under pressure to kill all bacteria, viruses and fungus on there surfaces. (Sterilization)
We insist on sterilization because…
Sterilization is the only form of infection prevention that can kill all bacterial and fungal organisms.
Sterilization is the only means of disease prevention that can be verified by the client and guaranteed by the technician.
Verification is made by colored heat indicators that only change when the temperature for sterilization is reached by the implements.
The sealed pouches are only opened at the start of the service and in the view of the client.
The used pouches and non-sterilized supplies are thrown away by the technician in view of the clients.
Sealed pouches prevent contamination before use as opposed to post liquid infection holding trays.
The death of several people have been attributed to the lack of infection control in nail salons.
