On Sterilizing & Looking Pretty
Its very important for me when going to get my nails done to know they sterilize everything, and no I'm not talking about wiping everything with dettol. I'm talking about sticking manicure kits, scissors and whatever else in sterilizing bags and putting them in an autoclave. Just like you do with medical instruments.
I actually have to see them taking the instruments out of the sterilizing bag, otherwise I wouldn't let them touch me.
In Kuwait I never saw that! The whole sterilization process! When I asked how they sterilized their stuff they usually gave me different answers but non were the autoclave. Which is the safest way to sterilize! Not even in the high end places, and forget about the people that come to your place!
I'm hoping things have drastically changed in the past couple of years, but if they haven't, then my advice to you is always ask how your place of preference sterilizes everything, and ask that the instruments be taken out of the bag in front of you, just in case. Or buy your own manicure kits and take them with you.
Beauty parlors/ saloons/ barbers or whatever else you kids call em, are a disaster zone. Its all in the things you can't see with your naked eye. You don't know who the person before you is and what kind of bacteria and diseases they carry.
so please be extra careful!

Oh thank God that it's not only me who thinks that way : ) they keep telling me that I'm obsessive and suck .. huh! Well about me i bought my own kit since 2001 and I always use them whenever I want to have mani or pedi, I also use my own nail polish! And I totally agree with you : D
Enshallah! ;p
bs u're right you never know whether its been used or who used it before you .. i once when to the hairdresser and brought my own hair brusher with me!

This post is going to make soul a happy person
You know how many places in Kuwait DO sterilize their equipment?
For example.. where I go do my nails I bought my own patch from them, so they keep it and also whatever not in the patch is sterilized!
Dont go to a beauty salon, but try a nail specialists and there are a lot of them in Kuwait.
My friend, who is a doctor, told me once she was in the salon and an older Kuwaiti lady was doing pedicure and she spotted fungus in her toenail and told her politely to check it... she turned mad and started yelling at my friend.. SHINO DOCTORA!
Imagine! YIKES!
I trust my barber hes actually clean lol at least he has his own kit that he carries in a bag and not use what in front of him like other places
Ya you are right ^^ what i did was bought some stuff for the barber just for me and every month i get him the disposable razors which are enough for a month or so.
i have someone come home to get my nails done and i always have them use my own set.. my sister takes her own set to the salon, we even take our hair brush with us if we r getting our hair done ;)
I usually never sterilize anything, nor do I care if things are sterilized in barbers or anywhere else.
I also don't get sick. I believe this is due to a strong immune system that I acquired from all those bacteria and human debris and shit exposures that I had.
If you sterilize everything, you deny your body the chance to build a strong immune system.
Also, you could end up like Howard Hughes.
Just buy your own kit. That's what I do.
Hmm, I have seen that done only in a salon next my house, I mean in in Switzerland.. it's very clean, you feel that when you go inside.. the hair brushes and everything are sterlised..
My friend always tells me to take my own kit with me....
Bs the place I go to always take the stuff out of a bag... soo madreee.... is it safe.... ?
Ashwa im not alone... sometimes when im at the salon doing my eyebrows agol let me do mani and medi as well... then i remember... so i dont do them at salons anymore, i always call queen nails since u see all the equipment sterilized and in seperate bags, even after usage their put away seperatly to be sterlized
Get them to your place and let them use your tools :D
I have my own kit which I steralize from time to another in the clinic..
ansam: a lot of nail specialists in kuwait do take the instruments out of the sterlizing bags in front of us but guess what? the color on the bag that indicates complete steralization didn't change. I saw them once wiping the instruments with alcohol and then packing them in the bags!! totally fake!
Own kit is the best thing..
أأمن شي ان الوحدة تاخذ اغراضها معاها و خلاص،هذا اضمن شي
و مرة حطوا عن هالسالفة بالجريدة و قالوا ديروا بالكم وايد لأن امراض الكبد وايد قاعدة تنتشر و هذا غير مرض الايدز بالاساس
I know cuticle cutting presents higher risks of catching an infection, not only that but also they'll grow more. That's why I don't get my cuticles done whatsoever even after they sterilize their instruments. It's not like they need to be removed, in fact they're hardly visible so I don't understand why some manicurist insist that they should be removed. It's so unprofessional of them but I always let them know in advance that I'm not getting them done just to avoid their looks
kilihom they sterilze hal ayam
yep never use but my own stuff !
Why don't you buy your own autoclave? :P hehe
I tend to make sure they use a fresh blade anytime they shave me, it is as simple as that for me. Nothing much to it, other then that.
I can understand how you feel about sterilization, it just has to be clean!
That's why I do my own nails ;)
I don't feel comfotable having strangers do stuff like that for me...
never go to any , buy ur own kit. stay safe :P
I always get that phobia, i pop my eyes while getting a manicure to make sure it came from a new pack!
Good brief and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you for your information.
