Getting a manicure or a pedicure these days is easy considering the thousands of nail salons and beauty parlors that offer these services. But did you know that these procedures can be dangerous at the wrong hands?

Dr. Richard Scher of the American Academy of Dermatology said that you can contract a host of diseases from your friendly manicurist if you’re not careful. This usually comes from dirty instruments and overzealous cleaning.

“Millions of women visit manicurists to have their nails professionally manicured every year. Unfortunately, occasionally the result of having manicures is developing nail fungus or bacterial infections which can not only look bad but may also feel even worse. Although HIV or AIDS can be transmitted through broken skin that occurs during a visit to a nail salon, this is extremely rare,” explained Tracee Cornforth in “10 Tips for healthy manicures.”

Manicures have certainly gone a long way since they were first used in Egypt in 3,000 B.C. In those days, men and women of high social standing used henna to stain their nails red-orange. The darker the color of the nails, the more important the person was.

Today, it is estimated that American women (and men) spend over billion yearly on nail care products and services. A big portion of that amount goes to manicurists who “treat” nails.

On the plus side, a weekly manicure can make your nails look better, cleaner, and prevent nail-biting which can be a sign of chronic tension or anxiety.

The risk from manicures comes mainly from dirty tools. Some manicurists simply “sanitize” their instruments with a nail polish remover or alcohol. Scher said this is not enough to protect the customer from various diseases.

“Only a heat-pressurized sterilizer offers complete protection. And although the hazards are hardly life-threatening (there are no known reported cases yet of blood-borne diseases like AIDS or hepatitis being transmitted), you can get warts and other infections if tools aren’t properly sterilized,” said Dana Sullivan in Health magazine.

One common nail problem you can get from a bad manicure is onychomycosis or ringworm of the nails, a stubborn nail infection that’s difficult to treat. This can discolor your nails and make them dull, brittle, and flaky. The cuticle becomes red, tender, and swollen, and pus may ooze from your infected nails.

To minimize your risk of acquiring onychomycosis and other nail problems, go to a reputable parlor or salon. Make sure the place is clean and well-lighted. Bring your own tools if possible and keep them clean. If you’re not using your own manicure kit, see to it that all instruments are cleaned and disinfected before and after they are used. Manicurists should wash their hands before and after each client.

If you develop an infection after the procedure, report the matter to your state cosmetology board. Prescription antifungal medications may ease your suffering but not all of them work and some have serious side effects. A better alternative is Somasin AFS. This natural fungus-fighter stops stubborn nail infections in just seven days. Check out http://www.somasin.com for details.

Grooming is one of those things that pet owners look at differently. Grooming is an essential part of your pet’s health. Some people look at grooming a dog as an occasional use of a brush or comb. There really is a lot more to your dog’s health than using a brush or comb every once in a while. Think about it, you as a human brush and comb your hair. You do this to keep it manageable and to stimulate your scalp. You also wash your hair with shampoo to remove dirt and oils.

In addition you may use a type of rinse to help condition your hair. Dogs need the same type of care with their coat, i.e. frequent use of a brush/comb, as well as the routine use of a shampoo and conditioner can really benefit your pet. Dogs have different types of coat; therefore, you need to make sure you use the correct shampoo and conditioner.

Just like people, skin, ears, and nails need to be kept in their best condition for the overall best health of your pet.

Skin needs to be kept soft and supple. Besides who wants to be itchy and need to scratch all the time…this really is no fun for you or your pet. The type of food your pet eats effects their skin. Be sure you feed your pet good quality foods for the best skin/coat results. There are many great shampoos and conditioners specifically formulated to help keep your pet’s coat and skin soft and supple.

A pet’s ears can be viewed similar to a humans ear….they both must be kept clean for your pet’s best health. A pet’s ear can get dirty and oily. Without proper care and attention a pet’s ear can end up with an infection. Keeping the ear clean can be done by using special cleaners. You need to make sure you routinely (weekly) check your pet’s ears, making sure they are clean and infection free.

Using special ear cleaner and the gentle use of a Q-tip, you can keep their ears in tip top shape. Nails need attention too. Keeping up on your pet’s nails is a very important part of your pets grooming. Not keeping up on your pet’s nails is not a road you want to go down. The longer the nail, the longer the quik inside the nail grows. You must take extreme care never to cut or damage the quik. This can cause a great deal of pain for your pet. For the best nail care, carefully use clippers or a dremel to frequently shorten your pet’s nails.

Do you ever walk by a nail salon (or hair salon) and wonder about the chemical health hazards to those that work there or patronize the salons?

In today’s society, nail salons can be seen at just about every strip mall in North America. Unfortunately, so many of these small salons offer cheap prices and hire refugees that are willing to work for low wages. The detrimental health affects are countless for both the employee and the customer (but more so for the employee).

In California alone, there are over 114,000 licensed nail technicians and more than 260,000 licensed cosmetologists. Current data is insufficient, but at this time language is considered to be the most common barrier when trying to obtain workplace health and safety information.

Many young women are in their fertile years and have not even had children yet and don’t have a full understanding of the health risks associated with the chemicals used in nail care.

According to a survey done within the last year from the Northern California Cancer Center and Asian Health Services of Oakland, the women who work in these nail salons suffer acute health effects from the chemicals that they come in contact with each day.

Many toxic and potentially hazardous ingredients, including solvents, plasticizers, resins and acids, are commonly found in nail care products. Three top ingredients of concern in many nail products are:

Toluene - used in nail polish – it is a clear, colorless liquid used to make products such as dyes, paints, paint thinners and explosives. Exposure to toluene can affect the central nervous system with low level symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and fatigue. Toluene is also an irritant to the eyes, nose and throat. At very high exposures, toluene has been found to be toxic to the kidneys and liver, and is a possible reproductive toxin. Formaldehyde – used in nail polish, it is a preservative that has many uses, one of which is embaling. Formaldehyde is an irritant to the eyes, nose and throat, and exposure can lead to coughing, wheezing and asthma symptoms. Repeated skin exposure can lead to skin irritation and an allergic rash called dermatitis. It is also a known human carcinogen. Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) – used in nail polish as a plasticizer. DBP is a possible reproductive or developmental toxin.

Many women surveyed and questioned reported having some health problems after they began working in the industry, particularly skin and eye irritation, breathing difficulties and headaches. These are just some of the apparent health issues reported and doesn’t cover more chronic illnesses.

It should be mentioned that there is a difference between ‘higher-end salons’ and what is considered to be ‘lower-end salons’. As an example, products used in higher-end salons are of higher quality which means better formulation which equals less-toxic chemicals. Such as when you get a typical French manicure or pedicure, it is done by hand with the nail polish. Whereas, at a lower-end salon, it would be applied with a spray that emits high toxic particles into the air.

If you are the consumer, in the long run and for health reasons, it is always better to pay a bit more and go to the higher-end salon to have your nails done. Be sure the salon you frequent has proper ventilation and maintains a high level of cleanliness.

Likewise, any worker in a nail salon should make sure they are aware of any health and safety risks and obtain a copy of those risks in their respective language.

Getting a manicure or a pedicure is like playing Russian roulette. If you’re not careful, you could end up with a nasty fungal nail infection that could ruin your nails!

This warning comes from Dr. Marta J. VanBeek, assistant professor, Department of Dermatology at the University of Iowa College of Medicine in Iowa City, who said that while most nail salons conscientiously keep their places clean, some are perfect breeding grounds of stubborn fungi that can compromise your health.

“Look at the salon with cleanliness in mind and ask yourself these questions: Are the stations clean? Does the nail technician wash her hands between clients? Are there dirty implements lying around? If the salon does not appear clean, then move on,” VanBeek said.

Her advice is timely considering the growth of the salon industry that serves millions of people worldwide. In 1995 alone, Americans spent an estimated .2 billion on nail services, half a billion more than in 1994, according to the Nails 1995 Fact Book. During that time, there were over 34,000 nails salons across the country – an increase of 2,000 over the previous year.

Today, there are more than 50,000 nail salons in the United States with women (and some men) spending more than billion a year on nail care and cosmetics. That figure doesn’t include the number of beauty salons that offer nail services.

People often go to these salons for artificial nails which are the most requested service, the Fact Book said. At the No. 2 slot are manicures followed by nail jewelry and nail art. Unfortunately, these beauty services harbor an ugly secret: they can give you a bad case of fungal nail infections that are common in the elderly and can spread rapidly from one family member to another.

Removing the cuticle is usually the first step in getting a manicure or a pedicure. New York dermatologists Drs. Herbert P. Goodheart of Mount Sinai Hospital and Hendrik Uyttendaele of Columbia University Medical Center said this is not a good idea since it can lead to inflammation and infections of the surrounding tissue and nail root, and cause permanent nail deformities.

“The cuticle is a barrier that protects the skin and the delicate nail matrix, or ‘root’ of the nail. Pushing back on the cuticle can injure it and expose the paronychium or skin fold around the nail, to bacteria and result in infection,” VanBeek said.

Unclean instruments are another cause for concern. While the states regulate their respective salons and their technicians, they can’t always monitor what’s happening in your area unless something goes wrong. And often it does. In 2000, over 100 infections were traced to footbaths used in nail salons.

“Unclean implements are especially dangerous if the skin around the nail is broken. This can occur with overzealous manicuring – if, for example, too much of the cuticle is cut or pushed back too far. If the cuticle is cut or separated from the fingernail, infectious agents can get into the exposed area,” explained Paula Kurtzweil of the US Food and Drug Administration.

To avoid trouble, see your doctor at the first sign of infection. Many antifungal medications are available but they are generally expensive, contain harsh chemicals that can do more harm than good, and may affect your heart and your liver. One notable exception is Somasin AFS, an all-natural fungus fighter made from a powerful herbal blend that destroys persistent fungal infections in just seven days.

Many people would disagree that the best place to go when it comes to having pedicures would be the plush nail salons. Although, this sentiment is pretty much precise and truthful, frequently having to go to the nail salon to get weekly or monthly pedicures can be quite sore on the wallet. One way that you can save cash when it comes to nail care and nail cure is to DYI or do it yourself.

The primary thing that you would require when you choose to give yourself a pedicure would be the right Pedicure supplies and the right materials. Numerous special pedicure supplies can be purchased online. If you are just early out and learning the mechanism of giving a superb pedicure, one thing you can do is to pay for an inclusive pedicure kits.

An inclusive pedicure kit can include scissors, clippers and toenail clippers that are frequently used by nail professionalsand technicians. The toenail file is also integrated in some pedicure kits. One vital thing that you should take note of is that there are several different kinds of files, toenail clippers and toenail scissors on the market. Some of them are specially designed to easily get rid of ingrown nails.

Other things that you would need with the Pedicure supplies would be foot care products. These are intended to ease out old calluses. A smoother or handy foot file and pads and pumice stones can help in smooth the skin from rough spots and corns.

Pedicure supply kits which work on electricity are also available, to help the user be more comfortable using it. This is very good, if you are the type of individual who is on the run or would have problems giving yourself a pedicure or a manicure. They come with special tools and settings that could be sped up or slowed down, according to your pedicure or manicure technique.

These pedicure supplies kits do not contain nail care objects. Nail care stuff can be purchased alone. Stocking up on unusual colors of nail polish may look like a good idea, but make certain that you keep the nail polish in a cool and dry place. Otherwise, you might end up with emaciated polish that would easily bubble or break off after a few days. Also, you can buy some acetone, dry nail polish, cotton balls, nail polish remover, a foot bath, towels, and polish dryer.

The other things, which are important, are the pedicure stool or a pedicure chairs that have footbaths; some have more implicated features than others. Special footrests can aid make your pedicure chair more comfy as well as help make customers feet easier to reach. If you have a pedicure stool make sure, you have an external foot bath or a container of water.

A pedicure stool must also be easily to keep dirt free and clean, so that a spa can assure clientele of a healthy

Feeling apprehensive about grabbing the guillotine and lopping off your dog’s long nails? Does your dog hide at the sight of the clippers and struggle, cry and writhe as you try to pare the nails down without hitting the dreaded quick and causing a bloodbath?

You are not alone. Most dog parents are uncomfortable about cutting dog nails. And… most dogs are uncomfortable about the process too – for good reason.

Our own nail beds – just like a dog’s – are alive with a blood source and nerves. Pinch your nail bed with pliers and feel the pain.

If you use a scissor or guillotine style nail clipper the device applies a significant amount of pressure on the nail before it cuts through – particularly if the blades are not razor sharp. The pressure squeezes the quick – it’s no wonder that many dogs resist the experience and those that have been taught to obediently sit still are enduring pain and discomfort.

The quick is actually a vein inside the nail. We’ve heard the warnings – cut off too much nail and blood spurts – more pain and more stress for both you and your dog.

Your dog is unhappy but the nails must be trimmed regularly. The nails can grow overly long, causing distortion of the foot, the gait, discomfort and the ever present possibility of a ripped or cracked nail which may well require surgical repair.

There is a better, easier, painless and stress less method for perfect dog pedicures – the grinding tool. (Commonly referred to as a Dremel tool developed for carpenters)

Many dogs are touch sensitive to a varying degree and some dogs are finicky about their ears, tails and other body parts, particularly feet.

Before you achieve the perfect pedicure, start slow and desensitize your dog to both the sound of the tool and the ensuing vibration.

Armed with your dog’s favorite treats, start with gentle foot handling, followed with a treat and a ‘good dog.’ Increase the foot rubs and continue treats and soothing verbal rewards. When you feel your dog is comfortable with the foot messages, raise the bar a bit and turn the grinder on for a few seconds (do not touch the dog with the tool) shut it off and give the dog a treat. Soon, the dog will link the sound of the grinder and the foot handling with treats and verbal rewards.

When the dog is more interested in the treat than the foot handling and the sound of the grinder it’s time to gently place the tool to the very tip of the nail – more treats – and move onto the next nail if the dog does not fuss. If your dog appears uncomfortable – just move back to the point in desensitizing where the dog is comfortable. Stay at that level for a bit more time. Dogs have different comfort levels and some dogs take a little bit more time to desensitize. Go slowly – take small steps.

Once your dog has been desensitized, grind away a small amount of nail every few weeks until the nail is at a manageable length. Move from nail to nail to prevent friction heat. If your dog has long hair take care that the grinding tool does not catch the hair. A piece of cheese cloth slipped onto the foot with just the nail protruding will keep the hair out of the way (Use a snood if your dog has plumy ears).

If you are still uncomfortable about nail grinding, ask someone for help – a groomer, a vet, or a dog handler – experienced with dog nail care and grinding.

Training is a continuous process — keep the treats coming – especially when your dog least expects one.
