Oh man…you love to ask the toughies!! LOL. I would say if it’s a reputable place and you have confidence in their sanitation and sterilization then maybe??

Honestly, I avoid those places like the plague. Anytime the cuticle is removed there is the opening for bacteria. At this time, it’s on my no-no list along with acupuncture which is killing me!!! I miss my sessions.

But my gosh, so many of my friends who are immuno compromised have weekly mani-pedi’s and do just fine. My advice is to be mindful of sterilization. I have one friend who purchased her own pack of instruments and has them sterilized and used only for her. Little chance of cross contamination that way. Just a thought…

Good tip @loribmt on buying my own tools for the manicurist! Also, I know you are used to the highly sophisticated and complex questions, but every once in a while you need a softball question...like "can I get a manicure?". 🙂 Love your kindness and your sense of humor! Thank you for all of it!

Hah! Sorry @hello1234, but I’m with Lori on this one. I know there are reputable salons out there, but many don’t change the feet soaking water, sterilize their instruments, etc. and, you’re relying a lot on people who are often underpaid, make their money on commission, etc.
