I like to share information that I learn of on the internet. I believe that my sources are reliable and accurate. But ever so often I come across something so shocking or gross, that I choose not to share it for fear of only God knows how many things. I found this article to be both shocking and gross. But because this is something that we as women so often use and the results could be so bad, I felt it was my responsibility to share it anyway. In spite of the fact that now I want to change my whole position on ever going to another salon. Read this article and let me know what you think of it. http://www.qualityhealth.com/psp/9-diseases-you-can-get-at-the-salon/featuredArticle.jspa?rf=29576&mc=MTQ0MjA4NzA.

Umm I am totally in shock over the full article. I go to salons to get my nails done from time to time, even my hair (at least twice a year). I haven't had any issues so far but still, one can never be too careful. Thanks for sharing that article, got me rethinking.

I have been to the same salon for manicures and pedicures and haven't had any problems with them so far. Let's hope it stays that way.

I know what you mean, it really made me rethink some things. We do not know how well they sterilize their equipment after using it on a previous client. In fact, I do not recall seeing the places that I have gone to, do much cleaning. But then again, they would refuse to do their hair at all if there was a visible problem.

That is good. It seems that the more we do ourselves, the less danger we find ourselves in.

Ewww, I am so glad that I don't go to salons. I knew that you could get some of that stuff, but then some of that stuff surprised me.

I was surprised by a lot of it. This is something that I will need to pray about, I need to go and get my hair done soon.
