Chapter VI · Note 03

We never file a visibly infected nail

Filing an infected nail releases particles into the air.

Filing an infected nail releases particles into the air that can be inhaled or land on tools and surfaces.

For the safety of every client and our team, infected nails are not serviced.

This is non-negotiable.
