Chapter VI · Note 04
Why we will politely refuse to file a visibly infected nail
Filing an infected nail releases harmful dust. We choose safety over one service.
If a nail is clearly infected (colour change, crumbling, red inflamed skin), we will not file it.
Filing releases pathogen-filled dust into the air. That dust can affect you, the next client, and the technician.
We will explain kindly and suggest seeing a doctor. Losing one service is better than risking everyone’s health.
