    Which are best products to retail?

    ... I'd say footfiles are a MUST retail item. I recommend them to clients to keep their feet in good condition in between pedicure appointments! Kx

    My Wilde-Pedique, what do you think?

    I think you have beautiful feet and toe nails and have done a great job with the french polish - it really compliments the nails. Everyone's nails are different and I think the thin white really works well here! Nice job! Regards, Karen

    How do you tell a client...

    ...I ask all my clients to wash thier hands before they sit down in my chair so I'd have no problem handing the lady a nail brush and asking her to scrub before hand. I also wash my hands before each client - it's called sanitising... ;) Kx
