A fifth of nail bars could be unsafe, says CIEH
So that means 4/5ths ARE safe, and only suggests that 1/5th may not be.
If you have certificates relating to sanitation standards - make sure they are displayed in a very obvious place. And make sure your certificates relating to your training are displayed too. This will help the public to identify quality salons from poor ones
May be a long post Marian - but it was also a Kick-Ass one!!! :hug:
You know this GMTV twaddle has made my day today..... why you ask.... well.. A few of my clients saw this this morning and couldn't wait to tell me that it is official.. I rock their Nail World (their words not mine).... lol..... they even realized that the take on MMA was not correct because I had already told them about it and it has just reassured them that I am safe and well educated Technician..... Now thats a positive outcome from a very negative start of the day. So thanks GMTV, you have just boosted my ratings lol.....
So keep your clients informed ( but don't scare the pants of them), well cared for and they will be happy and healthy bunnies.

Can I just say in my defence (I am a home trained mobile nail tech) I don't let the industry down in any way......
I think I am going to print this out and keep it with me to recite when anyone asks me!!!!!
Would it help if we bombard these web sites with the correct info.....while it is in the news???? I know it has happened with the radio 1 web site yesterday but GMTV said it was on their web site too.
As a qualified Nail Tech I find it, as I know many others do, so frustrating when this sort of rubbish is broadcast to the public. :irked:
Got to do the school run now and then a client but later today I will try and send an e-mail to do my bit......anyone else going to join me????!!!!!

Yes it is publicity, but not good publicity! Clients are who have not yet sat in front of a nail technician and had a nail treatment will not be aware of the other professional techs out there. So to them the review on gmtv would have been a deterant rather than ' well ive been to a salon and she/he does everything right so im in safe hands'.
My clients that saw the gmtv programme said they didnt bat an eyelid cause they know I have high standards which i carry throughout my business. it is not these clients I am concerned about, it is the prospective clients I need to build my business.
Anyway I sent a letter to GMTV voicing my opinion and made sure they knew that the number of profssional nail techs in the industry outweigh the bad. Clients should be pointed in the direction of professionals, not put off completely.
