Is a 25.00 pedicure worth your life?
A friend went to the mall for a pedicure ~ seems pretty harmless don't
you think? Yep not unless you want to an NSS salon! NSS = Non Standard
Salon which is a salon that does not practice the correct sanction
procedures along with a host of other issues. This issue was a simple
pedicure which just might cause someone to loose a toe or a foot or in
some case and I hope not this case but a LIFE! While getting her
pedicure she got cut with cuticle nippers which were not sanitized
properly along with a spa pedi throne again not sanitized properly
which the end result was MRSA and a Strep A infection which is so bad
she has to put acid on it daily to prevent the bacteria from eating
away at her toe any further! So ask yourself next time you want a
pedicure at the mall is a $25 pedicure worth you life?? Not for me
WARNING- WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS AWFUL!!

Last picture after the nail has been removed and will never come back. The green/black is a combo of medication and the result of having to put acid on her toe so that the bacteria does not continue to eat away at her toe. More pictures to follow . Just remember it is NOT WORTH YOUR HEALTH TO GET A CHEAP PEDICURE!!
