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
