THE TEN SPOT® difference
If it’s your first pedi at THE TEN SPOT®, you may notice that we do some things a little differently. that’s because we’re a little obsessive about making sure everything is clean + sanitized. in fact, you might say we’re pedi-antic about it. (eh?!)lots of spas + nail salons say that they’re serious about hygiene, but we’re the real deal. here’s how our strict policies impact our pedicure service:
- we don’t use whirlpool type foot baths, because they’re virtually impossible to sanitize. anything with jets can spread a bacteria called mycobacterium fortuitum, which is as scary as it sounds. seriously, google it if you’re brave. so jets are out. instead, we use foot basins that we sterilize after each use. there are no corners or crevices for bacteria to hide in, so we can be sure that we’re 100% nailing our self-imposed sanitation regime.
- it should go without saying that we fully sterilize all tools between guests, but we’re saying it again, just in case. all of our pedi tools are stainless steel. we clean them after each use, and then soak them in sterilizing solution to get them #clinicallyclean.
- we dispose of anything that can’t be sterilized. that means the nail files, foot files and buffers. anything used during your pedi/mani are only used on you. we think this should be standard practice in all spas, but unfortunately it’s not.
- you won’t get a “foot shaving” or have a razor tool used to remove dead skin at THE TEN SPOT® that’s because those tools can’t be sterilized to our standards, and the practice itself could be dangerous as it increases the risk of breaking the skin. instead, we use single-use foot files to remove all the rough skin, and finish off with an invigorating scrub and foot massage for super smooth feet.
