I ever got fungus from pedicure in shopping centre here. Always go there for pedicure but the shop denied I got it from them :faint:
Singapore is still safe I think. My scariest experience was in Batam. The salon looked upmarket somemore. Throughout the pedicure, I wanted to kick myself for agreeing to do my pedi there and was literallyHarlequin:
On a serious note, please bring along your own set of tools for cutting cuticles... read that there are a few ppl contracted AIDS from sharing cuticle cutting tools.
Even in Vietnam, the nail spas there do not have tools for customer, each has to buy her own from them.... not sure why this is not practice in SG.
:nailbite: :scared: :sick: :shock: as I watched the pedicurists passed around the single pouch of unsterilised tools to share and instead of filing, they scraped the dead skin off sliver by sliver and tossed them all over the floor......Never again. :faint:
I stopped manicure and pedicure completely when I know somebody went manicure and pedicure before she knew she has HIV.
So, better own your own tools. -
TheAnswer:
I bought mine from the nail spa... the cuticle nipper, nail file, nail buff, nail cutter, toe separater, foot file etc...
Where to get those tools?Harlequin:

Used to bring home after use, but now I am lazy so just leave the whole pouch in the nail spa, they do tagged every customer's pouch.
For the cuticle nipper, best one is from Vietnam, don't buy the Israel one, the tip chipped easily.... Best if you got any friends going to Vietnam, tumpang them to buy, only 3 US$.... the same one is selling at $42 in the nail spa I go to, faintz! So high mark up :rant: -
I am very hygiene conscious, example, I will try to go as early as they open shop, be the 1st customer of the day to use the sink… cos the foot sink is at least left dry over night. If not possible to go early, I will get them to spray alcohol all over the foot sink, especially the 排水口 there where all the germs harbour, and left for 5 mins before allowing them to fill up the water. Kiasi, me!

Never have Pedi/Mani in my life, prefer to spend $$ on massage/facial/foot reflex.
Yesterday, dh and I went to JB for Thai massage 90Rm for 1.5 hrs. It was our 3rd visit. It’s much cheaper than those package in Sg reflexology. -

oic. It is important. I know a lady whose husband is a clinical podiatrist. She told me she never goes for mani and pedi because her husband would have so many stories about patients who were infected at these nail places. Ever since then, I dare not go too. I do love the look though. If there is a reputable place (where they SCRUB the sink and really sterilise all the towels and equipment), then I will consider. -
My day off today.
Pottered around in the garden for about an hour. Loosening soil, picking off pests, fertilising, pruning and harvesting some lime, curry leaves and basil. I know sunny days are better for the plants but I prefer this kind of cool cloudy drizzly days.
Sipping on hot green tea now, enjoying the peace.
Kids will be back in about an hour. -
I’m stuck in school waiting. Hungry too
Anyway, hope to catch ‘wolverine’ later
