Congratulations Karen! Sounds like a wonderful place to work! And also congrats on (I'm assuming) passing your state boards for Texas !!
As for the pedi thrones, do you know what brand they are? Might be worth a try to Google them and see if you can find out any cleaning info that way. Laura M From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Karen Sent: June-18-11 4:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: NailTech:: Need help with "pipeless" pedi throne! OK Gals....you know me. I may be on the cutting edge of the nail industry because of you guys...but I've been rockin' it old school with the pedi bowls! lol I just got hired by a fun, edgy salon and the owner has pedi thrones. She says they are pipeless...and there is nothing to clean behind the screw off cap of the jets. Is that right? If I unscrew the cap/screens...there is a round turbine that is a magnet that clamps itself on to a metal thingie behind each one....and "occasionally you can pop those off and wipe them down." Is that all there is? She says all I have to do is spray the bowl with a disinfectant spray and wipe it out....and unscrew the the screens and be sure there is no debris behind them. She was given no documentation when she bought the chairs so there is nothing for me to read....She has had them about a year and has had 4 nailtechs in there and the last one gave a 2 week notice a few days ago and then left today when the owner was out, so can't ask her. I asked her if she ever ran bleach water in them and she said "they are pipeless...that's not necessary" I'm just wanting to be sure I will be cleaning them completely. Truthfully...I always just sorta skimmed these posts...so any feedback any of you can give me will be most appreciated!!! Next question....this is an Aveda Lifestyle salon...(there are different levels of Aveda Salons)...and I need info quick on the products I could possibly use in services. I know there is a "Hand Relief" and a "Foot Relief"....but what other products could I build a pedicure around? This is really going to be fun I think! I spent weeks....since I first dropped off resumes in March...trying to get hired by 2 different, large 4-diamond resort spas...and the corporate run-around is crazy. This salon is on the 1st floor right off the plaza of the Williams Center-a very large professional building with 13 floors of businesses. I have been in there three times this week, and really like the staff. They're young and fun and trendy. (I'm putting feathers in my hair tomorrow!) One of my times in there was to do trial services...I did a Shellac manicure and a pedicure....very awkward when you don't have your work area set up like you are used to, but the results turned out great. As a thank you for coming in...the owner treated me to a color service and trim and blow dry for my hair! Very classy, I think. (Not to mention, the color is fabulous....and I will brag on it to everyone I talk to, now!) I'm going in for my first day tomorrow...there are no nail appointments on the books, but I will be giving hot towel hand treatments to every one who sits still for 5 minutes! lol Wish me luck!!! KeyzKaren who is a very excited girl!! PS....forgot to mention...this salon is 4 blocks from my apt! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
