Hi I am new to this commenting on this nailtech group and not sure I am doing it right, but thought I would start. I have been using latex gloves for 15 years or more, and started out just for pedi services and then I started wearing them for all services the past 1 1/2 year because of all of the acetone soaking with gel manicures and some health issues, trying to avoid chemical exposures anywhere I can. I used to get my Latex gloves at CVS Pharm for many years and they were great, but they changed them all to vinyl and nitrile. I saw a chart at Home Depot that showed what type of glove to use for acetone and the only type that they had listed was Latex. I now get my Latex gloves at Rite Aid (no powder latex) and I get the smaller box because they are thicker. The bigger bulk box were thin and I took them back and got the smaller box idk why they make them different box looks the same.
Through out the years I have only had 2 clients allergic to Latex so I keep in my salon Nitrile and Vinyl gloves for such ocassions and once the acetone feels like it is going through I change it to a new pair. Costly that way, but worth it to me. Hope I gave some helpful info :) --- On Sun, 5/26/13, swt...@aol.com <swt...@aol.com> wrote: From: swt...@aol.com <swt...@aol.com> Subject: Re: NailTech:: Gloves? To: "nailtech@googlegroups.com" <nailtech@googlegroups.com> Date: Sunday, May 26, 2013, 11:44 PM I have been using latex gloves for at least 13 years an have only ever had one person tell me that they could not let me use them. I just didn't use any gloves for that service. My break- out was only minimal add healed in a couple day. I am allergic to so much it is crazy. Latex irritates and makes things worse when I am having a breakout but doesn't cause it. Anyway I order by the case From Med-line and the #is 1-800-950-8585.the ones I get are made by Curad . Can't use their band aids but their gloves are ok. LOL the last case was108.33 there are10boxes to a case.
