Additionally, the salon partners with podiatrists and offers exclusive services that promote preventive maintenance for diabetics. “Nails & Faces of Joy Spa understands the precautionary measures that go into a diabetic’s health,” says Johnson. “In an effort to better serve persons affected in our community, we use products specifically made for diabetics. We do not use tools such as a credo blade, which can cause skin to be broken, as diabetics take longer to heal, and we incorporate hydrating products to help combat excessive dryness that some diabetics experience from their medications.”
