How do I use copper bowls for pedicures?

November 28, 2012

BuyNailsDirect can build to order a Katai Spa with options of either a copper bowl or a fiberglass basin. All the salon has to do is install the plumbing which includes drainage and hot and cold water.  The price retails for approximately $2,700. Most pedicure procedures consist of five steps:soak (warm water), exfoliate (salt or sugar gel), soothe (mask), massage (oil), and moisturize (lotion). With a pedicure spa, the nail tech does not have to carry water back and forth; therefore, the turnover time per client is much faster.  Furthermore, the client can relax and enjoy back body massage with the Human Touch chair during the entire service.  — Quy “Charlie” Ton is the owner of Alfalfa Nail Supply.
