My name is Noelle Kostraba and I have 26 years in the nail industry.
I have owned 2 salons in Arizona and Colorado and have my Masters in Gel Nails from Creative Nail Design.
About 11 years ago I became allergic to the acrylic. My doctor told me I had to quit doing the job I loved. I was not going to upset 165 clients so I went on a quest to find a healthier product. I finally found Brisa Gel by Creative Nail Design at a trade show in Las Vegas. I switched my clients over to the gel and they all loved it!
You can take comfort in knowing that I have always exceeded the state board requirements for safety and sanitation and always had perfect scores at every inspection. Before I owned my own salon, our salon owner required all her booth renters to take an 8 hour infection protection class. I am so thankful for her, it made me realize how easily diseases can be spread and how unsanitary some salons are!
About My Sanitation Procedures
All my implements stay soaking in a hospital grade disinfectant.
I also do not use a drill because they are extremely damaging to the natural nail .
I use a new file on each client that you get to take home.
I use a pedicure system that is pipeless. I use the Footsie Foot bath which allows me to use a separate plastic recyclable liner for each client. If you have done any research, you know that pedicure systems that have jets in them have been shown to spread disease because they are hard to completely sanitize. A lot of discount salons just wipe out the bowl which really does nothing because all the bacteria and skin shavings from the previous client are lodged in the jets and pipes and then they get recirculated to the next client.

About Gel Nails
Brisa Gel nails are wonderful because they are strong, perfectly clear, do not yellow, will not get gummy with suntan lotion, do not lift, stay shiny for weeks and there is no odor! Also, they never need soaking off as they are a non porous product and don't break down like acrylic. Gel nails are for women who want a natural look.
To start out, using a nail form, I build out the gel tip. I customize the tip color to your own shade of white on your natural nail. This way, they grow out looking natural . This also eliminates the need for backfills because the tip color always matches your own natural nail. Eventually, your own nails grow out and you can keep the gel coat over the top for strength. You get them filled every two to three weeks.
Once in a while you might need a repair, (no artificial nails are perfect.) I do not charge for repairs on my own work, even if you smash a nail in a drawer.
If you are lucky enough to have gorgeous natural nails of your own, I also do Shellac and Gelish Nails. Shellac and Gelish are both gel / polish hybrids which makes it the best of both worlds. It goes on like polish, but it wears like gel. It will protect your nails better than just polish, allowing them to grow longer. You go under the UV lights to cure it between coats. It can last up to 2 weeks and a Shellac/Gelish pedicure lasts over a month!
The best part is your nails dry when you leave the salon!

A word of warning....
Some of the discount salons are advertising gel nails for a much cheaper price.
They are NOT gel. They are trying to scam you and this is what they do.

They put acrylic on you then they put a gel topcoat over the acrylic. They put you under a light to make you think you are getting gel and charge you more for the "gel nails". I have seen this hundreds of times. This is a huge problem happening all over the country and the BBB is looking into it because a lot of people are allergic to acrylic. There have been cases where women had to go to the emergency room for treatment because of the dishonesty. I also want to let you know, there is no such thing as a "gel powder."
This is another thing they will tell you they use.
All authentic gel is in a gel form and each layer is cured by UV lights. A set of "REAL" gel nails
from a reputable nail tech should cost between $50.00 and $80.00 for a full set.
Gel nails require a much more skilled and educated nail tech and the product is much more expensive.
As for pedicure sanitation, the state board requires that between clients,
the nail tech has to disinfect the pedicure station by taking out the jets, soaking them in a
sanitizing solution then running bleach through the system for 10 minutes between EACH client.
If your nail tech isn't doing this you could be at risk for a fungal infection or worse.

I encourage you to go online and research safety and sanitation for pedicures
and the benefits of gel nails verses acrylic for yourself. Make informed decisions for your own body.
I changed the products I was using and my pedicure procedures for mine and my clients health.
