"There is a safer and healthier option out there for manicurists who care about expanding their education beyond just what the state requires," says Malone, who's still taking continuing education courses and has inquired about oncology manicurist training. "If there's anything I can learn, any type of tradeshow or training session I can attend, I'm all over it." Malone requires this same attitude from her employees. "They need to share my vision about education and understand that we're not a typical nail salon — we don't just do nail art and polish."

According to Malone, it's better for the environment and safer for the client. "We all hear the horror stories from the whirlpools and tubs not being cleaned properly, so I wanted to get rid of water entirely," says Malone. On rare occasions when it might be necessary for a client to have the extra hydration, Malone's team will use water, but for the vast majority of clients, water's been replaced with disposable kits. >>> DECEMBER 2012 | NAILS MAGAZINE | 103 www.nailsmag.com/fifi/23262 Fg G\gj$ Fg @Yjk` 9[a\k$ Fg Gadk 9k]hla[ gjemdY 9nYadYZd] Yl2 FYad EYjc GjdYf\g >dgja\Y ,(/%010%)-1- EaYea FYad Kmhhda]k @ge]kl]Y\$ >dgja\Y +(-%*,-%-./0 FYad Kmhhdq @gmk] KYf ?YZja]d$ ;Y& .*.%+(/%(000 Nakal mk Yl2 \j_kZ]Ymlq&[ge DYc] >gj]kl$ ;9 1*.+( 0((%/0(%.111 MK9 :]Ymlq Kmhhdq O]kleafkl]j$ ;Y& /),%01)%*,*( FYlagfoa\] FYad Kmhhdq @gmklgf& LP /)+%-**%*(0( >gmj k]Ykgfk :]Ymlq Kmhhdq =m_]f]$ Gj]_gf -,)%,0,%.... ;`Yehagf FYad Kmhhdq E]eh`ak$ Lf 1()%+0.%**(( CEP Af[ :jgfp$ F]o Qgjc /)0%-1/%1-+, @a >Yk`agf :]Ymlq Kmhhda]k Dgf_ AkdYf\ ;alq$ F]o Qgjc /)0%/0.%*)+)
