A new client's comment about her old spa visit really got me thinking

She came in for a facial in my home studio last Tuesday and mentioned her last one was at a big spa in Scottsdale. She said, 'The esthetician there used the same brush on me that she had just used to clean the sink.' I was so shocked I had to stop what I was doing. It made me double-check my own cleaning steps right then, even though I know my routine is solid. Has anyone else heard a story like this that made you review your own practices?

Oh that's so gross. A friend told me her nail tech reused a file on her right after using it on the person before. Stuff like that makes you check your own setup twice for sure.

Honestly though, a quick wipe with alcohol spray kills most germs just fine.

Yeah, the "check your own setup twice" thing is real. I started bringing my own file and buffer block to appointments after seeing some questionable tools. It's cheap insurance and they never mind. If a place acts weird about you using your own stuff, that's a red flag anyway.
