Has anybody working in food service ever been told to cut their nails totally short, or had someone cut them?

It is a common sanitary practice and in most cases a requirement to have short nails working in food service or food processing...along with hair and beard nets, frequent hand washing, no jewelry or gum chewing.





There are Health Dept., USDA and USDC standards to be met or the business can be ';written up.';Has anybody working in food service ever been told to cut their nails totally short, or had someone cut them?
It depends on what you mean by short. This is a safety and sanitation issue. Safety on two levels, first nails can chip and get into food, or they can break off into the skin causing bleeding, not sanitary and hurts like he**. Short nails are easier to keep clean.Has anybody working in food service ever been told to cut their nails totally short, or had someone cut them?
No because you should know if you work in a restaurant that your nails should be short anyways.
Yes, they can ask you to cut your nails. Though I thought that most kitchens work with gloves on now. I believe that is a rule in the restaurant biz now.
yes.

Are red nails OK in state service office?

I don't think it is a question of color as much as it is length and ';art.'; It's unprofessional to have superlong nails with obscene airbrushing. I used to work in the public sctor and never had problems with my nails as long as they were short and clean. Hope this helps :)Are red nails OK in state service office?
Yes i think so b'coz i have never been thereAre red nails OK in state service office?
i personally think red nails are very classy. make sure theyre in good condition and look neat. if you wear a suit and all that then def.

Yes, but try no to make them really long.Or with a red suit.

red nails are perfect ;)
Keep them short and filed square and they look good, if they are long and pointy then it looks a bit tarty
Personally I think red nails are more suitable for evening wear because then you are going for impact. Paler shades are more suitable for work and daytime use.
I think more subtle colors would be appropriate. Red, however, would probably be acceptable for Christmas.
Hi,


I feel as long as you are dressed in a business way and your nails look great, it should NOT matter WHAT THE COLOR IS, (well as long as they ain't platinum blue or some yucky color like that) But YES, RED SHOULD BE FINE AS RED WINE!!!


Have you ever had your nails ';Air Brushed';? If not, ah, it is an experience you sure need to have, especially if you have ';those long, gracious nails';!!





I hope this helps!! Have a great week!! Bless you!
Check the Staff Handbook, but I'd say yes.

When you go to a nail salon, do you get both a manicure and pedicure in a visit or just one service in all?

Usually when I ask to get a manicure, and the nail technician would ask if I would like a pedicure also. I usually come in intending to get one or the other, but are talked into getting both services.


Since it's winter time, I don't know which service to get or none at all because its so cold. I would probaly be all bundled up in boots and all. Not a good idea to be all bundled up in boots coming into a salon and walking out into the cold in flip flops/sandals. Which it better? Do a lot of people usually get their nails done in the winter? I don't know, walk out with freezing pretty hands or freezing pretty feet in flip flops out the salon.When you go to a nail salon, do you get both a manicure and pedicure in a visit or just one service in all?
I just got both done last night and I walked out in fuzzy boots. You just have to sit with those weird lights on your nails for a while.But unless you have a really good reason, it's kinda stupid to get your toes done in the winter because no one sees 'em anyways!When you go to a nail salon, do you get both a manicure and pedicure in a visit or just one service in all?
:) personally I believe that a girl needs to look nice no matter the season and nice hands and feet are in the top list of a woman's must do. Most nail salons have fans to dry your nails so you could just dry them there and then put on your boots after making sure they are dry, I would also recommend not putting on a dark nail color, maybe something natural or just clear and have your pedicure done to have nice and soft feet. :)
If I was going to the mall I would be ok with getting both and let my feet dry while I shopped, although I guess Id have to bring a large purse to put my boots into while the nails were drying. If I was going to walk outside into a dangerous situation where the flip flops could make me fall, I would not have my feet done. OR get the pedicure first. Take a break look at a magazine, and then have a long slow manacure and put the boots back on mght work too.
Pedicures can be dangerous if your salon isn't clean. WOmen get all kinds of horrible infections because they don't clean the foot baths as often as they should and don't clean the filters.





I skip pedicures all together... They are just not safe.
it depends on the salon





my bet is with the economy the way it is, they'll be happy to accommodate you with anything you want.
It's cheaper when you do it at the same time. I haven't been getting pedicures simply because no one can see my feet in this weather. Of course I get my nails done in winter, I still have to maintain the sexy!
get both done - women typically go slack on the pedicures during the winter - big no- no. By spring time neglected feet will be a disaster. I go every two weeks for both - it's religion for me!

Do you tip for services (hair, nails, etc.) when they're from provided by the owner?

Say for instance it's a husband and wife run nail salon, or a single-person doing massages. Do you pay the given price, or add gratuity, knowing they get 100%?Do you tip for services (hair, nails, etc.) when they're from provided by the owner?
I go to a husband/wife run salon and yes, I give tips. It has nothing to do with whether they get 100%. I tip based on their excellent service.Do you tip for services (hair, nails, etc.) when they're from provided by the owner?
I hate to tip bc its a stupid policy. Do you know how much money people waste a year tipping bc they feel they have to? Thousands! Why should we tip when we go somewhere to get a service that we pay for? ODD





i do tip my hair lady bc she stays after hours to do my hair. But thats all..
You're talking a service kind of business. Even if I thought the person cutting my hair was going to get 100% of the cost, I might tip, depending on how I felt I was treated.





Sometimes the situation is very friendly, so instead of money, I might come back with something else. When I got my brakes done at a pop-and-pop place (no mom, y'know, because it's greasy and noisy), I came back later with a cold six-pack of good brew. That was more like a thank-you gift than a tip.

Although I do not live in the UK, I also have problems finding service places. I have found that, although it takes up valuable time, it is better to do the repair myself, or, and this takes up money, buy new.





Good luck

  • Do nail salon's offer acrylic services for toes? If so, do they offer them for guys?

    I know the one that I go to does. I am sure that they will do acrylic for anyone who comes in and pays for it.Do nail salon's offer acrylic services for toes? If so, do they offer them for guys?
    ewww! I should hope they don't let guys into nail shops!Do nail salon's offer acrylic services for toes? If so, do they offer them for guys?
    ok??
    Yes they do offer acrylic services for toes, and i believe they would service a male however it would be a bit more expensive then it would be for a woman. I would imagine this to be true only because i know a male pedicure is more expensive then a female pedicure.
    i have never seen it but if they do they would do them on a guy just like a female i suggest just going and getting a pedicure they are great
