Is it safe to visit nail salon during pregnancy?

Yeah I went multiple times. Obviously don’t go a ton because of the fumes and stuff. But I don’t think it’s terrible and it’s not terrible for pregnancy
I would go when they open so I would be the 1st one.....I went maybe 2 or 3 times
Press ons are cute too
I've only been once in this pregnancy. Was fine. The fumes were a bit much though.
I went to a black owned salon to get my nails done for my gender reveal. This specific place uses better products than the Asian ones u don’t smell that weird chemical smell they usually have and the Asian techs are usually wearing masks but never give clients a mask at the one I went to nobody needed a mask and the owner explained to me the different products they use and how it affects our health and can cause cancer
I had no problem, this or my last pregnancy, but you can definitely mask up.
It’s safe to go. Wear a mask and make sure the salon is well ventilated, make sure they’re not using harsh chemicals either..
Depends. I’m a professional nail tech and I would never ever recommend anyone to go to the cheap-o salons, preggo or not. If possible please find a private nail tech that has their own private studio and uses LED lamps and proper products as well as proper sanitation and disinfecting techniques.
Non toxic salons are also a good option. I like sundays studio.
I still go! However, I always wear a mask now since being pregnant
Try to find a non-toxic salon. I know there’s Takunya on the UES but I’m sure there are others. Otherwise, as others have said, try to be the first one in. I went a couple of times while pregnant and tried to get the most basic of the services so I was in and out quickly.
I just wear a mask and I put sunscreen on my hands before gel. Also the place I go to does not do acrylic so there’s not a strong chemical smell in there
I went every 4 weeks when I was pregnant. No mask. Just went as normal. Had no issues. If your use to going regularly just go. Some people are OCD in there pregnancy’s, try keep your life as normal as possible x
Please stay away from the nail salons, pregnant or not. The chemical fumes are dangerous for any amount of time or exposure for your lungs and for every organ of your body.
