Product Description
"The Dirty Secret Of Nail Salons is a chilling indictment of health code violations that are all too frequent in nail salons, and their catastrophic consequences - which are sometimes lethal. Wherever bacterial organisms and instruments that can draw blood are found, therein lies danger. Chapters discuss how the reader can protect himself or herself from unsanitary nail salons or nail technicians, and common foot and nail care products to avoid. However, Death By Pedicure also discusses the positive benefits of manicures and pedicures, including the possibility that nail technicians can detect and refer foot problems before they turn serious. A serious-minded, highly readable discussion accessible to lay readers and recommended for anyone with ties to the nail care industry, whether as a client, an employee, or through business connections."

See What Experienced Nail Technicians Say:

Speaking as a Licensed Nail Specialist, I think it is a very important part of my job to educate every person who walks through my salon door on safe salon practices. Dr Spaldings's book, Death By Pedicure is not only a great tool for Nail Professionals, but also an excellent source of information to help consumers be aware of what they need to know before they set foot into another pedicure bath.I highly recommend this book to anyone who visits a salon for any nail services, you will see everything in a new light.Thank you Dr. Spalding, for helping to put this important information into even more manicured hands.

Been there
A great read.Well written and very witty.Having only done a few triathlons myself, I fully understood where Jane was coming from.I think as new triathletes we all share the same frustrations, experiences and elations as it all comes together.Well done Jane.I would certainly recommend this book to friends.

super book!
Had great fun reading this book, as a Bay Area native it was like going home again!

Quick, entertaining read
I loved this book.As I prepare to complete my first triathlon, I found this book to be informational and inspiring.It is so much more than just a book about training for a triathlon.I have passed it on to my husband, who also enjoyed it.Now we've passed it along to a friend.

Book Sucked!!!
Couldn't get past the fifth chapter.I left the book on the airplane on purpose!I love triathlon's and heartwarming stories but this was not either.

Great!
I thought this book was great, I couldn't put it down until I was finished. She tells her story of her start with triathlon from the beginning, it was informative, it will make you laugh out loud, if you do triathlon it will make you remember your start and if you thought you could never do something like triathlon she just might help you decide different! ...
