I literally had to gasp for air. It was horrible. Imagine being inside getting your nails done breathing that stuff. The workers wear masks but not the customers? These places are poisoning our air and our lungs.

There is no ventilation, fire escape or rear exit. The nail bar is located towards the back of the salon, but with up to 8 hairdressers working around it. The front door is kept closed due to the winter weather and I'm extremely concerned about the health and safety aspects as there are strong fumes all day as well as fine but invisible dust from the electric files the nail bar workers.

Clients of mine have previously been to Non Standard Salons that use unlabelled products and questionable hygiene methods leading to infections, loss of nails and permanent nail damage. The health risks of products containing MMA and other cheaper ingredients need to be highlighted. I worked hard for my qualifications and I pay insurance. This should be a legal requirement to prevent public health issues.

I also believe i may have contracted a foot infection after receiving a ped at a NSS - as they used whirl baths and the tools were not kept in germicides or disinfectants! Perhaps disinfecting of tools after every use should also be added to this bill as most bars using MMA also practice this cut corners technique.
