Years ago I went to a salon to get my nails done. Needless to say, I'll never ever have them done again. I developed some kind of green fungus. Upon going back to the salon to show them what happened, she offered me a free bottle of half-empty "nair porish".

Here are some links to articles I've found. Dateline or 20/20 did a show a few years back about the health risks associated with these places, but I can't find it. Here are others....



Dangers Lurk in Dirty Salons
Hair and Nail Salons Linked to Infectious Diseases
Nail Salon Nightmares

*Note* - Not all nail salons are plagued, I just choose to never take that chance again!
