This is not new news there were articles about this problem maybe 10 years ago in Nails or Nailpro. Dont remember which. One the people I worked for at the time and I kind of raised an eyebrow to indentured servitude in the 20th century. Thought it was a stretch but maybe. Then one day a guy was waiting to tan and we knew he was a county sheriff , struck up a conversation with us about that very fact. He also told us they were under investigation for money laundering and prostitution. That is all happening in good old conservative central PA. imagine how bad it really is in the big cities known for this stuff.

State agents raid Solon salon Could state agents have busted what is just the tip of the iceburg in a nail salon scam? SOLON, OH (WOIO) - Could state agents have busted what is just the tip of the iceburg in a nail salon scam? There is evidence that points that way. They swept in Tuesday in Solon and 19 Action News was with them on the raid. It is an investigation that involves false id's, licenses that were obtained illegally and possibly workers laboring long hours in slave labor conditions in return for passage to this country. There was one arrest Tuesday, with the promise of more to come. Byron Ngo is suspected of illegally getting licenses for nail salon workers. Buying documents that claim they had hours of training necessary to get a state license when they didn't. Even having people take state exams pretending to be other people. The concern is the public's health because improperly trained workers can create a breeding ground for all kinds of serious infections easily spread in nail salons. There is an even greater concern, and that is that in some places there could be human trafficking in workers. A job for passage and board. The key to the case isn't at any individual salon. It's at cosmetology schools like the former New Beginnings in Warrensville Heights. It's voluntarily closed and owners are cooperating providing investigators with a who's who in the scheme. No reply at the co-owned salon next door to allegations that licensing hours were bought here. None from the owner either.
