Not too long ago a co-worker friend of mine went to a Vietnamese Supply Shop and the worker confronted her asking if she wanted a full Cosmo license he could get her one for $500 and if she knew of anyone that wanted a Nail license for $300. I know I've heard people say that they used to go to a girl or guy that just up and disappeared and when they asked where they were they always get the same response oh they went to visit their family back home they be back real soon.
I recently had a client come in and told me a story about her co-worker that got a manicure over the weekend and that Monday she came in showed them her thumb had a real bad infection and that a red line was forming from the spot that was cut while she had gotten her manicure all the way up her arm my client told her to go to the emergency room immediately and so she did come to find out that she had gotten an infection had to get a shot and 2 different antibiotics....All from a service she received from one of the Vietnamese shops and probably from someone that didn't have a license! I told her to tell her friend to contact State Board and report the situation immediately. I really hope that the public gets hip to what is really in front of their eyes real soon...Not sure how many people need to get hurt, get fungus' or end up having allergic reactions to products that are not from reputable nail companies....I try to do my best to educate my clients with Newsletters on a monthly basis in hopes that they can pass the information on to their friends in hopes that people become more aware of the services they receive and whom they receive them from. Thank you for sharing this story with us, only keeps us on our toes to make sure we have our licenses up to date and doing the necessary work to be the best that we can be!!!

I thought it was strange that the Vietnamese nail salon was next door and they didn't get hit. But who knows what they will do. The sad thing is the ones who get a legal license get a bad wrap because of those who don't follow the rules.

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.
