The test is ONLY given in ENGLISH! You need to be able to read, write and
SPEAK ENGLISH to pass the test! If your nail tech cannot communicate with you,
they more likely than not, did NOT take and pass the Ohio Manicure Exam! I
often get Nail Supply catalogs written in Vietnamese. I save these to show to
my State Board Inspector. WHY is it necessary to have a nail supply catalog
that is distributed within the United States written in a foreign language?
Again, if you are not FLUENT in ENGLISH, you could not possibly have passed the
Ohio Board Of Cosmetology test!
In 1998, the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology sent me a letter telling me
that if any of the individuals listed on the enclosed document worked for me,
they were to be terminated immediately as they were "ERRONEOUSLY ISSUED A
MANICURE LICENSE" (meaning that they obtained the license thru fraudulent means
such as paying a state board inspector to issue them a license after they
failed the test!) Following the letter, were HUNDREDS of names with their last
known address. Hmmm... really!? Now.. the problem as I see it, is that if
they could "ERRONEOUSLY OBTAIN" a manicure license in Ohio, then go to another
state and present said license and obtain a license from a state that
reciprocates with Ohio, well, it would be like putting Humpty Dumpty back
together again to trace down all the fraudulent licenses that were obtained not
only in Ohio, but in other states that accept the Ohio license for a license in
that state! How would you ever be able to trace all the paperwork and people?
Like putting Humpty Dumpty back together again...
I still have the letter... I often show it to clients who don't believe that
this could happen in the U.S.A.

Subject: Re: NailTech:: Nail Salon Raid in Solon, Ohio
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!!!

your right some people just don't want to see it, Here in Traverse City Mi they
did a raid on a Vietnamese owned restaurant they had 13 people who were
indebted to them. 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.

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.

And there goes the story behind how they went to see relatives in California
and/or Vietnam. You do not know how many people have told me this story. Beware
the large chop shops. This is more common than you think.
Buenos dias!

State agents raid Solon salon

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.
