Maybe you can help me here. There is nothing like a manicure and pedicure. I do them regularly. In the past ten years the industry has gone from English speaking technicians to non-English speaking ones. It is well nigh rare to find it otherwise.
Often there is one person in the salon who seems to act as the manager. The rest of the staff do not talk. They behave as though they do not comprehend the vernacular, yet they had to pass a state board licensing test. To my knowledge, it is still done in English.
Nail techs use scissors. They use chemicals. Some of the clients, like me, are allergic to the scrub and the lotions they use on legs and arms. I suspect some of that is done to the overuse of chemicals to make these products. This blogger brings her own. I prefer natural, organic ones anyway.
More often than not, even though I have clearly stated not to use their products, they sneak them in. They act as they are confused. The manager is silent. I do not return to the salon.
In an industry charged with using hazardous materials, these people must be able to communicate in English. I wonder how many clients have nail fungus because the technician did not communicate, would not communicate and wants to deny the whole diagnosis.
Where are the state boards in any of this?
