+ a million.

This is a disgrace. [/quote]

I'm as left wing as they come, with with you this. The worst that can happen is a customer winds up bald. Not ideal, but not worth 40K and 2000 hours of training either. Plus, I wonder how many barbers/stylists actually get licensed? I suspect a lot more would if the barrier wasn't so high. That would be a good thing.[/quote]

I’d argue death or amputation are worse. You’ve probably been seeing properly trained professionals which is why you don’t appreciate all the training professionals go through. Professionals need to be aware of the worst case scenarios and make sure they don’t hurt anyone or spread disease. Unfortunately, people choose unlicensed providers based on price rather than paying more for licensed, insured, sanitary providers who pursue advanced training.

Nail salon infections are all too common. Customers enter into a nail salon and are often exposed to seriously unsanitary conditions which can result in significant injuries. Many times technicians at nail salons are not properly trained and fail to keep clean certain tools which they use. In certain circumstances this can lead to more than just a minor infection. Some clients can contract dangerous infections such as MRSA which is permanent and harmful. Other infections can require long term antibiotics to treat or more evasive procedures to correct.

Amputations from a nail salon can occur when the infection is aggressive and spreads without proper treatment. Generally these infections can occur when the technician performs and aggressive exfoliation of the feet or hand. This will leave the skin thin and more likely to spread causing bleeding. In other cases customers have reported that surgical type tools/equipment have been used to perform the procedure. As a result serious cuts resulted, which were exposed to certain unsanitary conditions at the nail salon causing the infection to spread. If the region of the skin becomes severely infected it may be required that an amputation take place. Certain infections are so dangerous that no amount of antibiotic or penicillin can cure. Many times treatment will not be available immediately and the infection has already spread. As a result doctors may be forced to amputate the infected area to avoid it from spreading.

All that bacteria is present on the skin of those people to begin with. It didn't come from the salon. It came from those nasty-ass people. [/quote]
