The industry is terribly abusive to the workers. Americans don't care because we like cheap luxuries. I only get my nails done at day spas where the workers are usually American (of any race) because then I can be certain they aren't be held captive or being trafficked. I pay much more for these pedicures ($75 instead of $35-40 at the cheap places) but for me, the peace of mind that I am not supporting a shady industry is worth it. I get fewer pedicures.

We want cheap nails, cheap lawn care, cheap cleaning services in this country and our actions show that we view the workers serving us as disposable. It's deplorable. [/quote]

+1 since this article came out a few years ago, I will only go to places like Red Door. Due to the cost, this means I only have my nails done a handful of times a year for special occasions (like weddings), but it is an easy price to pay for having a clean conscience. Another good spa that I believe is paying fair & legal wages is Nusta Spa downtown on 20th Street. [/quote]

Eh - Red Door had me freaked out years ago.
The hair stylists are fine. The nail salon employees seem strangely unhappy and don’t talk. [/quote]
