We have the Asian "nail parlors" around here, too. I think most of them
are Vietnamese. The ones that I tried were cheap, but not up to my
standards of cleanliness. I hate how the techs wear a mask and let the
customers breath the toxic fumes.

I have been going to a full-service salon where I have an excellent nail
technician. Each instrument is removed from a sealed bag. I have seen
the autoclave and the instruments being cleaned in it. There are no
strong fumes, like in the Asian places, either.

Of course all the women who work there chatter to each other in Spanish,
but I am often surprised by understanding them.

When I was very sick a month or so ago, my nail tech came to my house
before the salon opened to do my nails for me. Go find that some place
else.
