Pay and
conditions of employment
Nail salon
salaries and working conditions in the nail salons of New York City, a major
nail salon hub in North America, are poor. The issue was highlighted in
May 2015, an investigation initiated by the New York State Department of Labor
that was prompted by a New York Times investigation, was successful, but it
wasn't fully. The workforce of nail salons is mostly made up of new
immigrants who have arrived, and are originated from East Asia: many have
limited or no experience with English and some are classified as illegal immigration. A large proportion of the nail salons that are
located in The New York City area are managed by Koreans in addition as
Hispanics have been identified as among the least. In May of 2015 ,
following an inquiry by The New York Times investigation, New York
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced
the creation of an immediate multi agency Enforcement Task Force to address the
many issues that were revealed by the investigation.
Conditions of work
There are some
evidence to suggest that nail salon workers are at risk of unsafe working
conditions.In interviews with nail salon workers from Vietnam The majority of
comments suggested that the working conditions can have negative health
implications. According to Standard 62-1989 on Ventilation to provide an
acceptable indoor quality of the American Society for
Heating, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning Engineers,
the airflow of outdoor areas is supposed to be 20 cubic feet for each
person. That means that there are many ways that air can flow through or
out of the space. This includes but isn't only restricted to doors or
windows. The study revealed that one-third of salons that were surveyed
had one ventilation entrance and had no air flow path.
Due to the
nature of salon work Nail technicians need to wear masks and gloves. Surveys
of a similar group of employees revealed the 91% workers utilized masks, and
70percent used gloves at work. ]
Common
responses of those that were interviewed comprised:
"We know
chemicals are dangerous, the owner tells us to wear mask"
"Says that
chemicals are harmful so always need to keep the ventilator on and close lids,
covers of chemicals surely."
"Because I
am young and pregnant and I don't want to breathe in the dust and chemicals -
I'm afraid that it might affect my child later on"
Expositions of chemical substances
Nail
technicians make use of cosmetics like nail polish removal adhesives, nail
polish removers and disinfectants each day. Comparatively to the normal
person who is exposed the chemical components the products are made up of at a
higher degree. The most potent chemicals are toluene formaldehyde Ethyl
methacrylate (EMA),and dibutylphthalate (DBP).Nearly all chemicals are believed
to be eye, skin nasal, and throat irritation. Certain chemicals, such as
dibutyl as well as toluene, are classified for their role an endocrine disrupters. According
to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Endocrine
disruptors are chemical compounds which disrupt body's endocrine system, which
regulates by hormonal hormones. These hormone disruptors could cause birth
defects, tumors and reproductive harm as well as neurological growth as well as
immune degeneration, and other neurological issues. Studies have indicated
that disruptors of the endocrine system are most at risk in prenatal and
postnatal development.

Vietnamese-American Nail Salon Workers. It lists the chemical components
