The New York Times recently published an article that looks into the practices of nail salons in NYC. The article details the work environment and pay of manicurists in the city, finding extensive exploitation of the workers, who are underpaid and often abused. For example, in one Harlem location manicurists were charged to drink water on the job. Even worse, they often were not even paid on "slow days."
