I got a manicure from Pinky salon on UWS the day before I left on vacation. 3 days later in the middle of my vacation I got a bacterial infection on one of my fingers- it turned into a huge pussy abscess that I had to get drained by the resort Dr. We're home now, my finger still looks nasty- should I go to the salon and show it to them? Demand my $$$ back, just warn them that their manicurists aren't keeping clean? WWYD?? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

if you let a salon cut your cuticles, then you're opening yourself to infection. it doesn't mean you get the infection from the place -- actually it's more likely you got it later, from a doorknob, using the bathroom, subway pole, etc. [ Reply | More

OP: I'm sorry, I wasn't clear- the infection was surrounding my cuticle- it was an obvious nail salon infection and they did not cut my cuticles- they used a tool to push them back. I specifically told her not to cut my cuticles. [ Reply | More

OP: It's all in the delivery- If I go in there politely and show them my finger and say - I got a manicure there last weekend and it became infected- I just think you should know and your manicurists should clean their tools a bit better- no harm in that. [ Reply | More
