ethical mani pedis?

[jadelennox]

So in light of the deeply distressing NYT piece "The Price of Nice Nails" about manicurists and wage theft, does anyone know of some places around here where we know for a fact the manicurists are treated at least with the legal minimum of tipped employee wages, OSHA regulations, etc?

Sigh.

Pyara Aveda

I am very friendly with the person I see at Pyara Aveda and she talks about how good a work environment it is. She told a story about how she didn't get hired the first time she applied because they felt she wasn't qualified enough or had enough experience, and when she learned more and had a job for a while at a crappier place, they hired her later, basically keeping their word. I feel good going there, though I will admit I haven't *verified* any of these anecdotes.

Thank you! That's a really good story.
