ethical mani pedis?

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.

Right. At home all I use is 5-free polishes, but that's me, and they are in all that solvent and chemicals all day. There's no part of an acrylic nail that I can consider ethical right now.
