As nail salons multiply, state struggles to control labor abuses

Massaging hands, painting nails, clipping cuticles, waxing legs, extending lashes, exfoliating skin — the work is exceptionally intimate. Few industries put paying client and low-wage worker in physical contact like nail salons and spas. These businesses selling beauty and relaxation often illegally underpay their workers, many of whom are immigrants. But state enforcement officials only address what is believed to be a small number of the labor abuses in this industry. Since 2015, 91 Connecticut nail salons and spas have been ordered to close temporarily by the state Department of Labor for violations in how they pay their employees, DOL enforcement data obtained by Hearst Connecticut Media shows.
