Maquoketa Nail Salon Facing Disciplinary Action

A Maquoketa nail salon faces disciplinary action after state regulators found a dozen violations during an unannounced inspection last year. Etna Nails Salon and Kathy Nguyen face a disciplinary hearing scheduled for 1 p.m. May 17th in Des Moines, according to the Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences. A filing states that Nguyen and the salon are charged with having prohibited products on the premises as well as failing to maintain a daily cleaning and disinfecting log for each pedicure station, reusing single-use disposable buffers and pumice pads, and failing to keep all areas of the salon clean and in good repair and keep used supplies and other materials in proper receptacles. The matter may be resolved by a settlement agreement.
