A Need for Rating System for Nail Salons

“The Perils of Pedicure: Health Officials Warn of Unclean Foot Baths” (May 4) was scary . . . and disgusting! Like food establishments, nail salons should be examined, tested and rated periodically, with ratings clearly posted.

Realistically, how many consumers will “insist” on foot spa disinfecting procedures between customers and know whether those procedures are being performed properly or not?
