Two women, virtual strangers, sit hand-in-hand across a narrow table, both intent on the same thing-achieving the perfect manicure. Encounters like this occur thousands of times across the United States in nail salons increasingly owned and operated by Asian immigrants. This study looks closely for the first time at these intimate encounters, focusing on New York City, where such nail salons have become ubiquitous. Drawing from rich and compelling interviews, Miliann Kang takes us inside the nail industry, asking such questions as: Why have nail salons become so popular? Why do so many Asian women, and Korean women in particular, provide these services? Kang discovers multiple motivations for the manicure-from the pampering of white middle class women to the artistic self-expression of working class African American women to the mass consumption of body-related services. Contrary to notions of beauty service establishments as spaces for building community among women, The Managed Hand finds that while tentative and fragile solidarities can emerge across the manicure table, they generally give way to even more powerful divisions of race, class, and immigration.

Background and Design: This study aims to evaluate the significance of physicians' obligations under contracts of work in the context of medical malpractice claims related to minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Additionally, it will address the criteria and methodologies employed in the legal assessment of disputes arising from these procedures, particularly in light of the recent rulings by Supreme Courts. Furthermore, it will emphasize the key considerations from a forensic medical perspective. Materials and Methods: The results of the search conducted using the keywords \"botox, aesthetics\", \"filling, aesthetics\", \"laser, epilation\", \"laser, aesthetics\", \"laser rejuvenation\", \"peeling\", \"derma pen\", \"mesotherapy\", \"platelet-rich plasma\", and \"hair transplantation\" from the \" Results: Seventy-four decisions that met the pre-established screening criteria were identified. Most decisions (83.8%, n=62) were related to laser epilation procedures. The findings revealed that the most frequent locations for the procedures were beauty centers and beauty salons, representing 58.1% of the cases. It was determined that 78.3% (n=58) of the judgments were reversed. Among the reasons for reversal, deficiencies in expert reports were noteworthy. Conclusion: A review of medical malpractice claims has revealed that most dermatological aesthetic procedures and laser epilation applications are associated with beauty centers. The decisions of the supreme courts emphasize the importance of the practitioner's authority, the obligation to inform, the management of complications, and whether the contract of work and the supervision and control responsibility of the responsible manager achieved the promised result.

Introduction HIV/AIDS is a global public health issue affecting 40.4 million lives. Barbershops and beauty salons pose health risks due to the use of sharp tools, which can transmit blood-borne diseases like HIV. Somalia Over 45% of HIV-positive. Training and capacity building can enhance service quality and prevent disease transmission. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and prevention practices of HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention among barbing and beauty salon operators in Somalia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 barbers and beauty salon operators in Districts Mogadishu selected using multistage sampling techniques from September 2023 to June 2024. A structured questionnaire was used to assess their knowledge, attitude and practice about HIV/AIDs transmission and prevention. The factors associated with the knowledge, attitude and practice of the barbers and beauty salon operators about HIV/AIDs were explored using multiple logistic regression. Data was analyzed using Stata Version 15. Results The mean age of the participants was 27±6.6 years. Regarding sex, the vast majority of the participants (65.3%) were males Only 23.0% (92/400) had good knowledge, and 19.0% (76/400) had a good attitude, in addition, 6.5% (26/400) had good practice towards HIV transmission and prevention. Participants with secondary education showed higher odds of having a good attitude than those with primary and non-formal education though the difference was not significant (AOR = 2.3 (0.87-5.95), p = 0.094 Conclusion Barbers’ awareness and education about HIV/AIDS and age-related factors contributing to infection spread are poor, and local health authorities could significantly reduce the spread of these pathogens through occupational hazards training.

Hair salons use many hair products that have toxic chemicals in them. These toxic chemicals include volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, and particulate matter. Daily exposure to these pollutants causes severe health issues in the long run. This study aims to find the concentration of the air pollutants such as PM1, PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, CO2, and formaldehyde in four hair salons located in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. In this paper, we propose an IoT-based air quality monitoring system with integrated sensors to monitor the concentration of air pollutants remotely via ThingSpeak data analytics cloud platform in hair salons. The maximum 15 min average concentration values of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 were 128, 154, and 169 µg/m3 respectively. The TVOC levels exhibited a rapid increase of about 80–90% during facials and hair gel application and a peak value of about 5248.25 ppb was measured at salon 2. Also, weekend and weekday comparison is done. It was found that the weekend concentrations of the measured pollutants are comparatively higher than weekday concentrations. After analyzing the pollutant concentration, the effects of primary health parameters such as blood pressure and pulse rate of the hairdressers are measured. One-third of the hairdressers displayed high blood pressure values with a maximum of 161/104 which falls under stage 2 hypertension. Also, secondary parameters such as temperature, humidity, ventilation type, and number of customers are also measured. From the overall analysis, it is suggested that adequate ventilation and regulated product usage are said to reduce the effects of indoor air pollution.
