In May 2015, former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced a multi-pronged effort to reform the nail salon industry in New York State by correcting and preventing unlawful practices and unsafe working conditions. A multi-agency Task Force, consisting of representatives from the Department of Labor, Department of State, and Department of Health, implemented reforms which included a comprehensive package of legislation and new emergency regulations, administrative changes, and an outreach campaign to educate workers, businesses and the public. The information below will help you understand your responsibilities as a business in the nail salon industry. If you have any questions, contact the Task Force Hotline at: 888-469-7365.

Fraud Alert for Nail Salon Owners Seeking to Purchase Wage Bonds

Please be cautious if you receive an unsolicited contact from a person offering to assist you in obtaining a wage bond. An unsolicited call requesting money may be a scam. Make sure to use a licensed insurance agent or broker and then contact that person directly. Use our secure portal to check to see if an agent or broker is licensed.
