Green and Clean Nail Salon SurveyGreen and Clean Nail Salon Survey

The Boston Public Health Commission’s Safe Nail Salon Project mission is to protect nail technicians and the public from exposures to dangerous chemicals and preventing infections contracted in nail salons. The purpose of this short survey is to discover what appeals to the average customer. Please only participate in this survey if you are a nail salon patron, and please share this link widely with your friends and colleagues! Also - You don't have to live in Boston to participate! :)
