The Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences has reinstated the license of a salon owner in Carroll, after the owner agreed to a settlement with the state over unsanitary practices resulting from an inspection in March, 2014. Duy Quang Dau, owner of “Pretty Nails,” in Carroll agreed to pay a fine of $500, and as a result, Dau’s nail technologist licenses will be returned and all restrictions removed.

Investigators had determined on March 11th, 2014, Dau engaged in unsanitary practices in violation of Iowa Code, by: failing to provide biohazard disposal; failing to post a copy of the most recent sanitation rules; having a product containing liquid methyl methacrylate on the premises; failing to properly disinfect and record a cleaning of the spa’s tubs; permitting licensed individuals to practice outside the scope of their license, and having a chamois buffer on the premises.
