If you are concerned, you could always call your doctor and speak with the nurse in his/her office.

I don't like all those chemicals and fumes - so FOR ME, I'd say no.

My boyfriends mom owns a nail salon and when she was pregnant with his brother she worked the entire pregnancy as did other employees who were pregnant.. and they had no problems with their pregnancies.. I would say going for about 1 hour is fine but thats my opinion.

I think you could always wear one of those mesh masks to block some of the fumes. Or ask them to put a fan on to circulate the air well.
I don't think its a real problem as long as there is good ventilation

the only thing id worry about is the fumes, but if anything sit as close to the door as possible. I dont think i ever got my nails done pregnant just after i had joseph when he was about 4 mths old. Im sure that it will be ok just get ya a mask and see if they got a fan to turn on and if need be ask to step outside for a breather.

I think it is fine as loing as you don't breathe in the fumes directly. Try to sit in a well ventilated area.
