Even at nicer establishments you have to be careful. I had been going to a very nice nail salon with my mom for 3 or 4 months and then I developed these little bumps all over my lower legs. The dermatologist couldn't figure out what it was and sent biopsies of it to several different labs and finally one said it was so kind of fungus you usually can only get from nail salon foot baths. I won't stop going to nail salons to get manis and pedis but I definitely make sure they are cleaning their foot baths properly. That was 2 years ago that i got the bumps..I had to take an antibiotic for 6 mths and I still have the scars from teh bumps although they are finally almost faded. The jets can hold bacteria if the nail salons do not clean properly which is why a lot of places do foot baths in a regular tub type thing w/ no jets now. Just be careful.
