Second Lawsuit Alleges Portland Nail Salon Spread Herpes Despite Prior Sanitation Failures
A lawsuit filed in Multnomah County Court alleges that PDX Nails in Portland transmitted herpes to a customer during an August 2025 acrylic nail appointment. The suit seeks $2.5 million in damages and names the salon and state health regulators, citing a 2021 investigation that found the business failed to disinfect tools. This is the second similar case against the salon in two years, following a 2023 incident that resulted in a confidential settlement.
