I'll share mine with you, even though it still gives me the shudders. I had a manicure coupon in one of those little neighborhood coupon books that people send you, so I thought I'd treat myself one day during lunch at work.
The shop was basically empty so I got attented to right away by a little asian guy that gestured me to his station. I sat down, put my hands in the cleaning solution and started to relax anticipating the pampering my digits were in for.
I then noticed that his right thumbnail was abnormally long. And pointy. And slightly yellow.
During what should have been a nice relaxing experience, I was horrified that he used this long nail AS A TOOL for scraping underneath mine, and also using it to push back my cuticles. You just don't know the shivers that ran up and down my spine, or how my toes curled up in my shoes every time he used his friggen fingernail.
I should have said something, but I was kind of in a catatonic state. I still have nightmares!

You should report them to the health unit. that is not only unhealthy but against anything i was ever taught. Note: If they don't have a certificate, they did not go to school and learn about germs!
As a manicurist, my worst night mare was a client that came in with such dirty nails, I was digging food and garbage out from under her horrendously long nails. I felt myself gaggind and had to excuse myself for a moment, so i didn't lose it all over the place.

I got an infection on my left index finger after they cut me accidently. Eventually the infection spread and I had to have my hand amputated. I got a hook for my hand as I work on a farm. I got the hook caught in some machinery and it ripped my arm off. The doctor's were not able to save it. So, a manicure turned into having lost my arm. My nails did look pretty good on my righ hand though!

That is disgusting. i would have been horrified. I'd contact your state health board. he shouldn't be using his fingernails- it could have germs that he is passing along to other people. OMG I'll never forget your story!
