A woman who sued a Croton-on-Hudson nail salon for $5 million claiming she contracted the herpes virus during an eyebrow waxing procedure won a court decision that could allow her case to proceed to a jury trial.
The woman, Carolyn Tuttle, is entitled to a trial to determine whether she became afflicted with the virus as a result of an $8 eyebrow wax she received at the Coach Nail Salon in November 2002.
Tuttle's lawsuit states that two days after the procedure, she developed lesions near her eyebrow where a salon employee, who was not wearing gloves, had touched her.
After seeing a doctor, the woman tested positive for Herpes Simplex 1.
