Answers:
yes there are risk . especially if she cut you. your skin is the number barrier protection against infection. Not only could she have infected you with the equipment she used if it was not sterile, you can get an infection days after. Try putting bacitracin which is an over the counter antibiotic.

theres a lot of contraversy going on regarding fungus and unsanitary procedures at the nail salon..even paula abdul had a case of it

hi, there is major risk. my roomate had a pedicure done last year. roommate was a guy (how sad is that)
He got an infection, some type of fungus on 2 toes on one foot. His toes turned black and became really swolen, and then half of his foot became swolen. His foot started turning dark as well. He went to the doctor, and they told him that if he would come a week later, they wouldnt be able to save his foot. They put him on some kind of meds. The infection went away after about a month. But his toes still look weird. The whole time he couldnt walk/walked with a limp. He was in lots of pain. He filed a lawsuit against them. That place is a chinese/ asian salon. Since then, I only get my nails done by none asian salons.
Don't mean to scare you. But this is a true story.
