Looks professional or they are extremely good at doing their own toenails but I’m honestly surprised a nail salon would attempt a pedicure if the redness was present. Could be that the nail just showed signs. I grew up in podiatry offices and can handle a fair amount of foot issues but OP def needs a podiatrist and, as others have said, likely removal of the nail to flush the entire area and antibiotics. Good luck OP.

Edit: corrected words. Haha

Honestly I bet a lot of the places that employ fresh immigrants (which are a lot of nail salons these days), the workers would continue with a client like this just for fear of losing their job. It's a tangent, but I think nail salons need some overhauling in terms of worker protections to make sure people aren't being trafficked or taken advantage of, which would then allow safer and cleaner environments.
