I sure would if that happened to me. pm'd you...

But how to know with certainty that is where you got it from? Lots of people have nail fungus, and it's not from getting pedicures.

had it before the pedicure, and when I removed my nail polish it was there....so that leads me to believe the pedicure was the culprit.

I agree. There are a lot of causes for nail fungus . I would go back to the salon and talk to them again. But there are other causes such as:  
 
 
Diminished blood circulation  
Slow growing nails  
A family history of fungal infection (genetics)  
Heavy perspiration  
Humid or moist work environment  
Wearing socks and shoes that prevent ventilation  
Walking barefoot in damp public places (swimming pools, gyms and shower rooms)  
Previous injury or infection to the skin or nail  
Diabetes, circulation problems, a weakened immune system  
Tight footwear with crowding of toes  
Exercise that causes repeated minor trauma to the hyponychium (where the finger tip attaches to the nail).  

Most salons and especially if you went to a good one are very diligent in cleaning their tools properly. This is their livelihood..  
 
It is possible that during your pedicure and the grooming of tour cuticles etc could have opened up a tiny spot.. Or crack.. Which then after your pedicure left u somewhat more vulnerable to picking up a fungus.. But hardly the salons fault..  
 
It can also be in your system and you got from who knows where.. And again not the salons fault.  
 
How long after your pedicure did you notice? Has the doctor given you treatment?  
 
Perhaps the salon seemed not interested because they know they are very careful, and very diligent in cleaning of tools etc.. Just a thought..  
 

I too have had nail fungus, not necessarily from a pedicure but it was very deep under my nail. I get pedicures all the time and have only ever had the fungus once. It took a 2 month course of antifungals to get rid of it. Good luck!

A few people at my work get nail fungus from washing hands so frequently that the skin under the nails crack and bleed. Then wear waterproof gloves (lightly powdered with cornstarch) and sweat all day from working hard...prime target.  
Easy cure...tea tree oil applied by cotton ball three times a day. Make sure it gets under the nail as well. Use for 3-5 days after all signs clear up. Usually takes 2-3 weeks total depending on how bad it is. But it really works.  
 
You can get tea tree oil from any pharmacy/health section of stores. It is usually around the vitamin section. But if you can't find it, just ask a store worker.
