Best Non Toxic Nail Salon in Houston

As 2017 comes to a close, 2019 is just around the corner and the amount of time we spent being glued to our smartphones and laptops by the season is quickly decreasing. Despite our burn out on everyday tasks and constant availability to technology, we still actively do the most basic things to ensure the health of our nails. I recently sat down with Adrienne Meyer, founder of Nail Picker, to pick her brain about all the keys that every woman should know in order to stay away from dependency-wreaking salon manicures and severe nail breakage. So go ahead and lock down your place until 2019!

CanYouFinish Already?

“I am a huge fan of Manic Panic and the mani-pedi you can finish ahead. You may never say you liked them, but at least you can say you only paid $10 for a hand and foot care experience. My fellow owners and employees are proud of their customer service as I can attest, which is why a quick nail touch up is great. Walking out with a clean manicure and free VIP buff is a huge vote of confidence in the salon.

“[The application and color of your nails] can also be a way to avoid those things that can turn you into an addict to your manicure room. Nail picker is a salon alternative to a manicure and is more affordable, eco-friendly, and eco-toxic free. Nail Picker helps to protect your hands from damaging chemicals and helps prevent breakage. Nail Picker was created to offer a nail choice for those who cannot or want not to use a salon setting and protects against the many poisonous chemicals that are found in manicures.

“Another industry that deserves attention is nail polish. Prevention is key! We need to shift our mindset that we use a custom nail polish color because it is great. A custom nail polish color is important for you to have because you may like the color but that is not enough. Skin makeup or nail coating does not protect you from harmful ingredients found in nail polish. Nail polish is a color that tastes like caramel and it is a way to control your eyes whether you want a shade of neutral to work with your face or something more statement-y. “

Tips for Safety, Beauty, and Longlasting Nails

“Avoid the salon by painting at home. Do your own painting until you are comfortable. Choose a base and top coat. Avoid nail polish. Some products hide harmful chemicals. Nail polish is a cost (and time) add. Use a nail picker. You do not need a professional. Your fingers will handle it perfectly. When you are ready to do your nails, go into the mani-pedi booth. Do not do your manicure and cuticle.”

Quick Remedies for Manicures

“For a quick fix, try using Nail Picker. People put more pressure on their hands and wear gloves, making the nail cabinet to be a significant obstacle.

“Nail picker can be wrapped in a scarf and worn around the neck like a cape and block press with your fingers while in the salon. The first few days are the most fragile, but after a week of drying you will be fine. Also, for those who get nail files next, make sure to take the file off so you do not put even more pressure on your hands.

“Keep in mind that nail picker has an incredible healing power and will give you back years worth of wear if properly used. It will give back to your fingers and prevent breakage for years to come.”
