You’re About to Go Wildly Hiring a Nail Salon
You spent the holiday season enjoying a binge of baking and the occasional glass of wine. But now you’re back on the home turf and trying to scramble a little bit to get back into the swing of things. While you’ve spent the last six weeks scaling down your mani routine because you’re just chillin’, here’s a little tip or two that could come in handy when you’re time-strapped and heading back out on the town.
1. Be Specific With Your Needs
There are tons of great, friendly nail technicians out there that want you to know they love the job, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to do what you ask. So you have to be precise about what you want out of your mani-pedi session and go in with some expectations, including choosing a salon that has a positive rating and has been doing nails for a while. Search sites like Yelp and Google to see how a salon is rated. Just make sure you’re open-minded and open to change to see who may be the best fit for you.

2. Is the Nail Technician Safe?
Nail technicians are not regulated in every state, so that means safety is a big factor. Make sure you’re comfortable getting your nails done by a technician who is properly trained and has experience. Get recommendations of reputable technicians and visit their Facebook page for insight into their business.
3. Does Your Salon Offer Full Features?
Whether you need a full manicure or just some dusting, there are a few nail salon options that cater to different requirements. Ask the salon if they offer a French manicure, or have their technician give your nails a microfiber or ceramic manicure. Get a sense of what is offered on a deeper level so you can decide on which option works best for you.
4. Is the Salon Environment Safe?
Most nail salons are safe places to give a mani-pedi; what isn’t safety? But just like with anything in life, be aware of what your space may be like. Ask if there are any hazards that could make you sick, for example: if they have hot tools, if there are exposed wires or a dirty nail bed. Because best practices here are safe, avoid any prospective nail salon that could potentially be a risk.
