You’ve got your hair done at the salon, your nails done on your next vacation, and you have the clothes that your stylist just picked out. We’re like, Oftentimes, those things have their price tags. But if you don’t pay for your service, how can you get the professional care you deserve? At this point, you’ve probably seen a lot of murals of services, and the picture that really reminds you how difficult it is to find the perfect nail salon for you. After narrowing down the options with reviews and reliable business models, it’s time to choose a favorite. Of course, all the world’s a competition. Who will offer you the best experience and recommend each service from the start? We’re confident we can help! Here are five guide to your nail appointments, and how to truly make the best choice.
1. Hire a stylist who doesn’t just come over to fix your nails, but offers an approachable service
We don’t know this to be true, but we’d like to think so. So this is important. A nice atmosphere isn’t a guaranteed guarantee of experience and service. Just as a barbershop provides grooming services and good customer service, so, too, should your nail salon do the same. Not every stylist should be able to handle all the unexpected problems that might arise, but a professional can spot problems from the get-go and provide an environment that’s pleasant to your visit. And don’t just get a stylist you’ve seen before; get multiple!
2. Don’t be afraid to ask how much the service will cost
Knowing how much you’re going to spend, but not being sure how much services will cost, is a natural scenario. Hopefully your stylist will give you some reassurance that costs aren’t too much, and will say some simple thing like, “I’m happy to compare prices so that you know we’re not overcharging.” You’re also going to find the service being recommended available at a competitive price point too.

3. Try asking how your stylist handles repeat customers
You just went in for your regular manicure one month ago, and were happy with the experience. You went back to the salon the next week, and the stylist fixed you up with some pretty shiny nails. Keep tabs on repeat customers because there’s more trust from them! They’ll see that your mom and sister have gone, and that you’ve been down the road a few times, and that’s much easier to show when you work with them again.
4. Wait to mention that you have warts to get a price break on your next appointment
This one’s for those who can afford to be more generous and chivalrous with their tips. This is the funniest thing. If you want to get more complimentary services, you’ll want to avoid asking for the same discount twice. Wait until your salon starts offering warts remover, are offering a wash station that’s free with your appointment, etc. We’re going to walk through some tips in more detail, but the takeaway here is: avoid when you want to lower your tipping.
5. Consider the ratio of stylists vs. spa-like treatments
We know, this is totally possible. There are different cut and color options, treatments, or other services that you could get from a fancy manicure to a cut and shave. But if you’re ordering a massage or manicure at a fancy place that doesn’t seem like a regular spas, you might wonder if your stylist is as experienced, or even as polite, as the staff you see at the mall.
