For many of us, a salon visit is an emotionally charged event. Whether we’re awaiting the arrival of the salon’s most glam and show-stopping manicure available or a rekindled romance on the horizon, we typically show up to the salon with high expectations of the mani/pedi we deserve — mainly in the form of the latest trend-centric beauty trend, emerald green. However, as a consumer who demands a flawless manicure, it’s not uncommon for me to take an unplanned trip to the salon, try a trend, and leave certain stones from my nail-color collection embedded in my nails.
Considering that eight to 10 percent of the population has at least one nail-cancer diagnosis, it is imperative that I do not expose this segment of my clientele to toxic materials. I am an accidental barbie-doll manicure consumer who knows that the sooner I find out about my nail-cancer danger, the sooner I can seek the proper treatment. Therefore, it is my duty as a Nail Salon Guide writer to provide women with information about toxin use.
To be clear, toxic materials found in your mani/pedi likely aren’t testing positive for toxicity tests by the FDA or USGS yet, but I think this is still an important enough study to draw attention to.

With that in mind, it’s not hard to find eateries serving 100 percent all-natural, pesticide-free, and vegan food. Or, even better, you can stay true to yourself and visit a nail salon that offers natural nail polishes. From homemade essences to egg whites to semi-precious stone recipes, alternative nail-care options have been long popular in nail salons and personal-care stores.
With a few gestures at your nail salon, you can allow for those flavors, oils, and crystals to continue to play an important role in your beauty routine and development — and to keep you safe. Let your mani/pedi be just a little more natural, and your nails will thank you.
