Getting a manicure or a pedicure is a great way to relax, give yourself a little treat after you’ve had a long day at work, or after a stressful week with the in-laws.
But did you know that you could actually be making problems while you’re at the parlour, or even constructing things more difficult for yourself?
These are 10 nail salon rules that everyone should know about. These are so important to avoid constructing the mani-pedi experience unenjoyable for yourself, your esthetician, or the rest of the customers in the salon.
Are you guilty of forgetting any one of these 10 important things on your trip-ups to get glamorous fingernails? I know I’ve skipped# 4 before and definitely regretted it. Sometimes, it’s easy to overlook interesting thing who are able to lead to big problems!
1. Get There On Time
There are other people with appointments after yours that still need to start on time, so if you get there late, your time will get cut short! Why not arrive a little bit early to pick out a coloring?
2. Be Clear
You don’t want to walk away from your fancy manicure disillusioned, so make sure you’re clear about length and shape before your manicurist get started.
3. Gauge The Environment
If everyone inside seems to be social, seem free to join in. Nonetheless, if the environmental issues is more loosen — with serene music and dim illuminations — it is probably more appropriate to keep the chatting down. If people are talking, make sure you still keep your conversation appropriate, and keep the really juicy stuff for later.
4. Ensure The Tools Are Sanitized
If you bring your own tools, make sure to clean them after each employ. But if you are using the salon’s, be sure to check that “they il be” being cleaned and keep an eye out for general cleanliness.
5. Arrive Clean
This is more applicable for pedicures, but in general, make sure you’re cleaning yourself long before handing your fingernails and appendages off to someone else to scrub. You wouldn’t want to scrub someone else’s stinky foot, would you?
6. Avoid Water On New Polish
But if it is necessary clean your hands before you leave, make sure “they il be” dry enough, and use cold water. Running fresh fingernails under hot water can keep the polish from drying properly.
7. Mind Your Space
At their busiest, nail salons can get fairly packed. Do your best to not scatter all of your belongings around to give enough room to the other customers.
8. Skip The Food
In many salons, you’re allowed to bring finger foods, liquors, and sometimes even full lunches when with a group for a special occasion. It’s better to hop-skip the snack and save it for after. But if it is necessary eat, simply be mindful of other guests and bring food that doesn’t have a very strong reek that will stink up the whole place.
9. Take Your Time
Don’t run right out. There are few things more frustrating than damaging a brand new mani or pedi, so make sure you ask your esthetician if it’s alright to leave before you dart out the door to your next chore. You don’t want to trash your time and money!
10. Limit Cell Phone Use
Turn your phone to vibrate, and take calls on an emergency-only basis. We’re all busy, and that is fine, but it doesn’t mean that we should yammer on and make everybody else in the room listen to the call.
11. Arrive Untrimmed
If you do too much trimming on your own, your fingernails may end up being too short to shape properly. Leave it to the professionals!
12. Make Sure To Tip
Check to make sure the tip isn’t already included in your bill, as it is with some fancier or destination salons. If it is not, 20 percentage is the way to go for quality service.
Will you be sure to do all of these next time you get you fingernails done? Please SHARE with family and friends on Facebook!
