Nail salons near you

When choosing a nail salon, you'll want to consider the salon itself, as well as its staff. The environment should be clean and welcoming while the staff should be skilled and provide good customer service.

Top tips for finding a nail salon:

There are several things to think about when choosing a nail salon. You need to trust that the salon’s nail technicians can provide the type of service you seek. You also need to trust that the equipment, which comes into contact with all of the salon’s different customers throughout the day has been properly cleaned and sanitized. Here are some top tips to look for in regards to cleanliness:

• What do the workstations look like? Are they clean?
• Do you see other nail techs sanitizing when they’re done working on their client?
• Do the nail technicians wash their hands before beginning treatment? Do they ask you to wash your hands?
• Don’t be afraid to ask about their sanitation methods.

 

Know what you want 

The services offered at salons can vary greatly. Some offer very basic services – manicures and pedicures. Others offer an array of service options:

• Reverse French manicure
• American manicure
• Hot stone manicure
• Gel-based manicure
• Artificial nails
• Nail embellishment/designs
• Rhinestone treatments

 

Something to remember.

You may not take into consideration the smell of a salon, but this is one aspect that’s actually important – from a health standpoint. The various treatments, chemicals, and products used in a nail salon can cause very strong odors. If the odors are overwhelming, that could be a signal that the salon does not have an adequate ventilation system.

Finally, it is perfectly fine to ask about the specific products that the salon uses. Any professional nail tech will be happy to tell you exactly what products they use and why.
