Intro To Nail Care
Having well groomed and healthy nails isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. It used to be you’d only find a manicurist at your favourite hair salon or spa. Today nail salons are opening in every neighbourhood and you need to book 2 or 3 appointments ahead to guarantee your time. Having a professional do your manicure and pedicure is economical, efficient and relaxing.
Choose the salon and your manicurist carefully. Get referrals from family and friends with great nails. Try different salons and manicurists until you find that one that is equal to your favourite hair stylist.
Costs for services can vary tremendously. You can find manicure and pedicure combos for $35 or a manicure for $30 and pedicure for $45. The services are nearly identical, but the location, hygienic practices, atmosphere and reputation/expertise of the salon and its’ staff are the important variables. At all times it should be a pleasant and pampering experience you look forward to.
Gratuity should be the same as for your hair stylist which is usually 15%.
