NSS
exactly what does it mean?
NSS means Non Standard Salon, to the likes of you and me, the professional nail technicians; it means that they dont follow what we deem to be normal hygiene practice.
Some people take it for granted that these NSS are of oriental persuasion, anyone can own/run an NSS salon irrespective as whether theyre white, black, asian, oriental or blue with purple spots.
So are these NSS competition?
I hope not, they dont use the same working practices as professional nail technicians, so why should we be worried about them being competition.
By all means think of them as the opposition, their practices are the complete opposite of what weve all been taught as normal practices.
Our treatments and services should not be priced to be in the same playing field as these salons, we offer a far higher level of competence and our treatments should be priced accordingly.

- they might use an electric file to 'etch' the nail plate
- they probably don't sanitize their tools in between clients
- they probably don't sanitize their hands or their clients hands
- they probably don't change towels in between clients
- they probably don't use the correct tools for the job
- they probably don't prep properly
- they might use MMA (Methyl MethAcrylate) as their monomer
