I would imagine Tesco would be spot on with their training - they're upping their game for world domination!
I wouldn't get your knickers in a twist over this. Most big companies, including Boots have tried this and failed miserably.If salons work on small margins at our prices, why do you think that supermarkets will be any different? They will try it, find out that managing it is a nightmare for a mediocre return and give up. They expect floor space too return x pounds per square foot per annum. Cant see a beauty salon competing with a food aisle in that respect.
If the smell was over powering then the technician was not working correctly or using the right equipment. There does not have to be a smell when doing nails.
.
I too can't see the appeal at all of getting a treatment done in the supermarket but those that will, will also be the ones buying Fructus hair shampoo (the vilest shampoo ever) because they don't see the value in what we do or understand the word 'professional'.
Luckily plenty of others do and it will only be a matter of time before Tesco realise the ramifications of running a salon and having to deal with the inevitable off sick / not turned up employees. I say bring it on... it will only end up making the true pros look even better.

I'm not going to get into the 'Tesco world domination' argument but I don't know why there is such 'stress' over nail services in supermarkets!
If it is done right it will succeed. It will attract the people that are happy to get everything in one place (while they are shopping), it will raise the profile of 'nails' and it will provide 100's of jobs in many more areas.
If it's done badly, like so many others, it will quietly go away. Never mind 'it's bad for the industry' argument. The industry does a good job of that on its own in many cases!
The industry is growing so why can't this be seen as a positive step in this direction? The smell issue??? Tescos are really not going to chance losing any customer so this will not be an issue!
See it as positive growth and an obvious increase in demand. Don't see it as a threat! If you feel threatened then there is something that you are not doing right.
