Talking to my friend the other day she mentioned that in a town nearby a few nail salons have opened in recent months.
In checking out my close competition so to speak I went for a look today and was shocked at what I saw. One salon was empty and a lone hairdresser at work in the corner. 4 nail stations sitting there looking me with nothing to do.
There was a nails only salon next door which explained a lot which was relatively busy with chinese men and women doing the business with one or two clients. The third place was just around the corner within a hairdressers again with 2 chinese men with masks on in jeans and t shirts using what I can only describe as a nail sander whizzing about at maximum speed. I was horrified!!! Both shops where there was activity were doing acrylic extensions from £20!!!! The nail art on show was fuzzy and really poor quality.
(Outside of this particular town in the nearby area and near me, £40 is the least you would expect to pay for some poorly applied gel nails with a french finish.)
I do hope this type of 'service' doesn't take off other wise my future is doomed!!
What do you all think? Are these sanding machines taking over to give quick blending times and so extensions at knock down prices?
